Google begins direct sales of Pixel devices in India via official online Google Store

Launching direct online purchasing from the India Google Store is primarily driven by the dynamic and evolving Indian smartphone market, says Mitul Shah, MD of Devices and Services at Google India

New Delhi: Google on Thursday launched direct sales of its Pixel devices through the official online Google Store in India, allowing consumers to purchase smartphones, watches, buds, and accessories directly for the first time.

This will complement Google’s existing online and offline retail footprint, a company statement said.

Managing Director of Devices and Services at Google India, Mitul Shah, said launching direct online purchasing from the India Google Store is primarily driven by the “dynamic and evolving” Indian smartphone market.

“Direct online purchasing from the Google Store in India complements our already robust retail presence – both online and in physical stores, along with our partners – all aimed at providing choice and meeting our users where they are. We will continue to invest across all fronts, focusing on expanding retail availability, strengthening customer support, and ensuring attractive affordability options,” he said.

Shah, however, did not provide a timeline on when Google will open its own physical stores in India.

“India remains a strategic focus and key market for Pixel. With a strategy squarely focused on empowering Indians with AI-powered devices, we are firing on all cylinders,” he added.

This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
