India or Germany? Techie's 45 LPA vs 80,000 euros offer sparks fierce online debate
An Indian software engineer earning ₹ 45 lakh per annum posed a question to the developers community in India about a job offer in a Berlin startup, which has triggered heated opinions online. In a Reddit post titled 'India or Germany? FinTech Startup offer in Berlin,' the senior software engineer wrote that he was recently laid off but received a job offer in Germany paying 80,000 euros a year. Techies joined the conversation, with an overwhelming majority asking him to stay in India, citing lifestyle changes.(Representational image/Unsplash) "I am a senior software engineer with 8 years of experience, drawing a 45+ LPA salary(in hand, perks are also provided separately). I was laidoff recently and started giving interviews, even to companies hiring outside India. Got a chance to give interviews for a Fintech startup in Berlin, but I am in doubt whether it is a good decision to relocate to Germany. It is proper startup and also they are providing 80,000 EUR per annum. How should I compare and make this decision?" he wrote. Techies joined the conversation, with an overwhelming majority asking him to stay in India, citing lifestyle changes. India vs Germany "80,000 euros per annum. Living costs are high in Germany, especially when you have a family. Other than that, you get good perks. And even taxes are around 35-50%," said one of them. Others offered a detailed breakdown of real take-home income and monthly expenses in Germany: "Assuming you are single, after taxes, you will make approximately 3,800 per month. Rent will take away 1200-1500. Food, groceries, utilities, transportation, internet etc will easily set you back by another 1200-1500 EUR. At the end you can save 500-1000 EUR per month depending on your lifestyle," wrote one of them. Some advised shifting focus from salary to lifestyle: "More than salary, if you're interested in work-life balance and standard of living, then go for Germany." "Close to 50% taxes and a yearly increment of 1-2%. 80k yearly is not that much, honestly and not worth it. Racism is on the rise and Germany today is comparatively unsafe compared to pre-2016," said another user

‘Make in India' success: Chinese smartphone brands bet on India for manufacturing & exports; Indian phonemakers compete for assembly
The Indian smartphone sector remains at around 150-160 million units yearly. (AI image) Chinese brands look to ' Make in India ': Indian contract manufacturers are intensely competing in large-scale smartphone assembly, aiming to secure additional orders from Chinese brands that seek to broaden their manufacturing presence in India amidst shifting global dynamics. Chinese brands, experiencing growth and starting exports from India, are broadening their supply chain networks to maintain cost advantages rather than depending on a single Indian supplier as the smartphone production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme approaches its end. Motorola, owned by Lenovo and previously relying exclusively on Dixon Technologies, has begun allocating some production to Dixon's competitor Karbonn, another PLI-eligible manufacturer. Motorola remains Dixon's primary customer, with projected volumes of 12 million units in FY25, according to an ET report. Chinese smartphone brands grow volumes in India The Indian smartphone sector remains at around 150-160 million units yearly. Industry observers note that increasing competition could restrict local companies' expansion, with Dixon particularly vulnerable to losing production volumes to competitors. The available market for contract manufacturers stands at 80-90 million units annually, excluding Apple and Samsung's independent supply chains in India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Adidas Three Shorts With 60% Discount, Limited Stock Available Original Adidas Shop Now Undo This volume is anticipated to be distributed amongst three to four major manufacturers in the future. Incoming call Initially, Dixon was the sole Indian firm claiming PLI benefits, as others struggled to secure clients. However, recent years have seen firms like Karbonn, Micromax, and Lava becoming PLI beneficiaries. These organisations could potentially claim government incentives alongside Dixon upon achieving specified targets. Also Read | Not just Apple iPhones! Android smartphone makers like Samsung, Motorola step up exports from India to US; move due to Trump's tariff policies Longcheer, Dixon's second-largest client and a Chinese ODM (Original Design Manufacturer), which contributes 7 million units to Dixon's FY25 production, has begun shifting approximately 2% of its volume from Dixon to Karbonn since May, aligning with its Indian expansion strategy. In a June 24 report, Phillip Capital indicated that Karbonn's handling of Motorola's production volume increased significantly from 5% in January-February to 25% in April-May. The shift in Motorola's supply chain corresponds with increased sales and exports from India to the US, following the implementation of substantial tariffs on China by the Donald Trump administration. An industry analyst informed ET that Motorola's monthly operations have grown from Rs 2,400 crore, previously managed entirely by Dixon, to Rs 3,000 crore, with the additional Rs 600 crore being assigned to Karbonn. Longcheer is also strengthening its Indian operations to safeguard against potential restrictions on Chinese exports. According to the aforementioned analyst, Longcheer's production in India could swiftly rise to at least 15% of its total volume, as there was no exclusive arrangement with Dixon. Also Read | Reducing acute dependence, countering China's near monopoly: India readies Rs 5,000 crore scheme for rare earth minerals Dixon's market share faces competition from Bhagwati Products Ltd (Micromax), which has established a joint venture with Chinese ODM Huaqin. This partnership affects Dixon's potential revenue from its strategic Vivo manufacturing facility in India, according to Phillip Capital's analysis. "(Dixon's) Management expects the JV to handle two-thirds of Vivo India's mobile phone volumes. Assuming a proportional volume-to-value ratio conversion, the JV would generate a topline of Rs 160bn at optimal utilisation, of which Dixon's share would be Rs 80bn," the report said. The Bhagwati-Huaqin collaboration has achieved production levels of 1.6 million smartphones monthly, with operations commencing in the second half of 2024. "Bhagwati is one of the fastest-growing EMS players in India. They are projected to close June at 1.6 million units per month, and are aiming for more market share. This rapid ramp-up has occurred within a year, primarily from Oppo and Vivo under the partnership with Huaqin," an industry executive familiar with the situation was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, Huaqin collaborates with Bhagwati for Vivo and Oppo devices, whilst partnering with DBG for Xiaomi production, according to the analyst. "I foresee the market having space for at least 3-4 players in the coming years, instead of just one as the ecosystem grows. The volumes will be commanded by players which can offer the desired quality of service. Cost comes secondary," one of the executives said. Dixon leads in Android device production volumes, whilst Foxconn and Tata Electronics produce iPhones for Apple, which is experiencing rapid growth. Apple's iPhone production reached ₹1.48 lakh crore ($17.5 billion) in 2024, showing a nearly 46% increase. Apple's supplier network is projected to achieve $30 billion in yearly production in India by year-end. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
