IDC India and South Asia, Research Manager, Bharath Shenoy said this is the fourth consecutive quarter of year-on-year growth for the consumer segment.
"Vendors kickstarted the back-to-school/ college campaigns, and good demand was seen in the e-tail channel as well during online sales. Vendors stocked the channel to prepare for upcoming Independence Day sales, which gave a healthy growth in consumer PC shipments," Shenoy said.
