Google's Own Retail Stores Coming To India


Android Nations, besides selling the Android based Smartphones and tablets across multiple brands like Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG and Asus; will also serve as an Android experience centre where customers can find out more about the latest Android apps, get help from experts, download software updates or check out the latest accessories for their devices.

The first Indian store will open in New Delhi's Select Citywalk, and Google is said to be scouting for a 1,200-1,500 sq ft location for this store.

BK Modi, chairman of Spice, told ET that his company's partnership with Google is not just restricted to India — Spice Global will also push Android devices in the Middle East, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Africa. He said Google is also supporting Spice Global in bringing China's third largest smartphone brand CoolPad, to India — Spice CoolPad co-branded products will also be sold through Android Nation.
