London-based consumer technology brand Nothing has announced that their upcoming smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3), will be manufactured in India to cater to the demands of the Indian market.
Local Manufacturing and Employment
This follows the Phone (1), Phone (2) and CMF phones which were also made in India at a Nothing’s manufacturing facility near Chennai. This facility currently employs over 500 individuals, with 95% of the workforce being women.
Nothing states that by localizing the production of key products, it aims to improve efficiency, reduce lead times, and enhance responsiveness to market demand.
Expanding Post-Sales Support and Retail Presence
Nothing is also working to strengthen its post-sales support network within India. The company currently operates five exclusive service centers in Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai. Additionally, there are 20 priority desks in operation, with plans to add 10 more in the near future. The company’s network also includes over 330 authorized service centers, a number that is reportedly increasing. These measures are intended to improve the customer experience and provide timely support across various regions.
Furthermore, Nothing’s retail footprint has expanded from 2,000 stores at the beginning of the previous year to 10,000 stores currently. This expansion is positioned as a move to solidify Nothing’s role in the Indian smartphone market.
Global Design, Local Production
The Nothing Phone (3) is described as being “Designed in London and manufactured in India.” This approach is presented as a reflection of the company’s commitment to combining international design with local production.
This announcement is highlighted as a further step in Nothing’s growth within India, signaling its long-term objective of establishing a more robust presence in what is characterized as a dynamic smartphone market.
Commenting on this, Akis Evangelidis, Co-Founder and India President, said:
India has been an important market for us ever since the very beginning of Nothing. Every one of our smartphones has been manufactured here — and Phone (3) proudly joins that list. As we accelerate our growth here, we’re doubling down on our investment in local manufacturing, talent, and innovation — fully aligned with the Make in India vision. Phone (3) marks a major milestone: our first true flagship, delivering the very best of Nothing. We can’t wait for our Indian users to experience it.
