First and foremost I again reiterate to all members of @TDF that
I am not a fanboy of Micromax,nor a great supporter,nor their salesman,nor do I own any single device from Micromax...
Friends,I am not here to rant,nor to hurt anyone's feelings.Please don't take it personal brothers.
MMX is a shining example of Business is done only for profit
MMX sucks at the
"Ethical Business" thing though
Chipsets mai invest karne ke liye MMX ko pehle khud ke phones manufacture karne hoge na
Commander,I didn't expect such remarks from an intelligent person like you.
Which Business house is ethical in India? Please tell us first.
I used to honour and still now honour the legacy and legend of Mr.Ratan Tata + Tata Empire as a whole.Are they purely ethical????
Leaving aside other Big Shots Business Empires,even small fries are resorting to unethical means and getting dissolved,
only the fittest survives.
Same occured with Micromax,so why should they be blamed alone??
Does Intel resort to ethical practices against AMD in the market?
What about the legal war between Apple & Samsung? Both are to blame,as both resort to unethical means,in this present system of the world economy and market politics.
Mostly all
Indian companies are rebranding smartphones/tablets/etc. from China,so what is the big deal?
instead MMX shud invest in using Qualcomm chipsets
I completely agree with you,Zangetsu
And this is exactly why this move of mmx spending money on an international brand ambassador doesn't make sense. Rural India knows about Hugh Jackman?
Does this means, mmx is now trying to target international customers? Or is this a desperate attempt to create a false impression of the company to hide other aspects like service?
Vyom,rural India never heard of that name(Hugh Jackman),let alone see him.
Practically they are trying to do so.
If Datawind can try to sell their Tablets in U.S. and elsewhere in the world,if Tata is selling Nano to European/Asian markets,then Micromax is also trying to have a chance of gamble in the International market for selling their products.
The Sparring Bot on a killing spree!!!!!!! "But this MMX bot ain't gonna cut it."
BTW , I forgot to add a facepalm to it. Here it goes.
EDIT : This is going to make the Chinese more happier than Indians buying that re-branded piece of silicion dabba.
If you can't produce the phone , atleast design it for god's sake. Don't just re-brand it.
This "kuch bhi lelo jo saste me mil jaye./ Sasta he to better hain" is killing the quality of electronics good day by day.
Most likely .
The effing problem comes , when these MMX users take pride in flaunting their poor quality made phones and when things go wrong they start bitc**ng about poor quality services.
Never take pride in a company's growth which is
chinese in almost every other way.
Rishi,my Friend if you buy a motherboard by ASUS/GIGABYTE/BIOSTAR/ASROCK/Intel(Themselves) where is it made???
Even if ou buy a higher version of Intel core-i7-4***(Haswell) series or AMD FX-8*** series,are these made in AMERICA or GERMANY?
Nearly 90% of the electronics manufacture(Including IT Hardware to minute components...) are outsourced and made in China.No denial in that.
HUAWEI,ZTE,BEN-Q,LENOVO are vendor/manufacturers of IT Hardware products,representing which country? You cannot reject this Global Companies as trash or crap.
Are you guys sure Hugh Jackman was roped in because of the Indian demand?
From a business point of view this move makes some sense because a person known across the world will be better able to promote your product to a more global audience than most Bollywood people will. Even the bigwigs at Bollywood (except perhaps Amitabh Bachchan) cannot compare to many famous Hollywood people.
This move can only mean one thing: MMX has set it's eyes on global expansion and sales now.
Instead of ridiculing MMX, we should be a little happy that if MMX is able to get good sales abroad, this means more cash flow into India, which helps improve the congress-created tatters we call the Indian economy.
Remember, the majority of the world is not composed of geeks, nerds and computer scientists/engineers. They are average joes who will care about a phone that looks well, does well the job that it is asked to do, and if applicable, comes with a good contract. Over here, the marketing men and the aforementioned factors matter.
This is the point I am trying to tell you,Friends.
@Extreme Gamer has touched my thoughts...
Thanks Friend.
Actually I am trying to emaphasising on the reality,that Micromax is running and running steadily.
Mr.Hugh Jackman is no Fool to endorse products from a trash company,such that his image sulks or tarnishes.Money obviously matters here but not the whole of transaction.
Same thing could be said about Farhan Akhtar (endorsing for
Intex, termed to be crapware by many) and Hrithik Roshan(endorsing for
ACER, where ACER is a Trashware/crapware by many of our @TDF Friends and sites such as Laptopmag.com. But ACER also made the ASPIRE R7 marvel,everybody should note it).
Are these two acclaimed famous Indian actors such a fool to endorse trash objects,in lieu of money only and putting their "IMAGES" at stake???
I have tremendous inhibition and anger against Datawind.I always try to make people avoid buying their Ubislate 7 series Tabs...which I have remarked in numerous threads and sections of @TDF.Does that deter people from buying their products,even members/friends belonging to our @TDF.
Because it is a right of choice,a right of Liberty, a democracy in itself. It is a subjective decision always made by us. Which may be right OR which may be wrong,but it's a decision we make.
This is my whole point.
