The agreement marks a significant milestone in India’s evolving digital manufacturing landscape, bringing together Alcatel’s design legacy and Padget Electronics’ proven electronics manufacturing expertise. It positions NxtCell India as a key player in reintroducing the Alcatel brand to the Indian market with premium smartphones tailored to local consumers.
