As written by us earlier, Microsoft has prompted Micromax to come out with Windows based smartphones by offering them their Windows 8.1 mobile OS without any licensing fee to get leverage in India and emerging markets where Android eco-system is very popular.
Speaking at the launch event, Mr. Bhaskar Pramanik, Chairman, Microsoft India, said, “I congratulate Micromax on the launch of their first Windows Phone today. The Micromax Canvas Win will be available both in India and other emerging markets. Our deep engagement with local OEMs is one of the engines of growth for Windows Phone and we are proud of our partnership with Micromax. With Micromax Canvas Win, Windows Phone is now available to a whole new group of consumers in India, who are looking for innovation and value.”
