Nothing Spins Off CMF as Majority Indian-Owned Company with Local R&D
Nothing is spinning off its CMF smartphone sub-brand into a standalone Indian company, majority owned and headquartered in India, with its own team and research and development operations. CEO Carl Pei emphasized that while India is the world's second-largest smartphone manufacturer, it lacks a global consumer electronics brand with strong in-house engineering. The move aims to build such capabilities locally, leveraging Nothing's expertise, with a goal to produce 100 million phones annually and develop CMF into a global brand from India.
