Make more in India
21-Aug-2026
Google is reportedly planning to move the production of its Pixel smartphones, smartwatches, and wireless earbuds out of China from 2027. The move is hardly surprising: persistent US-China tensions are prompting technology majors to diversify their supply chains and reduce their dependence on one country. Vietnam and India are expected to be the principal beneficiaries, although Vietnam has an early advantage.
Google already has a well-established supplier network there and has reportedly begun developing and manufacturing its high-end Pixel smartphones in the country. This is an opportunity India can’t afford to miss. Admittedly, India cannot yet boast of a manufacturing ecosystem as large or sophisticated as China’s. Nor does it possess Vietnam’s product-development and design capabilities or its Samsung-led network of smartphone suppliers, engineers, and factories. But these gaps are precisely what India must now work to close.
