Two Detel shops in Rajasthan

This e-commerce portal is currently retailing used and refurbished Apple, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Samsung and Lenovo smartphones.

Yogesh Bhatia, at the launch of 17-inch TV, told Electronics For You, “India has a population of almost 1,350 million people, out of which around 400 million, are yet to be connected. Detel’s vision is to connect these people. Keeping affordability in consideration, we have launched this affordable 17-inch LED TV in India.”
