The commercial launch of the watches are expected by Diwali. They may be priced under Rs 7,000 ($150). This smart watch project has been christened as ‘Sanketh’, and has already spent close to $1 million in R&D over the last two years. [Titan has also picked up 5 per cent stake in Innoviti Solutions]
