National, 8 th June 2023: Truke, India’s fastest-growing audio brand today announced its
expansion into the Nepalese market. The brand has partnered with A1 Mobile Hub to
provide its latest products in the retail market in Nepal. This strategic move supports Truke’s growth strategy, aimed at widening its customer base in new geographies and solidifying its position as a market leader in the consumer audio industry.
The favorable market environment and customer preferences drives Truke’s strategic decision to enter the Nepalese market. Initially all the products from Truke, manufactured in India, will be shipped and made available in the retail markets in Nepal. The brand will be increasing its production in India by 30-40% to ship the products to new market. By offering cutting-edge audio solutions at affordable prices, Truke aims to cater to the specific needs of Nepalese customers and establish itself as a trusted audio brand in the region.
Speaking on the development, Mr. Pankaj Upadhyay, CEO & Founder, Truke, said: “We are thrilled to expand our market presence to Nepal, which is also a youth-dominated market with over 70% of its population under 35 yrs. Being a lifestyle-conscious consumer segment, Nepal presents a significant opportunity for Truke, as consumers actively seek competitively priced TWS products without compromising on audio quality. That’s where our expertise is!”
