Indian connected lifestyle brand Noise announced a partnership with Optiemus Electronics Limited (OEL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Optiemus Infracom Limited, to manufacture customised gadgets.
OEL will initially design and manufacture hearable (ear-worn) products for Noise at its two plants in Noida, a company statement said.
Starting off with ‘Make in India’ TWS (true wireless stereo) earbuds, Noise intends to launch half a dozen products under the partnership in the next six months. It will launch its products in the Indian market by the end of this month, it said.
“The production-linked incentive (PLI) initiative is a stepping stone towards a pioneering role that India can play in global electronics manufacturing. Wearables are witnessing tremendous growth in India as we are the world’s youngest nation with disposable incomes, fitness-conscious youth and working-class people,” A Gururaj, Managing Director, OEL, said.
