The App Bazaar is a regional language app marketplace which offers localize store front, regional language app details and regional language search. It also allows users to download the apps and pay for them even without requiring an email ID or credit card.
“We at Micromax believe that the key levers of smartphone category growth are regional language, big screen size, 4G, online and mid premium segment. Regional language support is the most overlooked with Micromax being a pioneer in bringing language smartphones to the country with its Unite series. Basis our research, we found that consumers don’t upgrade because of lack of convenience and language inhibitions, contrary to the popular belief of price being the biggest barrier for most of the people wanting to upgrade from feature phones to smartphones. To address this challenge, we partnered with Indus OS to take a lead in breaking the language barrier and provide users the best localized smartphone experience.” said Mr. Shubhajit Sen, Chief Marketing Officer, Micromax Informatics.
“With the launch of the new Unite 4 and Unite 4 pro we are all set to yet again break down the adoption barriers by bringing together an ecosystem of device, services, local language and internet. The launch is ably supported by a powerful 360 degree marketing campaign on the theme of ‘Angrezipanti ko Dikhao Angootha’.” he further added.
The Indus keyboard lets users type in language which is a combination of English and a regional language. It also supports runtime transliteration without requiring Internet connectivity. The Text-to-Speech feature lets users translate text into audio and the languages it’s offered in are Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali and Telugu.
Lastly, there’s this Indus Messaging Service which allows Indus to Indus free messaging.
