Pune, March 29^th, 2017: For ages, homemakers have invested in their families, taking care of them and keeping them bonded & united without expecting anything in return. Intex Technologies, a leading consumer electronics player, has sought to invest in the heroes who run our homes and acknowledge & thank them for the pivotal role they play, by launching its first ever range of air conditioners dedicated to homemakers that will provide a cool and conducive working environment at home all day long at minimal cost. Intex Air-Conditioners have incredible features that make them environment friendly with efficient & effective cooling, thereby making them a value for money offering for consumers.

Says Mr Vishal Malik, Head (Retail), Intex Technologies, “Women in any form of relationship have always played the backbone of the family, been a symbol of sacrifice in our society since ages and are generally taken for granted. In all this, she has not only forgotten to take care of herself and avoided her comforts but also been a victim of non-acknowledgment. Intex has always striven to change people’s lives through affordable and quality products and following the huge success of our recent additions in the consumer durables portfolio, we complete our product portfolio by standing for all homemakers in the country, giving them a product offering that will become a symbol of their strength and emancipation.”
