New Delhi: Chinese handset maker Comio on Thursday said it is in talks with large format retail chains (LFRs) to expand its offline presence in the country as it looks to strengthen its foothold in the hyper-competitive Indian smartphone market.
The brand, which is operated by Topwise Communication, forayed into the Indian market last year and currently offers its devices in the northern and western parts of the country.
"We have seen significant month-on-month growth. We are already present in north and west and by April, we should be present pan-India. We are talking to various LFRs that will help us have a strong presence, especially in the southern part of the country," Comio India CEO and Director Sanjay Kumar Kalirona said.
He, however, declined to comment on the names of the players Comio is in discussions with. Comio already has 400 distributors and is present in 20,000 retail points in India.
Kalirona said the company will also expand its product portfolio in the coming months to bring in phones with dual voice over LTE (VoLTE) support.
