In January this year, the Shenzhen-based phone-maker bid adieu to its financially-troubled Chinese partner LeEco and announced an investment of $300 million from Power Sun Ventures, a family trust. “The fresh funding that we have received is primarily for the Indian and the US markets. We are not working much in China because that market has few opportunities; but we will play very aggressively in India and in the US market,” Tajuddin had said at that time, adding that the company plans to expand its capabilities in Artificial Intelligence (AI) space.
