But now the popular domestic mobile phone manufacturer is now said to be making plans to reach out to the Russian markets by this December. This could be the company's first step in becoming a global smartphone brand. Moreover the company has been successfully operating in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

In fact, by roping in Hugh Jackman as its brand ambassador, the company indicated that it had plans to head into the global market. The company is also reportedly said to have set-up an office in Russia. Reports further say that the company has also hired initial employees there.

Apart from that, since Google apps don't work in Russia, it has tied up with Russian search giant Yandex which will probably be providing the apps to the Micromax phones there.
