MUMBAI:
Film actor R Madhavan is the brand ambassador for the Dubai-manufactured Spark
mobile phones which are aimed at being ‘fashion phones wrapped in toughness’.
Madhavan said he
never agreed to endorse any product without first believing in it, and he had
checked the mobiles himself before agreeing to be the brand ambassador.
Elaine Ester who
is chairperson of the Spark Group of Companies based in the United Arab Emirates
said five models of the phone priced between Rs 2,200 and Rs 10,000 would be out
by the end of the year.
She
said the entire manufacturing had been done in Dubai, though some parts had been
imported from Korea and China. She also claimed that the entire research and development
had been done in Dubai by her company.
She said Spark Mobiles had commenced
finding distributors for the product in India and will supply the phones by December
this year.
