It is an attempt by Micromax to cut through the cluttered and crowded smartphone market at a time when it has seen its market share erode over a couple of quarters with Chinese smartphone brands making a beeline for the country," adds the report.

In fact, the company has already started selling its popular Unite series smartphones, Unite 3, with FirsTouch OS, a customized version of Android.

"The Unite 3 is a very strategic model for us where we're going a step ahead with translation and transliteration. We're going to work with them across all our phones for the language support, going forward," Micromax's chief marketing officer Shubhajit Sen told the business daily.
