Distributors in Tamil Nadu will stop purchasing Vivo mobiles, a Chinese brand, till the management hikes the commission charges and settles pending dues to the tune of ₹200 crore.
PM Ganeshraam, founder and State President, Tamil Nadu Consumer Products Distributors Association (TNCPDA), said in a press release that the Vivo management reduced the commission from 6 per cent to 4 per cent last year. The management has also terminated distributors from Salem, Madurai and Puducherry.
Ganeshraam said the association wants the management to reverse these changes. However, the recent discussion with Vivo management failed and TNCPDA decided to stop the purchase of Vivo mobiles.
Their other demands include providing five-year agreement with smooth separation policy of 120 days’ notice period, reinstating terminated office-bearers and settling rent dues and branding incentives to the tune of ₹200 crore to mobile retail traders.
According to the press statement, the brand was launched in Tamil Nadu in 2015 and is doing a monthly turnover of ₹100 crore. There are 37 distributors who have invested ₹130 crore.
