Mohit Goyal is the managing director of Noida’s company Ringing Bells. Last year, the world’s cheapest smartphone, Freedom 251 collected a lot of headlines. In February 2016, the company had planned to deliver 2.5 million handsets by June 30. Ringing Bells got more than 7 million registrations and after that, the company’s payment gateway crashed.
According to reports, Goyal said that despite the commitment to give smartphones to every Indian under a campaign like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Start-up India’, the government did not give me any kind of support. Goyal claimed that, even after the advance payment, the government did not let them deliver “Freedom 251”
After failing to deliver the phone, Mohit Goyal, who had brought Freedom 251 to the market, was sent to jail for 6 months. Now he has come out on bail and he has issued his statement as soon as he arrives. Mohit Goyal said that if the government helps him a bit, he can deliver the phone to the customers by March-April next year.
