Talking about the launch, Vineet Taneja, CEO, Micromax said:

The Canvas Spark proved to be a huge success for Micromax, selling over half a million units in less than two months of its launch. With the Canvas Spark 2, we are yet again reaffirming our commitment to massify the smartphone and Internet usage in the country. Currently, smartphone penetration stands at 12% in the country and 3G adoption is also barely 10%, which presents a huge opportunity to upgrade. We believe that the e-commerce channel is also expanding and the 3-4K category will be the next frontier. Micromax with its strong brand presence and great product offering focused on democratizing technology, has historically cemented itself as the most preferred brand for the mass smartphone segment. With this launch, we are looking at adding a further impetus to this and drive the overall entry into smartphone category.

The Canvas Spark 2 comes with apps like First touch language solution, Kindle, Scandid, Hotstar, Clean Master, SwiftKey, Snapdeal, Scandid and many other apps which are pre-installed. With the 4G enabled smartphones being sold below Rs. 5,000 Micromax is calling this smartphone the most affordable 3G enabled 5-inch display smartphone running on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop in the market.
