Most of the technology world thinks BlackBerry is in serious trouble, but one BB exec disagrees. BlackBerry India’s managing director Sunil Lalvani was quoted in a recent interview and it sure sounds like he is in denial.
Time will tell if BlackBerry can recover from the massive losses in market share, and market cap, but to say they are not in trouble sounds extremely naive.
“BlackBerry is not in trouble,” Lalvani stated bluntly in a recent interview with The Indian Express. ”I would be candid to admit that yes indeed, we have had one tough last year or little over the year. But if you analyse historically, there are two reasons to it. BlackBerry was one of the pioneers in the smartphone era with the revolutionary feature of having your e-mails on the move. But the entire mobile industry has evolved and it is evident by the huge influx of new smartphones in the market.”
