India's Micromax becomes 12th largest handset manufacturer in the world

[takeiteasy]

made in China? not yet we see a high end/mid-end mobile made in India.

I know nokia etc have factories in India. don't count that. read the bold part.

micromax is operated by Indians from Canada(IIRC) who source their phones from China only.

That's not true.

MiCroMax Indeed is a Good Manufacturer Each of There Hand Set Have Totally Different Features from the Others...& they Have Made Specific Mobile to Target Specific Type of People Making Variety of Handset At the Cheapest Cost Along with Guarantee...

Some people still regard is as a "Chinese" mobile. And the reliability of its handsets is questionable?

Micromax has to really improve its standards more on reliability, consumer relations and brand name to come anywhere close to premier companies like Nokia, Samsung etc.Its a tough road ahead for Micromax though.

But nonetheless, good job Micromax.

To pakistani members QMoblie is a subsidiary of Micromax India they are smart people they know that since pakistnis hate India young pakistani will not go for Indian brand easily so that have opted for a different name in pakistan.

Its simple like that.

Sorry, micromax is still just a rebadging company. It has only recently begun to set up R&D centers (for their own indigenous designs).
Though i agree that Qmobile may be rebadged micromax phones

From being a "fly-buy" phone brand, Micromax today claims to have exclusive deals with Chinese original design manufacturers, or ODMs (nobody else would have access to their designs). It's also working closely with chipset makers to tightly integrate their product features into its phones. Recently, it hired the head of R&D from a global company to steer its own efforts.

Strong R&D capability, powerful production facilities and well-equipped sales network are among the important factors which help establish our position in the industry. This is why more than 50 high-profile clients, including Micromax, turn to us for OEM/ODM projects repeatedly.

The MediaTek revolution is massive in China & India right now. MediaTek has built chipsets/platforms at prices not seen before in the world of processors. Because of these platforms, Chinese manufacturers are producing smartphones and media phones which are being retailed in China & India for sub-$100. And some of the hardware is slick – check out Micromax: Nothing Like Anything | Mobile Phones India to see some of the devices.

I friend of mine works for Sequoia in India, who are heavily invested in both Sky-mobi (the Chinese “webOS” for MediaTek) as well as MicroMax, one of the big Indian device sellers capitalizing on MediaTek, has been telling me about the MediaTek revolution for several years. This is probably the big first “outing” of what is going on in China & India with MediaTek in the Western Media that I am aware of.

Good one Micromax, today you are 12th rank may be an international brand at 4th or 5th rank after 10yrs.

 

[harpoon]

Still, brand does matter..And Nokia is having highest market share in our country..
It will be tough for micromax to compete with the brand NOKIA..

But last I heard they are loosing out to their competitors, especially in the Smart Phone Market. Their Symbain OS is losing out to Android.

Symbian is crap.

First comes iOS. Then Android. Then may be Mango (haven't used it yet).

Symbian is same old thing.

I thought Micromax is a company based in Gurgaon, Haryana....

Nopes Android is better than iOS in my opinion.. You can do so much more in Android phones like Samsung Galxy II in comparision to IPhone
