South is one of the largest markets for technology products with 26 per cent of India's mobiles getting sold in South India. It is definitely a potential market for Intex as well. We aim to grow multifold in the southern states. The brisk economic growth in these states, contemporary lifestyles and buying behavior amongst the youth makes it an appropriate destination for offering Intex' latest android tablet - the i-Buddy - which is the slimmest 7" tablet in India."
The tablet will first be launched in Tamil Nadu, followed by other states of South India. This will be followed shortly by North, West and East India.
