Nothing, the London-based consumer technology company known for its design-forward smartphones, audio devices and wearable tech, is preparing to open its first flagship retail store in India marking a strategic expansion of its global retail footprint. The store is scheduled to open in Bengaluru on February 14, 2026, and will serve as the brand’s second flagship outlet worldwide, following its Soho flagship in London. The Bengaluru flagship store is designed to be an immersive experiential space where consumers can interact directly with Nothing’s products, including smartphones, TWS earbuds, smartwatches and other devices. Unlike traditional retail, this store aims to bring Nothing’s design philosophy and product ecosystem to life in a physical environment, allowing customers to try products hands-on and understand the brand beyond online catalogues. This move reflects Nothing’s shift from online-first distribution toward a stronger offline presence, a strategy increasingly adopted by consumer tech brands seeking deeper engagement with buyers, particularly in markets where “touch and feel” remains a key part of purchase decisions. India, with its booming smartphone market and tech-savvy youthful population, has become one of Nothing’s most important global markets. Nothing has recently achieved unicorn status with a valuation above USD 1.3 billion following successful funding rounds and strong product sales. The company has shipped millions of devices globally, and India has been a high-growth region for the brand, consistently ranking among its top markets. In addition to the flagship store, Nothing has been expanding its service and distribution network across India, including exclusive service centres and partnerships with major retail channels. Its products have been manufactured locally including at Chennai facilities aligning Nothing’s operational footprint with India’s manufacturing ecosystem and Make in India vision.
