Ai+ has officially expanded its consumer hardware portfolio in India with the launch of the NovaTab 5G and Nova LapTab, arriving alongside the budget Pulse 2 FE smartphone.

With sub-₹20,000 aggressive pricing, Ai+ is taking direct aim at mid-range slates for remote learning and hybrid productivity.
