Betting big on the growing tablet market, IT hardware and electronics
products company Intex Technologies has set a target of generating Rs.
1,000 crore turnover in 2012-13.
Last year, the company's turnover was
Rs. 779 crore. It had set an "ambitious target of becoming a Rs. 1,000
crore company in FY 2012-13," Intex General Manager (Mobile Business)
Sanjay Kumar.
The firm aims to sell 60,000 tablets this year, he
said while announcing the regional launch of the Intex i-Buddy tablet
running on Android operating system.
"We want to sell 3.6 lakh
handsets and 60,000 tablets this year. We will be launching our 3G
tablet in August," he told a press conference here.
The company is
aiming for revenues of Rs. 400 crore from the mobile business in FY
2012-13 and expects 15 percent of revenue to come from south Indian
markets.
"South India is one of the largest markets for technology
products with 26 percent of India's mobiles being sold here. It is
definitely a potential market for Intex as well," he added.
On
today's launch, Kumar said i-Buddy comes with a 1GHz processor, a front
camera and Wi-Fi among others and is priced at Rs. 6,490. It also has a
