The growth will be driven by demand for AI-powered PCs and expansion of retail footprint to Tier-III and -IV cities.

"In the last two years, our market share has grown in leaps and bounds by acquiring the share of other brands. We are quite optimistic that sooner we should be in the position of number two within the next two to three quarters. We are around 15 per cent now, and would like to be between 18-20 per cent to be number two," Sudhir Goel (pictured), chief business officer, Acer India, told Business Standard.
