Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, today announced the launch of ‘Made-in-India’ Nokia air conditioners – marking the global technology brand’s entry into the home appliances segment.

The range will be priced starting Rs. 30,999 and will be available on Flipkart from December 29, 2020.
With people increasingly spending more time at home – healthy air, clement temperatures, seamless smart technology, and customized cooling become vital factors that influence the purchase decisions for consumers. The Nokia range of air conditioners ensures that these consumer needs are met. The Nokia air conditioners include many unique features including Adjustable Inverter mode, environment-friendly R-32 refrigerant, Intelligent motion sensors and wi-fi connected Smart climate control, and ensures that these air conditioners offer an experience that goes beyond cooling.

Over the course of last year, we have launched superior products, at the back of our extensive consumer understanding, to bring offerings that are customized for the needs of Indian consumers. Smart home appliances have paved their way into households that ask for ‘more’ from their devices, and hence with this latest launch of Nokia air conditioners we wanted to bring innovation beyond just cooling – to give both multifunctional and environmentally friendly experience to consumers.”
Vipul Mehrotra, Vice President, Nokia Brand Partnerships, said, “Bringing the Nokia brand into the smart home appliance category with Flipkart in India is another milestone in our strategic relationship.
