HP Telecom India

About the Company

HP Telecom India, founded on March 26, 2011, has evolved from distributing mobile phones to becoming a major distributor of Apple products in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh. Initially focused on mobile accessories, the company expanded its offerings under the guidance of its promoters to include home appliances and secured exclusive distribution rights for several mobile brands and Sony products in 2014-15. A significant development occurred in 2016 when it acquired distribution rights for Apple in the Vapi Region. Despite a brief foray into manufacturing N95 surgical masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, HP Telecom now primarily drives revenue through Apple products, which constitute over 80% of its sales, while continuing to diversify with brands like ‘Nothing’ and expanding trading operations in Karnataka.
