Foxconn, Apple’s trusted vendor, is stirring the pot with fresh leadership moves in India! The company has promoted V Lee, who has been the India representative for over four years, to a high-level global role as Assistant Vice President in the Chairman's office for business development at Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn). Under Lee’s able leadership, Foxconn’s India business rocketed past a whopping $20 billion, with the employee family growing close to 80,000 strong. That’s no small feat! Lee’s promotion means he’ll now play a bigger role on the global stage. But wait, there’s more! The reins of India operations have been handed to Robert Wu, the former CEO of Sharp, a Foxconn subsidiary famous for over a hundred years of tech innovation. According to official word from Foxconn, "Foxconn India Representative has been changed due to regular rotation reasons. Foxconn India representative is now Robert Wu, effective this week." This top India post is key — it’s the highest Foxconn Headquarters role in the country. Wu steps in at a time when India’s electronics manufacturing sector is facing choppy waters. US tariffs and unofficial restrictions by China on India are shaking things up. Industry watchers eagerly await clarity on certain tariffs affecting electronics shipments from India to the US, which currently remain exempt due to a review going on. In short, Foxconn is deck-shuffling smartly to tackle the changing market beats. The leadership swap signals fresh energy and global focus. How will Robert Wu steer Foxconn India forward? And what new heights will V Lee reach globally? Only time will tell, but the stage is set for an exciting next chapter!
