"Nokia will work on new ideas for India's fast-growing mobile phone users together with students from the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology.

The partnership is the first in a series planned to tap into the potential of countries which are seen as design hot-spots.

The Nokia handsets created in Bangalore will also be sold worldwide.
