"Within the first 10 months of becoming independent, we are the third-largest online smartphone player in the market and even sold over 1 million units within the first week of the Big Billion Day sale on Flipkart. 2020 has been an exciting year for us at Poco India and we are looking forward to creating newer milestones in 2021," Anuj Sharma, Country Director, Poco India said in a statement.

As part of the celebration and extending its gratitude, Poco India is discounting its best-sellers for a limited time. Consumers will be able to purchase Poco C3 3+32GB variant at Rs 6,999 and 4+64GB variant at Rs 7,999.
