India, like any other emerging market, is significantly important for HTC. Internationally, HTC is struggling to sell its premium ranged HTC One. With Beats Audio already announced to buy back $256 million worth of HTC's shares; it's clear that the Taiwanese-based tech vendor is set to face tough times ahead. Without a doubt HTC need to launch low-to-mid end handsets, and India could become one of the biggest markets for Butterfly S maker.
