Screen Shot 2013-03-29 at 01.08.35A bit of game of musical chairs. First up, Nokia’s getting something from HTCopypasta instead of the other way around in the shape of Florian Seiche, a name unfamiliar to me until now. He was HTC President of Europe, Middle East and Africa, and now he’s at Nokia to head up the European sales.

Nokia’s own Middle East and Africa guy, Shiv Shivakumar, is however said to be moving out of Nokia.

Nokia gets Rs 2,000cr tax notice in India

The story of the day is the 2,000cr tax notice that Nokia’s received in India for alleged evasion of taxes.  The court granted Nokia an interim after the Finnish company filed a petition challenging the order.  On March 21st, Nokia was meant to pay within a week a sum of 2,000cr. That’s actually an equivalent of about 360 MILLION USD/300 M Euro. Quite a sum, considering Nokia invested 330 Million USD simply in the Chennai factory alone, it’s the last thing Nokia needs on its plate when balancing profitability.

Nokia said it is in full compliance with the laws related to its business operations.
