What were we doing for them? And with that thought YU was born,” Sharma explained to BGR India.

To recap, Yu partnered with Cyanogen last year to offer a customised user experience to buyers of its first smartphone - the Yureka. The company adapted an online sale strategy to counter other brands like Motorola and Xiaomi.
