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.
