"The srt.phone is an exceptional product which draws inspiration from the master, Sachin Tendulkar and we want more people to experience the smartphone. We are overwhelmed by the response that we received from consumers who ordered the srt.phone online. And therefore, we decided to take it to offline retail as well. We have decided to partner with Redington India to take the srt.phone to offline retail stores where consumers can experience this exceptional device and get a touch and feel of the phone. This is another step for us to put our consumers first and give them more options to buy our products " said Amit Boni, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Smartron.
