History
Micromax made its debut in 1991, but it has only become well known in the past few years. The company entered the Indian cell phone handset market in March 2008. Within six months, it had won a market share of 0.59%.
Micromax has seen a rise in market share since that time. Micromax is now the largest Indian domestic mobile handsets company, in terms of units shipped during the quarter ended March 31, 2010[citation needed] and the third largest mobile handset seller in India as at March 31, 2010[citation needed]. On March 31, 2010 the company registered the market share of 6.24% for that quarter, which grew from 0.59% in September 2008. Micromax became the fastest-growing mobile brand in India for the fiscal year 2009–2010. Handset sales have grown by 123.48% from 1.15 million units in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to 2.57 million units in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Micromax also sells data cards to service providers in India.
On July 28, 2011, Micromax has withdrawn its 4.66 billion rupees (about $106 million) initial public offering(IPO) due to volatile market conditions.[8] The withdrawal was recommended by its board to allow thetherefore company to focus on new product launches and product development.
Currently Micromax has released 5 Android Smartphone devices in the market. Company is supposed to release kernel source for their Android Smartphones as Android uses Linux kernel which is covered under GPL (General Public License). But company has not released the kernel source code for any of their Android devices till date and is believed to violate the terms of GPL.
Users of Micromax Android Series phones e.g. A60, A70, A73, A75 & A85 are continuously asking the company to release kernel source code. Micromax has denied to release kernel source code and no reason has been provided yet for such denial.
