Leadership Uncertainty at Infinix India
Anish Kapoor, CEO of Infinix India, is reportedly leaving the company.
Multiple industry sources told Digit that Kapoor may have resigned earlier this year and is no longer with the brand.
Neither Infinix nor its parent company Transsion Holdings has officially confirmed the departure.
Sources suggest strategic differences between the India team and Chinese leadership may have led to the split.

The uncertainty has also triggered employee movement across departments, with some product and marketing team members reportedly joining rival smartphone brands.
Day-to-day operations continue as normal, but the company's product roadmap has been affected.
Between January and May 2026, Infinix launched only a limited number of smartphones compared to the same period last year.
Market Share and Shipment Pressure
Industry analysts attribute the slower launch pace to portfolio adjustments, financial pressures, and rising component costs.
The budget smartphone segment, where margins are thin and competition fierce, poses particular challenges.

Market data cited in the report shows Infinix shipped around 2.9 million smartphones in India in 2025.
However, shipments dropped to approximately 500,000 units between January and April 2026.
The brand's market share has also declined in recent months, reflecting broader difficulties for Transsion's smartphone business in India.
Despite a strong presence in international markets, especially Africa, Transsion's outlook in India remains uncertain.
