Speaking about the latest offer, Shailendra Jha, Business Manager- Mobile Phones, Intex says “The scheme aims to add value to the buying experience of our consumers and also focuses on enhancing benefit level of our channel partners who are competing with various specialty stores floating consumer schemes so often. With Intex mobile phones available only in North India, the target audience is from two of the most important states in the region - Haryana & Uttaranchal and also from the Derabassi territory in Punjab.
