Global smartphone major Mobiistar aims to become one of the top-five smartphone brands in the sub-Rs 10,000 segment by the end of this year. To strengthen its market in Bengal, Mobiistar is going to hire 175 employees from the state. Out of 1,000 service centres across India, 61 are concentrated in West Bengal and again out of which 14 are present only in Kolkata. The company is also going to partner with 30 distributors and 2000 retailers from West Bengal.

Mobiistar launched 5 selfie centric smart phones in West Bengal’s offline market on September 12. It entered Bhubaneswar, Odisha the day before yesterday and is planning to enter Guwahati, Assam today.

“We entered the country via online market on May 23. We wanted to highlight our strong commitment towards the country by establishing ourselves profoundly into its ecosystem. West Bengal is an essential market for us as the smart phone penetration is good in this market. Mobiistar provides good experience with affordability. With our new range of selfie centric smart phones, we are expecting to become a part of the top-five smartphone brands in the affordable segment by the end of this year” Carl Ngo, co-founder and CEO of Mobiistar, India and Global said.
