Google's Own Retail Stores Coming To India


Bangalore: In a move to increase the penetration of android devices in India, the global leader in mobile platform, Google is set to launch its own store fronts ‘Android Nation’ in India, reports Economic Times.

Though Indians are shopping like crazy online, the latest move by Google to open up its own brick and mortor stores in India may let the other population who like to shop “go and grab it” way. It may also make the search giant to release its latest products in the country, giving the priority which was not seen here before.

Google is to partner with BK Modi's Spice Global to set up the stores in various Indian cities, starting with New Delhi later this year. And the only other country Google has set up its Android Nation stores is in Indonesia. The store was opened in Jakarta in mid 2012. The company now operates two such stores in Jakarta in partnership with Indonesian electronics retailer Erafone.
