Micromax makes Bangladesh debut

Indian handset maker Micromax has set foot in Bangladesh by launching a series of mobile sets.
Reach Distribution Ltd, a sister concern of Giant Group in Bangladesh, will distribute the handsets through more than 2,500 sales outlets.
Micromax launched 12 models -- nine GSM and three CDMA -- priced between Tk 2,000 and Tk 16,000, the company said in a statement yesterday.
The phone models will include feature-rich mobile phones, ranging from 30-day battery backup, dual SIM, QWERTY chat-phones, music-touch phones, lifestyle phones to utility phones.
Micromax already has a presence in Hong Kong, US, Dubai, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
"We have been keenly observing the Bangladesh telecom market for the tremendous growth it has undertaken over last few years. We are sure that wireless communication has a great future in the country," said Vikas Jain, business director of Micromax Informatics Ltd.
