Now that the Chinese smartphone market has become saturated, telco makers are trying to jump through all the hoops the Indian government is setting up so they can set up shop there.

One of the most common methods being adopted by foreign companies is to butter up the Indian government by setting up R&D and training programmes or setting up large local manufacturing operations.

Now MediaTek has announced a training program to foster and develop talent for India's fast-growing handset industry, while disclosing plans to triple its workforce locally to 1,500 employees.

The training programme, created in collaboration with India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Indian Cellular Association (ICA) and Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), will propel the "Make in India" initiative.
