Realme’s drastic growth
In a recent study by many research organisations including Counterpoint Research, Realme has posted a YoY growth of up to 40%. This immense growth has been due to the company’s strategy of bringing products at competitive and affordable prices compared to its competitors.
The company has held discount sales throughout the year. The most recent 4th-anniversary sale saw discounts of up to Rs 7,000 on many of its smartphones and other product lines.
