Already having a manufacturing plant in Greater Noida, OPPO is in the process of setting up another large facility there to assembly completely knocked down phones. Massive and focussed brand-building though sponsorship of popular TV shows and T20 cricket and signing up local heartthrobs – Hrithik Roshan, Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone – as also aggressive pricing has helped the brand rise to the top of the charts in the smart phones market in India.
