Micromax Informatics is an Indian multinational manufacturer of consumer electronics and home appliances, headquartered in Ludhiana, Punjab. It was established in March 2000 as an IT software company operating in embedded systems.

In 2014, Micromax was the tenth largest smartphone vendor in the world. In the subsequent years, the company faced stiff competition from Chinese companies that began penetrating the Indian market. The company also owns YU Televentures, which sells its products under the brand name YU.
