The company, which has been manufacturing Acer’s home appliances in India since 2021, will also locally produce these smartphones. To support this growth, Indkal Technologies raised $36 million in its latest funding round to enhance product development and expand manufacturing capabilities. This collaboration is set to deliver high-quality smartphones at competitive prices, with a focus on the mid-range segment. These smartphones are expected to be priced between Rs 15,000 and Rs 50,000, ensuring accessibility for a broad range of consumers.
