Micromax, the brand every Indian knows for its popular Canvas Series back in its days, that changed the definition of affordable smartphones in India. After a successful run with its Canvas Series, Micromax had failed to compete when the Chinese giant Xiaomi entered India with its very affordable Redmi Series of devices. The Indian brand failed to keep up with the aggressively priced devices like the Redmi Note 4G, and had tried to compete against it with its YU branding with devices like YU Yureka, YU Yunicorn, and more, but couldn’t fight long. But now, Micromax is planning a mega comeback in India with its new sub-brand “in” visionary to PM Narendra Modi’s Atmanirbhar Bharat movement.

But bigger than anything is the pride it gives. Our endeavor is to bring India on the global smartphone map again with ‘in’ mobiles.
India is one of the top five mobile gaming markets in the world, and with the ‘in’ brand, we will provide a bona fide choice that will allow consumers to edge ahead with high performance-oriented products, without infringing on their privacy.
