London-based technology brand Nothing has appointed its Co-founder, Akis Evangelidis, as India President. In his expanded role, he will lead the company’s strategy and growth in one of its most crucial markets.

India has been a key driver of Nothing’s expansion, with the brand emerging as the country’s fastest-growing smartphone company in 2024, registering a 577% year-over-year shipment increase, according to the company and Counterpoint Q4 2024 India Smartphone Tracker.

I’m very excited to step into this new role and continue to bring distinctive, design-led tech innovations to Indian consumers.
