The second phase would cover next eight cities," Bishwajit Sutradhar, National Sales Manager, NetGenie.

The next big thing the company has initiated is the creation of "Experience zones". This actually targets the Laptop sellers because they cater to the mobile customers. "Here, the customers would get the feel of the use of NetGenie, and the same counter can be used for buying too," he added.

As of now, there is only one "NetGenie Experience zone" operational in Mumbai, but soon it would be unveiled in Ahmedabad, Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata. "From February onwards, we would speed up the process and expect to create such100 experience zones across the country," Sutradhar informed.

To keep the partner in the festive mood, they announced an attractive gift. "The national scheme, launched in the festive season of New year and Christmas, is exclusively for the partners and resellers working on the NetGenie Home and SoHo devices. Cyberoam has ensured a gift worth Rs.500 on every NetGenie device for the channel. With such schemes, we will ensure the motivation of the people working with us closely and at the same time ensure their bottom and top-line," he said.
