Chinese telecom major Huawei is debating whether it should focus on its national origins or seek to win the heart of India by positioning itself as a global company for its CSR activities.

The other group feels this will send wrong signals, as if the company is trying to impose its own culture. A better way is to position itself as a global company with an Indian footprint as it would win more hearts. Let’s see which side comes out on top.
