Competitors
It needs to create a state of balance by entering smoothly into the market
without losing out on their customers
17. Insights
Study of Top 5 smartphones clearly shows that in order to
penetrate into the
market they are actively participating on facebook, twitter,
youtube,
blogs and also through dedicated websites meant to talk about the
particular smartphone.Note: these smartphones are meant to reach out
internationally and is not limited to a particular country.

indianized approach, something that makes them feel a
part of the Micromax family
