Mobile phone maker SmaHan
has announced plans to close
their research and development
centre near Mumbai by the end of
this week. The centre, which first
opened two years ago, came up
with the design for SmaHan’s most
recent model, the SH-X, which
performed below expectations in
the market.
The management team and
engineers at the centre have been
informed of the decision and
redundancy packages agreed.
SmaHan will pay for the rental
property until the lease ends in
three months, unless they can find
someone to take over.
SmaHan is determined to continue
offering low-price, fashionable
smartphones and intends to
learn from the mistakes made
in producing the SH-X. CEO
Jinsoo Park said he regretted the
closure, which was partly caused
by his own failure to choose the
development team carefully
enough. He insisted that all of the
engineers at the facility were very
talented, but that the company
failed to help them understand its
vision clearly.
It’s expected that none of the
Mumbai-based team will return
to the office. Mr Park assured
SmaHan SH-X owners that the
company will continue to support
the product, and promised to
issue software updates in the near
future that would solve some
of the problems that users are
complaining about.
