The country's second largest mobile handset maker Micromax on Thursday partnered with Aircel and MediaTek to offer one-stop solutions to address data demands.
While Aircel will provide range of offers for consumers, which will be equivalent to cost of a device, MediaTek will offer its chipsets for powerful user experience, Micromax said.
The offers will be initially available across four Micromax devices — MMX 377G (dongle), Funbook Mini 410i, A090 and X070.
While Aircel customers can get data benefits for six months at ₹141 with the dongle, including 2 GB/month data for the first three months, the Funbook customers can get 1 GB data per month and 1.2P/2 sec in local and STD callings. Similarly, in smartphone devices customers can get 500 MB data per month and 1.2P/2 sec on local/STD calling, the company said.
“Entering a new phase, our focus is now to provide seamless solutions to the consumers using their smart devices, concentrating a large chunk of our efforts on coming up with products and services which act as solutions to the fast evolving consumers,” Vikas Jain, co-founder, Micromax, said here.
Targets $1 billion revenue Meanwhile, the company said it expects to hit $1 billion (around ₹ 6,100 crore) in revenue by end of this financial year, as targeted earlier.
The company’s revenue were recorded at ₹3,168 crore for the last financial year.
In an interview with Business Line in November 2012, the then CEO of the company Deepak Mehrotra had said that target is set — to make Micromax a $1-billion revenue company by 2014.
