BlackBerry India MD Sunil Dutt quits

NEW DELHI, INDIA: BlackBerry India MD Sunil Dutt has left whilst the company is trying to make comeback in the smartphone arena. Confirming this to CIOL, Dutt said that he will chart out his plan in next two to three weeks.

''Yes. I quit the company. I am reviewing the future plan and will take decision in two to three weeks,'' he said. Dutt joined Research in Motion (RIM), now BlackBerry, in December 2011, after quitting HP India's Personal System Group in May 2011.

BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins earlier told Bloomberg he was thrilled with BlackBerry Z10 response. Heins asserted that the inventory worth five days was sold out in the first two days in India.

BlackBerry devices, however, slipped to 79 million units worldwide, said a recent AP report. In India, the company, of late, has shifted focus to enterprise sector.
