Local inventory feeds are a game-changer for retail businesses, and we are excited to launch this initiative in India."

Fynd’s integration significantly accelerates the verification process for retailers and offers direct support, making it easier for them to utilize Google's tools. Retailers now have an efficient way to improve brand visibility and drive sales through hyperlocal advertising.

This integration leverages Fynd's technology and extensive retail network to help Indian retailers provide customers with a seamless, integrated shopping experience through Google search results.
