Motorola and Khalti have announced a strategic partnership to promote digital payment in Nepal among new smartphone buyers. As part of the agreement, Khalti has rolled out cashback offers of up to Rs2,000 on a selected range of Motorola smartphones.
Motorola seeks to promote the digital payment habit among smartphone users in Nepal through this campaign, the company said in a statement.
“We are not just selling hardware and smartphones, but also promoting smart use cases. People don’t become smart just by buying smartphones or just using Facebook. You become smart only by using the phone to make your life easy and convenient,” said Amit Agrawal, managing director of Lifecom, the authorized distributor for Motorola in Nepal.
“Khalti is working to promote mobile payment in Nepal. Thus we came up with this idea of tying up with Khalti to promote digital payment and making smartphone users smarter.”
Nepal lags far behind in mobile payment adoption compared to our neighbouring countries like India, China and Bangladesh. This partnership is expected to accelerate adoption of mobile payments in Nepal, he said.
“Though smartphones have reached the hands of almost every youth, most are not aware that the devices can also be used for payment. We are proud to be partnering with Motorola to launch this lucrative campaign and provide mobile payment service to its new smartphone users. We expect this campaign to promote digital payment among Nepali youths and take mobile payment to the next level,” said Manish Modi, managing director of Khalti.
“This is a very lucrative offer to people who are planning to buy a new smartphone. The campaign seeks to encourage current non-users of mobile payment to change their payment habit and enjoy a richer user experience with Khalti’s seamless mobile payment,” the company said.
The offer is available with four specified Motorola smartphones: Moto C, Moto C , Moto
E4 and Moto E4 . The phones are available for purchase at any authorized reseller of Motorola phones in Nepal, the company said.
