iBall is an Indian electronics manufacturing services company headquartered in the city of Mumbai. It imports computer peripherals, smartphones and tablets from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).[2][3][4][5]

History

iBall was incorporated in September 2001 by Anil Parasrampuria, initially selling computer mice. As of 2011, the company sold consumer electronics products in 27 different product categories.[6][7][8][9] In 2014, iBall launched the Andi Uddaan smartphone for women. An SOS button located at the back of the phone sounds a loud siren and automatically sends text messages (SMS) to five pre-selected contacts when pressed.[10]

In May 2015, iBall launched the iBall Slide i701 in collaboration with Intel and Microsoft.[11]

In May 2016, iBall in a strategic partnership with Intel and Microsoft claimed to have launched India's most affordable Windows 10 Laptop - iBall CompBook at ₹9,999.[12][13]
