Startups have the potential to change the landscape of urban India and Microsoft wants to be a part of it, said its India-born CEO Satya Nadella on Thursday.

The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Dual SIM sports a bigger 5.7-inch QHD display with a pixel density of 518ppi.

“We believe that low-priced broadband connectivity coupled with the scale of cloud computing intelligence that can be harnessed from data can help drive creativity, efficiency and productivity across governments and businesses of all sizes”, the first Indian-American Microsoft CEO said. “In the next 10 years, there will be more computing in people’s lives – on their wrists, in the rooms they walk into, big screens, small screens, things without no screens (sic) like sensors”. He stated that the company will demonstrate how technology, when in hands of majority, will give boost to innovation.

Microsoft is the world’s largest software company. The device will follow the slim and metallic design of the recent Surface devices, the Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book, but being a smartphone, it will not have the same high-end specs.

Fadnavis also said that, “We have brought a lot of services online and we want Maharashtra to be a role model for other states”. “Digitization is helping us re-conceptualize our world”.

He also expressed excitement over what developers could do with new types of computers. Unlike the past, it is good to see Microsoft planning to bring their new devices quickly to Indian market.

Microsoft Surface Pro 4: Along with the new Lumias, Nadella also announced that the latest Surface Pro 4 tablet will launch in India in January 2016. Next year will be critical for Windows 10 adoption, he says, and for building market share for cloud products such as Azure. “Over and beyond, he did fair justice to what can be expected from Microsoft’s corridors in the near future, including HoloLens and Machine Learning among other areas”, he added.
