Despite their growing ambition in the International markets, Realme is still very committed to the Indian market. The company’s Indian CEO, Madhav Seth, has just announced that they will be greatly expanding their physical presence. Realme will open new stores and venue very soon. Moreover, the company will open over 100 more service centers across the country. They currently have 345, but until the next year, this number will grow to 435. Thus allowing users to have a fast way to fix and have local support for their smartphones.
Realme started as an online-only brand, but now it is giving a significant step to also be a physical brand. There is a large part of people who prefer to walk to a store, try a smartphone and then buy it. Considering how fast the company is growing, we expect to see it becoming Xiaomi’s major rival in the Indian stronghold.
