Notably, Tandon joined Poco India in 2022 as part of an organisation rejig.

Following Tandon's exit from the company last month, reports surfaced that suggested that the official would join CMF. The move has now been made official. Himanshu Tandon's journey at CMF by Nothing begins a month after the Nothing subsidiary shifted its global marketing operations to India, a market that has emerged as a strategic hub for the brand's international growth.

“Himanshu's proven success in the industry makes him the ideal leader to drive CMF forward. His strategic insight and deep knowledge of the industry will be instrumental in shaping CMF's next phase of growth,” Nothing co-founder and CEO Carl Pei said in a statement.

Notably, Nothing and CMF products are primarily assembled at the manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu, leveraging production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes, which support local manufacturing.

The company has recently come under fire for allegedly faking a camera sample of the flagship Nothing Phone 3 at a demo store in New Zealand. According to reports, it used licensed stock photos captured by a professional camera and portrayed them as shots captured by the handset to showcase the prowess of its camera system.
