After Xiaomi and realMe, contract manufacturer Optiemus bags order from OnePlus
NEW DELHI: After Xiaomi and RealMe, another top Chinese electronics provider OnePlus has outsourced the production of its audio and internet-of-things (IoT) products to a local Indian contract manufacturer. The announcement comes as India pushes the production of hi-tech electronics products in the country amidst the US tariff war with China. Optiemus Electronics will be making the products at its factory in Noida, which is in line with OnePlus' plan to localise production in the country. For Optiemus, this is the third such deal after it scored a similar partnership with other Chinese players Xiaomi as well as RealMe previously. 'The strategic partnership aligns with OnePlus' long-term vision for India and the recent project Starlight commitment to strengthen localisation efforts in the region. OnePlus is extending efforts towards expanding its local manufacturing capabilities and has now begun manufacturing its IoT portfolio of products in the Noida-based facility, in addition to its existing smartphones range being made in India,' the Chinese company said. Ashok Gupta, Chairman of Optiemus Group said the collaboration marks a significant step in expanding its electronics manufacturing footprint. 'We specialize in transforming ideas into reality, and this partnership empowers us to manufacture high-quality IoT products. Together, we will continue to explore new frontiers and remain committed to playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of electronics manufacturing in India,' Gupta said. Robin Liu, CEO of OnePlus India, said the partnership with Optiemus reflects the company's commitment to Project Starlight. 'This collaboration is not just about technology— it's about empowering local communities, creating meaningful innovation, and bringing smarter, more connected experiences to our India community." OnePlus' key IoT offerings include TWS products and wireless neckbands. In April this year, Chinese realme had also partnered Optiemus to manufacture its next-generation AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) products in India, which include earphones, smartwatches, and tablets. The deal saw Optiemus and realme manufacture five million AIoT devices annually while generating over 2,000 new employment opportunities in the country.

According to a report by the Financial Times, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has cautioned employees about potential job losses among white-collar roles due to the rising use of AI. This message, conveyed through an internal memo on Tuesday, highlighted the growing presence of AI within Amazon's operations, particularly in logistics. Elon Musk's AI venture, xAI, is reportedly spending $1 billion each month as development expenses exceed revenue, Bloomberg reported, citing insiders. To fund its operations, the company is now seeking to raise $9.3 billion through a mix of debt and equity. Over half of this funding is expected to be used within three months, following substantial earlier expenditures. As India's NEET 2025 medical entrance exam results were released, an AI bot named 'Allie' developed by Allen, a top coaching institute, made headlines. While students across the country faced the high-pressure test, the AI tool also took the challenge, reportedly outperforming a significant number of human test-takers. As the role of generative AI (GenAI) in software development becomes more prominent, it is increasingly impacting the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the broader Application Development and Maintenance (ADM) segment. Industry analysts suggest that as much as 10–15 per cent of IT services revenue could be at stake due to this evolving technology.
