YU is the first and only mobile brand that has pioneered Onsite Doorstep Service in 283 cities, wherein it provides replacement for inwarranty customers and COD option for out warranty customers. We strongly believe that Service is a big differentiator and this is the 2nd phase of our Service journey to elevate experience of the customer who should have an option to have Service at home or experience in one of our Service Centres. With the launch of YUNIQUE, YU is introducing over 825 Authorized Service Centres across more than 600 cities wherein customers can walk in for Software Support, drop their Handsets and get replacement handsets at their Door Step. This service will be soon extended to all YU devices.
YU has also partnered with Airtel to provide YUNIQUE users moving to Airtel, with a double data offer i.e. any new 4G Airtel sim activated will be eligible for an equivalent GB of data free, valid for 6 months. This offer will get activated from the day a consumer activates a new 4 G sim on YUNIQUE.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Rahul Sharma, Founder, YU Televentures said, “India is at the tipping point of digital revolution and we expect 4G technology to push internet usage to an unprecedented level. Consumer demand is constantly shifting towards devices offering multi-tasking capabilities, 24×7 data connectivity with increased video consumption and real-time mobility solutions. However to boost adoption, 3 key things including price, product and reach are important. I feel that with YUNIQUE being available at 4,999 through a partner like Snapdeal that has the farthest reach, we have a compelling preposition to delight the consumer.”
Talking about the partnership, Kunal Bahl, Co-founder & CEO, Snapdeal said, “We are extremely excited about our partnership with YU, a brand that has truly redefined the technology experience.
