Are those two not likely to converge especially when Intex sees this crisis as an opportunity to get a grip on and majority participation in Jolla?

In my opinion the 2.0 interface changes being partially unfinished seem the result not so much from long term strategy but from recent partnership with Intex.
Intex seems like they are best positioned to purchase Jolla as their own OS and fit it in their "independency from imports".

Intex to Invest INR 10 Billion in New Handset Plant in India
Oct 6 15

Intex plans to invest INR 10 billion to open a manufacturing plant at Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh. Via this move, the company seeks to end its dependence on imports to meet its demand. The company also plans to invest an additional INR 5 billion in research and development over the next few years.

I even see the Jolla first line support department moving to India to match location of the then biggest future Jolla market.

After all Jolla has been without service center for quite a while (the writings were on the wall quite a long time already in those service related posts "bear with us" ).
