In addition to this, replying to a comment on Twitter, Micromax said, “We are working hard internally and soon we will come up with something big. Stay tuned!”. This comes amid the ongoing tensions between India-China due to violent clashes in Galvan Valley. People are looking for Chinese smartphone brands alternatives and Micromax is a potential player that fits the portfolio. The company is also using hastags like #VocalForLocal, #MadeByIndian, and #MadeForIndian.

Hi, Hitesh. Glad to see your support for #VocalForLocal
We are working hard internally and soon we will come up with something big. Stay tuned! #Micromax #MadeByIndian #MadeForIndian
