We have introduced several new models in quick succession and created a strong base in the smartwatch segment. We sold over 40,000 smartwatches in October last year, i.e. during the festive season. In comparison, we are targeting sales of over 50,000 units every month from January onwards. We plan to continue to delight our customers by introducing several new product features. The overwhelming customer support and our consistent efforts will help ensure that we can capture a 5% market share in the Indian smartwatch industry by the end of next fiscal.”
