Vikas Jain, Founder, Play, and co-Founder, Micromax.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: Micromax-incubated wearable startup Play<\/a> expects to clock Rs 200 crores revenue in FY24, growing from Rs 90-100 crores in FY23, on the back of growing demand for wearable devices<\/a>.

“We should be growing at 100% by FY24. We see no reason why we should not be able to. Growth does not remain to be a challenge,”
Vikas Jain<\/a>, Founder, Play<\/a>, told ETTelecom in an interview.

The brand derives 50-55% revenue from the
smartwatch segment<\/a>, while the rest comes from acoustic devices<\/a> such as TWS and headphones.

“Because the average selling price with a smartwatch is high, a substantial part of the revenue will come from the wearable. For us also, about 50-55% of the revenue comes from wearable and the balance comes from the acoustics category right now,” he said.

According to the latest data from the
International Data Corporation<\/a> (IDC), smartwatch was the fastest growing wearable category in India, clocking shipments of 30.7 million units in 2022 — surging 151.3% year-over-year.

<\/tbody><\/table><\/div>
Smartwatches, he said, will continue to see improved feature additions such as sleep tracking, medical-grade sensors for monitoring health parameters, better display technology like AMOLED, and others. These factors, will in turn, drive the average selling price (ASP) of smartwatches.

However, the smartwatch ASPs are on a declining trend, at $42.5 (~Rs 3,500) versus $61.2 (~Rs 5,000) a year earlier, as per IDC data.

“Over a period of time, the smartwatch will become a complete device in itself,” the executive said, adding that more smartwatches in the affordable segment will feature cellular connectivity.

The two-year old brand currently has 3-4 electronic manufacturing services (EMS) partners in Northern India and is also evaluating one more such partner in South India. The executive, however, declined to name the companies.

“Basically, we qualify the product and we put the components to their factory, and they produce basis our specifications,’ he stated. “We've not gone into production by ourselves.”

Play gets 98% sales from retail stores and the balance from the online channel. In the offline channel, its products are available across 48,000 retail stores and the brand plans to double its retail footprint to 96,000 stores by the end of FY24 to drive better customer engagement.

At present, 65% of its offline presence is in metros and 35% in rural areas. “We are focusing on expanding our reach because we feel the consumer needs to feel our device, see and experience our device before buying,” said Jain.

Play is funding its operations from internal accruals, but it has also been approached by external investors. “At an opportune time, [external funding] is something that we will explore,” said Jain.

Play has a headcount of 70 at present and the brand is considering hiring more people for roles in R&D, sales, back-end, and for other positions.
