Realme teams up with Optiemus Electronics to manufacture AIoT devices in India

The partnership has already kicked off with the production of the Realme Buds T200 Lite, an advanced earbud featuring Dual Mic AI Deep Call Noise Cancellation, powered by DNN voice recognition technology for crystal-clear calling

Realme has entered into a partnership with Optiemus Electronics Ltd. (OEL) to locally manufacture its next-generation AIoT products in India, reinforcing the country's manufacturing ecosystem and supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

As part of its long-term strategy to boost domestic production, Realme plans to manufacture its entire AIoT product range in India, including earphones, smartwatches, and tablets. Starting this year, popular products like the Realme Buds T200 series, Realme Buds Wireless series, and Realme Buds Air series will be produced locally.

Simultaneously, Realme is intensifying efforts to source essential components—such as PCBAs, batteries, mechanics, cables, and chargers—domestically. In addition to catering to the increasing demand from Indian consumers, Realme is exploring opportunities to export Made-in-India AIoT products to global markets. The company aims to position India not only as a manufacturing hub but also as a center for innovation and global production.

Realme-OEL partnership aims for 5 million AIoT devices

Together, Realme and OEL target to manufacture 5 million AIoT devices annually while generating over 2,000 new employment opportunities in India. This partnership will also contribute to the creation of a stronger local supply chain and skilled workforce to support high-volume and high-quality production.

The collaboration has already taken off with the commencement of production for the Realme Buds T200 Lite—an advanced earbud that delivers crystal-clear calling via Dual Mic AI Deep Call Noise Cancellation, powered by DNN voice recognition technology.

Realme’s spokesperson on the partnership said, “India is a dynamic and fast-growing market for next-generation AI-enabled hearables, wearables, and power management devices. We are excited to partner with Optiemus Electronics Ltd. (OEL) to bring the manufacturing of all our high-performance and value for money AIoT devices to India. This collaboration will enable us to expand our manufacturing base to cater to domestic demand, while also reinforcing our commitment to the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. At the same time, it opens up new opportunities to extend our global footprint through worldclass manufacturing capabilities established here in India.”

Ashok Gupta, Chairman, Optiemus Group, said, “We are thrilled to sign up this partnership with Realme as we believe in Realme’s philosophy of ‘Make it real.’ The fusion of AI and IoT is making hearable-wearable products and power devices smarter, more efficient and thus deliver a great value. We are thoroughly delighted to be an eminent part of this AI-based product evolution. OEL will continue to play its role in shaping electronics manufacturing in India, generate more employment opportunities, and forge the path ahead to become Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
