Consumer durables brand, LG Electronics, has partnered with Paytm Mall to bring its 650 brand stores online, marking the Korean firm’s entry into online sales in India.

In this arrangement, Paytm Mall will provide an online platform for consumers to visit and select LG products and the brand stores will deliver and install them.

Amit Sinha, Chief Operating Officer, Paytm Mall, said, "The firm wants to support brands to leverage their existing offline distribution to cater to a larger audience which prefers buying from their trusted nearby shops."

Consumers get the benefit of buying products from their local trusted shops while also getting same day or next day delivery.
