Audio and wearables brand boAt on Thursday, 15 October 2026, announced its entry into Sri Lanka and Bhutan with personal audio products, smartwatches and charging solutions. The company's international revenue more than doubled in FY26.

CEO Gaurav Nayyar said the expansion is about understanding local consumers and building relevance market by market. The company plans to deepen its presence in existing international markets while evaluating new geographies across South Asia, Southeast Asia, the GCC and other high-potential markets.
Both Business Standard and The Economic Times carry identical wire copy, so coverage is uniform straight reporting. Neither outlet adds commentary, attributes any criticism, or embeds the announcement in a wider competitive or regulatory context. The repetition of the same CEO quote and the same forward-looking language in both versions leaves the reader with only the company's own framing. A balanced reading therefore treats the announcement as a verified company statement rather than an independently vetted milestone. The next concrete test for boAt will be whether it follows through on its stated plan to deepen presence in existing markets and evaluate new geographies across South Asia, the GCC and Southeast Asia.
