Global CEOs of Nokia and <keyword id="6356812" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ericsson" source="Orion">Ericsson</keyword> see <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> taking lead over the rest of the world in the digital infrastructure with the fastest 5G rollout, making it a bright spot for future economic growth. While speaking at the CII Partnership Summit, Nokia Corporation President and CEO <keyword id="4324516" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="pekka-lundmark" source="Orion">Pekka Lundmark</keyword> said that India will be one of the key winners based on the developments happening around the world. "What I believe is really impressive is the way India has been systematically building the digital ecosystem. Now the most ambitious and the fastest by a big margin 5G rollout in the world, these are our building blocks for the future economic growth in any country and India is really taking a lead in this respect," Lundmark said. He said that India is now the second biggest market for Nokia and the company is exporting 5G base stations from here to other parts of the world. "The next big thing in India will be industrial digitalization, manufacturing industry 4.0 and the opportunity to use this platform that you've been building to attract more and more manufacturing, and also very importantly R&amp;D to the country," Lundmark said. Ericsson, President and CEO, Borje Ekholm said 4G helped build digital companies in the US and China like Facebook, Tencent etc and with rapid 5G rollout India will have the most modern digital infrastructure. "We saw all the big consumer applications developing over the last few years. We have seen them develop in the two countries that built out the first 4G networks in the world. That happened to be the United States and it happened to be China. Almost all jobs in the consumer sector or digitalized in the consumer were created there. "With 5G, we're going to digitize society and those jobs will be created in the country where the digital infrastructure is built first. With the pace India is building out 5G, it will have the most modern digital infrastructure in the world," Ekholm said. Both Ericsson and Nokia pitched for the world to follow a global standard to keep the cost of technology lower otherwise it will hurt economies of scale, digital inclusion of rural masses and the global economy. General Atlantic (India), Managing Director, Sandeep Naik said that India is a top-growing economy and foreign direct investment worth USD 100 billion is estimated to flow in India over the next 10 years. "In terms of private capital entering India, we did around USD 40 billion in 2021, I see that easily going over USD 100 billion in the next five years. I think that is a conservative number in terms of private capital coming into the country. As General Atlantic, we will have a fair share of that market," Naik said. Nestle India, Chairman and Managing Director, <keyword id="2691730" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="suresh-narayanan" source="Orion">Suresh Narayanan</keyword> said that the spectre of inflation, especially food inflation is still there. "We cannot wish it away and we cannot assume that it is not going to be haunting us for a while. This clearly has implications in terms of price values, cost, incomes, expenditures and all of that. The fact that we are a consumption-driven economy, gives us a lot of hedge in terms of some of the global volatilities that we have. "I think an important issue for us is to use the opportunity to digitally transform our businesses across the value chain," <keyword id="49091" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="narayanan" source="Orion">Narayanan</keyword> said.

Global CEOs see India as a bright spot, leader in 5G rollout

<keyword id="6354716" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nokia">Nokia</keyword> has announced it will lay off 10,000 <keyword id="6357081" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="employees">employees</keyword> in the next two years as part of its <keyword id="620644" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="restructuring-plans">restructuring plans</keyword>, reset its <keyword id="10944738" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="cost-bases">cost bases</keyword> and invest in R&amp;D and <keyword id="9429475" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="future-capabilities">future capabilities</keyword> including 5G, cloud and digital infrastructure. On a group level, this is expected to lower the company's cost base by approximately 600 million euros by the end of 2023. These savings will offset increased investments in R&amp;D, future capabilities and costs related to salary inflation. "Planned restructuring is expected to result in an 80,000-85,000 employee organisation, over an 18-24-month period, instead of the approximately 90,000 employees Nokia has today," the company said in a statement late on Tuesday. In October last year, the company announced a new operating model designed to better position the company for changing markets and align with customer needs. "Nokia now has four fully accountable business groups. Each of them has identified a clear path to sustainable, profitable growth and they are resetting their cost bases to invest in their future," said <keyword id="4324516" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="pekka-lundmark">Pekka Lundmark</keyword>, President and CEO. "Each business group will aim for technology leadership. In those areas where we choose to compete, we will play to win. We are therefore enhancing product quality and cost competitiveness, and investing in the right skills and capabilities," Lundmark added. The savings will take place gradually and will offset increased investments in R&amp;D, future capabilities and costs related to salary inflation. Additional long-term benefits that Nokia will action include streamlining its portfolio and reducing site fragmentation, the company said. Nokia said it expects approximately 500 million euros of cash outflows related to its previous restructuring programme. The company said the mobile networks division aims to be the indisputable top in wireless mobility networks and associated services. To achieve this goal, Nokia will focus on strengthening technology leadership and will further invest in 5G R&amp;D. It will also accelerate efforts to digitalize processes and tools across the value chain.

Nokia to fire 10,000 employees globally over the next two years as it shifts investments to 5G, cloud and digital infrastructure

New Delhi, Mar 2 () Telecom gear maker Nokia on Monday said its board of directors has appointed Pekka Lundmark as President and CEO to succeed Rajeev Suri. Lundmark is expected to start in his new role on September 1, 2020 and will be based in Espoo, Finland, the company said in a statement. It added that Suri, Nokia's current President and CEO, had indicated to the board earlier that he was considering stepping down from his role at some point in the future, provided a solid succession plan was in place. "Nokia's board of directors has conducted a structured process for CEO succession and has been working closely with Suri to develop internal candidates and identify external candidates. That process culminated today, March 2, 2020," it said. Suri will leave his current position on August 31, 2020, and continue to serve as an advisor to the Nokia board until January 1, 2021, as per the statement. Lundmark is currently President and CEO of Fortum, an energy company based in Espoo, Finland. Prior to Fortum, he has served as President and CEO of Konecranes. Between 1990-2000, Lundmark held multiple executive positions at Nokia, including Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at Nokia Networks. "With the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent behind us and the world of 5G in front of us, I am pleased that Pekka has agreed to join Nokia," Risto Siilasmaa, Nokia board Chairman, said. Lundmark has deep experience in telecommunications networks, industrial digitisation, and key markets such as the US and China; and a focus on strategic clarity, operational excellence and strong financial performance, Siilasmaa added. "After 25 years at Nokia, I have wanted to do something different. Nokia will always be part of me, and I want to thank everyone that I have worked with over the years for helping make Nokia a better place and me a better leader," Suri said. SR ANSANS

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Nokia said on Thursday it is planning to cut up to 14,000 jobs — or around 16% of its workforce.</li><li>The company is planning to lower costs by up to 1.2 billion euros by 2026.</li></ul>Finland-based mobile company Nokia is planning to cut between 9,000 to 14,000 jobs amid a sales slump and reduced demand for 5G equipment, it <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2023/10/19/2762852/0/en/Inside-Information-Nokia-accelerates-strategy-execution-streamlines-operational-model-and-takes-action-to-protect-profitability.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Thursday. The higher end of these cuts is likely to impact around 16% of the company's current global workforce of 86,000.The layoffs are part of cost-cutting measures to reduce expenses by 400 million euros, or $421 million, in 2024 and a further 300 million euros in 2025. The company wants to reduce total costs by 1.2 billion euros by 2026.In a separate<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2023/10/19/2762850/0/en/Nokia-Corporation-Interim-Report-for-Q3-2023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> statement</a>, Pekka Lundmark, the CEO of Espoo-based Nokia, said that the company's third-quarter sales of 4.9 billion euros had declined by 15% compared to the previous year due to macroeconomic challenges and higher interest rates. The company reported operating profits of 424 million euros in the third quarter, a 36% drop from the same period last year."Resetting the cost base is a necessary step to adjust to market uncertainty and to secure our long-term profitability and competitiveness," Lundmark said.Nokia — which sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft in 2014 — expects to meet the lower end of its sales targets in the third quarter, which were set in the range of 23.2 billion to 24.6 billion euros.Nokia also slashed its outlook for the overall mobile networks market in 2023 and is now expecting a 9% reduction, compared to a previous forecast of a 2% drop. The company's slowing 5G growth in India could no longer compensate for the similar slowdown in North America, said Lundmark.A Nokia spokesperson directed Insider to the company statement in response to a request for comment.

"By then, [2030], definitely the smartphone as we know it today will not anymore be the most common interface."According to Lundmark, the "physical world and the digital world will grow together." The eventual result could involve a user going into a VR world, flipping a switch or turning a dial, and changing something in the real, physical world. An industrial metaverse "could include models similar to comprehensive, detailed digital twins of objects that exist in reality," according to <a href="https://www.industryweek.com/technology-and-iiot/emerging-technologies/article/21234184/is-the-industrial-metaverse-the-next-big-thing">trade magazine Industry Week</a>.Ruth Parlot, chief financial officer at Alphabet, was also on the panel. She predicted that people would soon be able to instantly translate conversations using <keyword id="6369782" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="augmented-reality" source="Orion">augmented reality</keyword> (AR) glasses. "You'll be able to wear AR glasses and translate languages as you speak," Parlot said.There is no standard definition of 6G at this stage. It was <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-telecoms-5g-idUSKCN1RH1V1">only in late 2018 and early 2019</a> that telecommunications networks began to roll out 5G on the commercial market in the US. Lundmark said moving to 6G would require even more expansive computational resources, including networks that are hundreds, if not thousands of times faster than 5G. Experts describe 6G not just in terms of faster speed and response times but as a major shift in networks, driven by technological development in quantum mechanics and artificial intelligence.Part of that shift would include interactive technologies that integrate the other human senses, such as smell, taste, and touch, into the user experience, Marianna Obrist, professor of multisensory interfaces at University College London, <a href="https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2022-05-10/asi-sera-la-vida-en-10-anos-gracias-al-6g.html">wrote in El País</a> earlier this month."There will be the physical world and then there will be a digital world. There will be pretty much a digital twin of everything out there," Lundmark added during the panel discussion.

And the company beat revenue estimates as well, hitting €6.57 billion in net sales for the quarter.However, the Finnish Telecommunications firm said its net sales will be affected by a decline in mobile-network revenue going forward as the company was unable to convert all of its 4G footprint to 5G during 2020."We expect 2021 to be challenging, a year of transition, with meaningful headwinds due to market share loss and price erosion in North America," Pekka Lundmark, Nokia's CEO, said.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/crypto-bitcoin-investing-strategy-voyager-dogecoin-cryptocurrency-interest-stephen-ehrlich-2021-2?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingestm=ingest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investors are flocking to trade Dogecoin and other hot digital tokens with no Robinhood-style restrictions on Voyager.

Free cash flow rose to €778 million in the quarter, and the company has significant cash reserves to continue its 5G buildout in 2021.Overall though, investors weren't pleased with the quarterly results from Nokia.
