In world’s top 10 mobile makers, Micromax announced a strategic investment in Scandid, a mobile product and savings discovery platform.
The Scandid app helps customers compare prices and discover discounts across top e-commerce and local retailers, helping them make informed choices.
The Scandid investment further reinforces Micromax’s foray into application services and building an integrated mobile ecosystem.

We have a roadmap to provide integrated services and leverage the mobile as a platform to converge these services,” Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma, said in a statement.
Scandid is a free mobile first shopping discovery and price comparison app, which compares prices across 10 million products from 200 online merchants. Users can discover discounts across Flipkart, Snapdeal, Amazon and hundreds of other e-commerce stores. Scandid also provides information from local neighbourhood retailers.

As m-commerce grows and mobile becomes the key platform to not just shop but also compare to get best deals, Micromax’s investment will help us reach the last mile customer and strengthen our position as the leading mobile shopping destination.”
