The wearable smartwatches segment in India continues to be a niche category despite the presence of big brands like Apple, Samsung and Huawei at the top of the pecking order and cheaper Chinese brands at the bottom.
To stand out in the small yet crowded smartwatches market, a quality product at an affordable price tag is the only mantra for success and an Indian startup company might just have struck the right balance between the two.
