In 2022, the top five spots in the TWS segment were occupied by Indian companies. While Indian companies have been performing well, this is the first time that Indian companies have held all five positions. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Four out of five TWS earbuds sold in Indian" comment="subhead" text="Four out of five TWS earbuds sold in Indian">Four out of five TWS earbuds sold in Indian</cmsannotation> Indian companies accounted for 80% of total TWS shipments in 2022, their highest share ever, with the top five brands accounting for 66% of total shipments. This means that for the first time, four out of five TWS earbuds sold in India were from an Indian company. “Four-fifths of the total market was captured by Indian brands, their highest-ever share. For the first time, the top five spots were taken by local brands, which captured two-thirds of the total TWS shipments in India,” said Anshika Jain, senior research analyst at Counterpoint Research. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="boAt continues to lead the market" comment="subhead" text="boAt continues to lead the market">boAt continues to lead the market</cmsannotation> boAt, which has been the market leader, topped the list for the third year with a 39.7% market share in 2022, up from 38.9%. The company has reported an 89% year-on-year growth. The company captured seven spots in the top ten TWS devices sold in the country, and its Airdopes 131 earbuds alone occupied a 10% share of the total TWS shipments. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="MIVI reports record growth" comment="subhead" text="MIVI reports record growth">MIVI reports record growth</cmsannotation> Another player that performed quite well in 2022 was MIVI. The domestic manufacturer reported a 544% year-on-year growth to occupy the fourth position with a market share of 6.2%, up from 1.8% in 2021. This has been attributed to new launches from the company and its presence in the popular sub-₹2,000 segment. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Domestic production increases 15x" comment="subhead" text="Domestic production increases 15x">Domestic production increases 15x</cmsannotation> Domestic production of TWS also received a huge boost in 2022, with the market share of domestic production in total shipments rising from 2% in 2021 to 30% in 2022, registering a 15x increase. “Domestic manufacturing saw rapid growth, contributing 30% of the total shipments in 2022, compared to just 2% in 2021. Key homegrown brands boAt, Mivi, and pTron ramped up their local manufacturing capabilities to account for 73% of the domestic shipment volume in 2022,” said Liz Lee, associate director, of Counterpoint Research.

Having piqued the interest of four out of five sharks, PrimeBook received individual offers from Aman Gupta, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, and Anupam Mittal, along with a combined offer from all five sharks.

According to the company, this OS is specifically designed for learners, and users can access millions of Android apps from Prime Store. With MediaTek Kompanio 500 processor, Primebook 4G is said to deliver fast performance and an immersive learning experience. Besides this, the Android laptop is integrated with Mobile Device Management (MDM), by which parents can control usage. Also, with MDM’s help, they can access history and timelines and enable safe browsing. Primebook just weighs 1.2kg, making it easy to carry. Further, the PrimeOS is coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 200 GB. It has an 11.6- inch display, a 2MP full HD camera for video calls, and a claimed battery life of 10+ hours once fully charged.
