Micromax launches two smartphones as part of the new Evok series in partnership with Flipkart

Indian smartphone manufacturer, Micromax, has announced the launch of two new smartphones – Evok Note and Evok Power – as part of an exclusive Evok series in a strategic partnership with online retailer Flipkart.

Micromax has a good standing in offline retails channels, but with this latest partnership, the company aims to establish an exclusive brand that could drive its sale online. To start with, Micromax will launch devices as part of the new Evok series to gain share in ₹6-12k online category and build Micromax brand preference on Flipkart.

Micromax has always been a frontrunner when it comes to breaking performance barriers with our innovative product offerings and the success of all our Canvas series is a testimony to this. With the launch of the new Evok series, we further strengthen our resolve to offer the best products to consumers at competitive price points.
