Google planning to open brick-and-mortar store in India
Alphabet is planning to open a Google-branded brick-and-mortar store in India to sell a gamut of Google’s products and showcase it as an experience centre in the country. Google is looking at New Delhi and Mumbai for possible locations of its first store in India. The country is increasingly becoming an important market for the tech giant.
According to a news source, a team of Google executives came to India from the US last week. The team consisting of four-five senior management members visited New Delhi and Mumbai as part of their India study for the store opening.
Google already has its outlets in major US cities including New York and Mountain View in California. The store showcases an array of Google products ranging from Pixel phones to Nest products, Fitbit devices to Pixelbooks among other items. As of now, Google only brings a limited number of its products in India but the idea of opening a new store in India suggests that Google may be planning to bet big on the country.
India is one of the most thriving markets for smartphones, tablets, wearables, and various other commodities.
