Just visited our manufacturing facility in Chennai and here are my reflections
1. Big improvement from last year. Completely redone facilities with major improvements in cleanliness, security, and processes.
2. Making transparent tech is super hard. Let me just mention a few…

His keen interest in the Indian market and export shows his awareness and optimism in the Indian market. In the comment section, Carl informed us that a documentary kind of video will soon be released showing the work at the Chennai manufacturing unit. Nothing Phone(2) will be launched on July 11th, 2023, in India and other global markets. And Nothing Phone(2) will be made in India. When the earlier Nothing Phone(1) came on the market, speculations were hovering that Nothing Phone(1) will be manufactured in India but it didn’t happen.
