Oppo, Realme and OnePlus to have separate sales operations
smartphone manufacturer BBK Group, which was using Oppo Mobiles India as the sales and distribution company for three brands such as Oppo, Realme and OnePlus, is breaking this sales structure to de-risk the business which is under increased government scrutiny.
The plan is to let individual brands have its own sales and marketing team so that all brands are not clubbed together in case of further government action.
Realme Mobile Telecommunications (India) has started wholesale sales of Realme smartphones and other tech products through this entity, as per the company's latest regulatory filings to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) sourced from business intelligence platform Tofler.
The filings show there has been a change in nature of the business of this entity -Realme Mobile Telecommunications (India) is now the Realme brand licensee from Realme Chongqing Mobile Telecommunications Corp and will now manage wholesale, marketing, distribution, after sales service, and other incidental activities of the brand.
While OnePlus' latest filings shows it is yet to implement such a structure using OnePlus Technology India, which continues to be an entity which does marketing, brand promotion, professional and technical business services, industry executives said, but the scope of operation of this entity too will be expanded to include sales and distribution.
Emails sent to Realme and OnePlus remained unanswered till Thursday press time.
