Google, on Monday, announced that the company will be rolling out its Made-in-India Pixel 8 smartphones in the country. The announcement came via a post on X (formerly Twitter) where the company is excited to share that the first Made in India Google Pixel 8 devices have started rolling off the production lines. Google also thanked Minister of Information and Broadcasting of India, Ashwini Vaishnaw, for his partnership in bringing the Pixel experience to people across India.
