"While desktops and notebooks haven't really seen a major bump in shipments, tablets are in much higher demand than before, resurrecting what was a dying category in India. Due credit for that should be given to remote learning, as well as the accelerated digital transformation of multiple industries and processes," Aithal added.
The South Korean tech giant accounted for 9.8 per cent market share in India after shipping 403,000 units of PCs, including desktops, notebooks and tablets, in the April-June period.
