In a statement, the ORA claimed that the business methods of the firm are a clear indication of POCO's attitude to minimise spending by reaching the product through online and "illegitimate" channels without providing consumer experience. The retailers body also said that POCO is not contributing to employment generation in India, as the brand operates with just three distributors and no sales promoters in stark contrast to other major smartphone brands like Samsung, VIVO, and OPPO. These actions by POCO not only harm the legitimate sales channels but also result in financial losses to the government exchequer, ORA charged. POCO's unfair and unethical business practices have serious implications for the indust
