The opening of our first R&D Centre in Hyderabad is a step in that direction and strengthens our commitment to the Indian consumers," said Charles Wong, OPPO India President.

As the Vice President and Head R&D, Oppo India, Arif will be leading the team which will focus on software localisation for Indian consumers as well as device quality.
