The challenge was a lack of centralized device testing infrastructure and fragmented user data in India. The solution was the launch of a large-scale, multi-device lab enabling real-time testing, sentiment analysis, and rapid feature validation. This accelerated product readiness, improved reliability, earned recognition for operational excellence, and set a blueprint for APAC expansion.
Launched a first-of-its-kind India-based lab with over 1,000 devices to support 1P, 3P, and OEM/SoC development, debugging, and testing.
Orchestrated high-stakes launch with senior leadership visibility, aligned with global milestones and executive visits.
Deployed structured sentiment analysis, review aggregation, and in-market research (Flipkart, Amazon, etc.) to feed insights into product partnerships.
Set up and scaled Trusted Tester and internal user testing programs, enabling fast-track feature validation across multiple hardware form factors.
Enabled global device procurement and international logistics through new vendor networks spanning Taiwan, Singapore, and Nairobi.
Developed bespoke labs (e.g., for regional carrier-specific devices) and secure zones for confidential testing in compliance with legal and tax guidelines.
Built end-to-end lab operations infrastructure, including vendor onboarding, testing vendor management, and manual testing automation frameworks.
