Dear Members ,
Yesterday, March 6th, 2025, marked a significant step forward for our industry in Eastern India . We had a productive meeting with all brand state heads along with AIMRA Bengal Leaders, focusing on driving industry development and establishing a benchmark for ethical business practices.
Key discussion points included:

Is Samsung Giving Up on Indian Retailers? 😠
#SaveOurRetailers#SamsungIndia
There's a growing concern among Indian retailers regarding Samsung's business practices. Here's why:
* Ecommerce Favoritism: Samsung seems to be prioritizing online platforms with preferential supplies and deep discounts. This hurts brick-and-mortar stores that rely on fair margins.
* Unfriendly Retailer Approach: Reports suggest a cold and unfriendly approach from Samsung towards retailers. This discourages them from promoting Samsung products.
* Direct Competition: https://t.co/gN9utbxvVR and service centers are actively pushing pre-orders for the S25 Series , competing directly with their own retailers.
These practices are leading to:
* Retailer Stock Returns: Discouraged by the above factors, retailers are returning unsold stock to distributors.
* Market Share Loss: Samsung's unfriendly behavior is pushing retailers towards Chinese brands, which already hold over 70% market share (3Q 2024 IDC).
A Call to Action for Samsung India:
* Talk to Retailers: @Samsung Korean management needs to understand the challenges faced by Indian retailers through open communication.
* Fair Treatment: A balanced approach that benefits both online and offline channels is crucial.
* Support Retailers: Building strong partnerships with retailers will ensure Samsung's long-term success in India.
If @SamsungIndia doesn't address these issues, they risk losing the Indian market just like they lost in China.
Let's spread the word and urge @Samsung to #SaveOurRetailers!
Share this post if you support Indian retailers!

@AimraIndia@LakhyaniKailash@arvinderkhurana@np0509 In the fiercely competitive business environment, substantial expenses and narrow profit margins can pose significant challenges. It's crucial for brands to understand the necessity of providing Zero Debt Burden Support to bolster hard work, especially during the festive season.
🇮🇳🚀 After the grand success of mobile manufacturing in the country, India takes a bold step towards self-reliance with a significant move! 📈 To promote local manufacturing and shield citizens from cyber threats, DGFT announces immediate restrictions on imports of laptops, tablets, and PCs. 🛡💻
Additionally, the IT sector receives a massive boost of 17,000 Crores as a Production-Linked Incentive (PLI). 🤝🏭
This strategic move is set to propel India's growth, reducing the trade deficit and making us future-ready by reducing dependency on foreign tech. 📉🌐

We're glad to see the government bodies being more vigilant about the illegal trade practices adopted by the Chinese smartphone giants.
#AIMRA supports @dir_ed vigorous action against @XiaomiIndia by seizing ₹5551 CR worth of assets over deliberate FOREX violations.
Due to unfair & unethical trade practices of the Chinese Brand- @OPPOIndia, Indian retailers are upset & have decided to do a hunger strike in OPPO offices across India on the 27th of April to have a level playing field. @CCI_India@DPIITGoI@CAITIndia@swadeshimanch@OraIndia1
Great brand butt contaminating the relationship with retailers of India. Management should come out with an immediate solution instead of selling the old school statements.
@OPPOIndia is deliberately diverting customers to the Online platform, restricting sales of K-series from the mainline retail fraternity, establishing an unfair, biased & anti-competitive trade practice with a tremendous threat of impacting the nation's economy unfavourably.
