Sony is looking for another opportunity to expand its business in India after the proposed merger of ZEE fell through last month.
President, COO & CFO of Sony, Hiroki Totoki, said India is a very appealing market where it would continue to invest.
“India, on a long-term basis, has a great growth potential. It’s a very appealing market. Therefore, we will try to seek various opportunities and if we can find another opportunity that would replace this type of plan,” Totoki said when asked about the company’s strategy in India after the termination of the proposed merger.
