In addition, it has its own regional app marketplace for content, App Bazaar, available in 12 languages.
“‘Today, we are proud to have over 5mn users on Indus OS, and now with Intex onboard, we expect to continue this exponential user growth. The regional language ecosystem holds immense potential in the Indian smartphone market, and Intex is a strong force to reckon with. Our vision is to bring technology in the hands of every digital Indian and the coming together of two of the most powerful brands in smartphones, is a very essential step forward,” said Rakesh Deshmukh, Co-founder and CEO, Indus OS, in a statement.
Indus OS has also collaborated with the Govt. of India’s Department of Electronics and IT (DeitY) to introduce OS integrated text-to-speech technology in regional languages.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Vineet Singh, Head – Digital Services, Intex Technologies said, “Intex has always brought innovative products and services to its consumers, be it the multi-lingual App – Matrabhasha or the women safety app, Sashakt. With Indus OS, Intex is taking its mobile services a step further, where consumers with regional preferences not only communicate but can transform their smart phone experience into their native language and also get the benefit of multiple utility services deeply integrated with Indus OS. Intex as a brand understands the pulse of consumers and we look to further strengthen our footprints not only in metro cities but small towns.”
