‘Nothing’ opens first India flagship store in Bengaluru, signals long-term bet on market

Nothing opens first India flagship store in Bengaluru, signals long-term bet on market

Bengaluru, February 14, 2026: London-based consumer technology brand Nothing on Friday opened its first flagship store in India, choosing Bengaluru as the launchpad for its physical retail journey in the country. The store was inaugurated by CEO Carl Pei along with co-founder and India President Akis Evangelidis, underlining the company’s growing focus on the Indian market.

Spread across 5,032 sq ft, the new flagship brings together the full range of Nothing and CMF products, along with official merchandise such as apparel. More than a retail outlet, the space is positioned as a community hub designed to encourage hands-on exploration, interaction and storytelling around the brand.

The store’s design reflects Nothing’s unconventional philosophy, drawing inspiration from the retro-futuristic assembly lines of the 1970s. With exposed concrete, aluminium, steel and glass, the space embraces raw materials and visible structures, reinforcing the brand’s emphasis on transparency—both in design and intent.

“This flagship is a major milestone for us in India,” said Evangelidis. “We didn’t want to create a traditional retail store. Our aim was to build a space where people can experience our products, understand our design thinking, and form a deeper connection with the brand. Indian consumers value physical interaction and design-led innovation, and this store allows us to engage with them more meaningfully.”

Beyond product displays, the store features several experience-led elements, including a creator studio for content shoots, location-exclusive customised products, interactive installations such as vending machines and claw games, and conveyor-belt style product showcases. A dedicated community area for events and casual meet-ups, along with complimentary refreshments, adds to the immersive experience.

Located on 100 Feet Road in Indiranagar, the Bengaluru store is part of Nothing’s expanding global retail presence, following its London outlet in Soho and ahead of planned launches in New York and Tokyo. The store will be open daily from 11 am to 9 pm.
The launch comes at a time when Nothing has been gaining strong traction in India. According to Counterpoint Research, the brand has emerged as the fastest-growing smartphone company in the country in seven of the last eight quarters, driven by its community-led approach, distinctive design language and focus on long-term brand building.

Bengaluru emerges as a strategic hub in Malaysia’s India tourism roadmap

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Tourism Malaysia Sales Mission 2026 held in Bengaluru, eyes 2.1 million Indian visitors

Bengaluru reaffirmed its position as a key outbound travel hub as Tourism Malaysia successfully hosted its Sales Mission 2026 in the city on February 13. The event, held at Shangri-La Bengaluru in partnership with the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents, brought together 49 tourism sellers from Malaysia and leading travel trade partners from Bengaluru and across Karnataka.

The mission was led by Tourism Malaysia Chairman Datuk Manoharan Periasamy, along with senior officials, underlining Malaysia’s continued focus on strengthening its footprint in South India. India remains one of Malaysia’s most important source markets, recording over 1.56 million tourist arrivals in 2025 — a 14.6% increase over the previous year. With Visit Malaysia Year 2026 on the horizon, Malaysia is targeting 2.1 million visitors from India.

Strong air connectivity continues to drive this growth, with 238 weekly direct flights operating between the two countries, including significant capacity from South Indian cities. Officials noted that enhanced connectivity has made Malaysia an increasingly accessible destination for Indian travellers.

The Consulate General of Malaysia in Chennai reiterated its support for tourism promotion initiatives across South India, highlighting tourism as a vital pillar of Malaysia–India relations. Industry networking programmes such as the sales mission were described as crucial in deepening trade partnerships and people-to-people ties.

The Bengaluru event also highlighted Malaysia’s diverse tourism offerings — from leisure and family holidays to culture, nature, MICE and wedding tourism. The mission was supported by Batik Air as the official airline partner, further strengthening travel links between India and Malaysia.
