We live in a time where one can’t help but be surrounded by technology. Today the tech industry is buzzing with advancements in wearable technology, connected devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence. While the smartwatch has found its bond with consumers, a new trend of ‘Hybrid Smartwatches’ is carving a niche for itself.
As the world transitions from traditional analogue watches to digital smart watches; a young start-up by the name of Sanzar Futureteq Private Limited has taken the leap to propel itself into a leading local player in the segment.
