Finland-based smartphone company, Jolla, has signed an agreement with Snapdeal.com, India's largest e-commerce marketplace, to launch its handsets in the country. Jolla runs on independent operating system Sailfish.
“India is the rising smartphone market of the world and we look forward to welcoming many new Jolla fans across the country. Since late 2011 when we established the company Jolla, we have received a tremendous amount of interest from India to enter this great market. In particular, we have found it very encouraging how much there is interest and trust for mobile heritage coming from Finland, and what kind of development opportunities there are to start to develop e.g. local applications for India," Sami Pienimäki, Co-founder and CMO, Jolla, said.
Kunal Bahl, Co-founder & CEO, Snapdeal.com, said: "The smartphone category has been getting an extremely encouraging response on our platform. However, the market in India offers few choices in terms of mobile operating systems."
