India to host its own Mobile World Congress (MWC) this year



Aside from the Barcelona chapter of the Mobile World Congress, there's a separate MWC edition that's held each year in China's Shanghai. Now, a new MWC event has been announced that will take place by India, the world's second-largest smartphone market.



The India edition of MWC will be focused on reaching out to the South East Asian markets. The GSMA Association, which organizes the yearly MWCs has agreed to associate with the three-day event that'll kick off in the country's capital city of New Delhi on September 27.


"There is Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and an edition in Shanghai," said COAI (Cellular Operators Association of India) Director General Rajan S Mathews. "There is nothing in between for South East Asia. India is emerging as one of the global leaders in telecom which we will also showcase in the Indian Mobile Congress."

Mathews revealed that all local mobile operators, as well as companies like Facebook, Huawei, Ericsson, Cisco etc are likely to be in attendance.
