Expecting India to power its next leap, Lenovo plans to double its business in three years, riding on Motorola smartphones, enterprise growth, and AI-led innovation.
Lenovo plans to double its India business within the next three years, driven by strong momentum in Motorola smartphones and rapid growth across infrastructure and services, according to a report by The Economic Times.
Amar Babu, President for Asia Pacific at Lenovo, said India has emerged as one of the company’s fastest-growing markets globally. Growth is being fuelled by rising domestic demand and Lenovo’s strategy of using India as both a consumption market and an innovation base for global operations, he highlighted.
Motorola has been a key driver. The smartphone brand has more than doubled its revenues in India over the past two years. At the same time, Lenovo’s infrastructure and services businesses are recording high double-digit growth, reflecting rising enterprise spending on data centres, cloud and digital solutions.
Babu said Lenovo expects this momentum to continue across all business lines. He added that sustained investment in innovation, manufacturing capability and local talent would be critical to achieving the company’s growth targets.
India is also playing a larger role in Lenovo’s product development. The company is designing its mainstream servers locally, while a significant share of software development for Motorola devices is handled by Indian teams. Talent based in India increasingly supports Lenovo’s global operations, not just its domestic business.
While the company did not disclose hiring numbers, Babu said Lenovo would continue to add people and infrastructure ahead of demand. He described India’s talent pool as highly attractive and central to the company’s long-term plans.
Lenovo India reported revenue of $1.2 billion in the September quarter, marking a 23 per cent year-on-year increase. Demand was supported by digitisation, uptake of premium products, and improved consumer sentiment.
Globally, Lenovo has stepped up its focus on artificial intelligence (AI). At Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, the company unveiled Qira, a personal AI agent designed to operate across laptops, tablets and Motorola smartphones.
Qira can summarise notifications, provide real-time transcription and translation, and coordinate tasks across devices. It can operate offline and is expected to become more personalised over time.
Lenovo also announced an AI cloud partnership with NVIDIA to help enterprises train and deploy large-scale AI models.
