Datawind, the maker of Aakash tablets, has signed a long-term partnership with global cricket technology company CricHQ.
Under the partnership, Datawind will pre-install CricHQ applications on all its tablet devices.
This initiative is aimed at bridging the digital gap between professional and grassroots cricketers across rural and urban India by providing them with a cricket technology usually reserved for the games elite.
“From an amateur gali cricketer in a small town to a professional player, anyone can afford our low-cost PC tablet. This Rs 4,999 device not only allows you to make phone calls, access high speed Internet, study with preloaded NCERT e-books, and now with the preloaded CricHQ app, it will also allow you to live score your own cricket matches, receive live ball-by-ball updates from cricket around the world and even access cricket coaching videos,” said Suneet Singh Tuli, Chief Executive Officer with DataWind.
