The smartphone behemoth Realme has teamed up with Optiemus Electronics Limited (OEL) to manufacture its next-generation AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) products in India as part of a strategic move to boost the country's high-tech manufacturing environment. The program supports India's "Make in India" goal and coincides with a worldwide tariff reset that is forcing tech firms to expand their production bases.
A company statement states that Realme and OEL want to produce 5 million AIoT devices a year while adding more than 2,000 new jobs in India. The action is a crucial component of Realme's long-term plan to localize all of its AIoT products, such as tablets, smartwatches, and earbuds.
Additionally, the statement indicated that this year, India will start producing flagship items including the realme Buds T200, wireless, and air series. The company is dedicated to sourcing crucial components from local suppliers, including batteries, chargers, cables, mechanics, and PCBAs (Printed Circuit Board Assembly), to enhance domestic value creation.
"Beyond addressing the growing needs of Indian consumers, realme is also evaluating opportunities to export Made-in-India AIoT products to global markets, establishing India not just as a manufacturing base but as a global hub for innovation and production," the release said.
In order to facilitate large-scale, high-quality AIoT manufacturing in India, the partnership is anticipated to develop a strong local supply chain and a trained labor force.
