Last year, India had already managed to produce an estimated 100 million of the devices.

India has started to define itself as a worldwide hub for the production of mobile phones and, as such, it is now lining itself up to reach the tremendous milestone of 500 million units within the next two years.

The Department of Telecom (DoT) announced that this growth is spiking due to very specific reasons.

A statement from the DoT said that the production of mobile phones has been able to grow at this considerable rate due to a solid incentive policy as well as having quality talent readily available. J.S. Deepak, the Telecom Secretary, explained that “The number of phones being manufactured was 10 million sometime back (now it has increased) to 100 million. The time has come when we will reach 500 million, may be in 2 years.”

Deepak pointed out that a differential tariff was assisting domestic manufacturers in the mobile phones market.

That said, while speaking on ART (Adjudication, Regulation, Telecommunication) of Convergence at a TDSAT seminar, he also shared that the differential tariff was also helpful to areas other than mobile technology, such as in consumer electronics, medical electronics, in addition to broadband set-up boxes and equipment.

Deepak added that with the incentive policies and the strong talent base, the country has started to define itself in the worldwide market for the manufacture of mobile devices, particularly in the area of lower-end cell phones.

This is one of several efforts being made by the Indian government in the hope of decreasing electronic product imports in order to be able to meet domestic market product requirements by creating its own solid structure of production.

In response to this move in India, a number of different large electronic device makers have started to step into the country. Among those companies have included Lenovo, Micromax, Gionee, Lava, Xiaomi, and OnePlus. This has allowed India to define itself among the most rapidly growing mobile phone markets on the planet. It is not surprising that this is presenting a considerable appeal to device makers from the rest of the globe.

The company has made a number of bets on top mobile gaming applications with celebrity names.

Glu Mobile has now announced a new deal that will allow it to create a Taylor Swift game app and continue its efforts to keep gaming applications in the most popular lists through the use of hot celebrity names in their titles.

The company has previously seen considerable successes with games that have gone viral – and hugely profitable.

Among the most notable Glu Mobile products that have come before the Taylor Swift game app deal include “Kim Kardashian Hollywood”. That mobile application reached astronomical heights, at its most popular point. Now, the gaming company is clearly hoping to continue to replicate those types of successes with another breakout title by way of a partnership with a tremendously popular celebrity.

Details about the Taylor Swift mobile game have not yet been released by Glu Mobile or the pop star.

What was revealed was that Taylor Swift and Glu Mobile would be working together in a partnership that is expected to remain intact for several years. The purpose is to come up with a mobile game that will provide a “new and highly differentiated gaming experience.” That was the full extent of the game details that were released, which clearly isn’t very much.

It is expected that the mobile game app will be launched near the end of 2016, according to the predictions made by Glu. The company also pointed out that this was the first time Swift has ever stepped into the mobile gaming world.

That said, the Taylor Swift game app with Glu might be the first gaming application that will be created by the pop star, but this is far from the first time she has developed a property on mobile real estate. In fact, she has already won an Emmy award for her “AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience,” in the category of “Original Interactive Program.” That mobile app was available both on Android and iOS based devices and makes it possible for users to head inside a 360 degree experience of the artist’s “Blank Spaces” music video.
