Sportswear brand PUMA has launched its official mobile shopping app in India in order to further enhance its digital offerings for consumers and to provide them with quicker access to its latest products and exclusive services. India is the first country to go live with the PUMA app developed by the German sportswear giant.
“I am very proud to launch our PUMA app in India first,” said PUMA CEO Bjørn Gulden. “India is a very important market for us and our local team has done an outstanding job in establishing PUMA as the Number 1 sports brand in the country. Given that India is a very digital-savvy market where eCommerce has high penetration, we felt it natural to launch the app here first. It will then be rolled out globally during the year,” added Bjørn.
Abhishek Ganguly, Managing Director, PUMA India and Southeast Asia, said, “With the launch of the PUMA app, we will offer our consumers a faster, seamless and convenient digital shopping experience. The app is powered with multiple technology-led features and that will enhance user experience.”
“We, at PUMA, believe in consistently connecting our consumers with our products in an experiential manner. PUMA was the first brand in India to realise the potential of ecommerce and had launched its online shopping platform in 2016. Now with this app, we are ready to take the shopping experience to the next level and engage with consumers more closely with the help of interactive features,” added Ganguly.
Ace cricketer and PUMA brand ambassador Virat Kohli took part in launching the app in India by making an official announcement across his social media handles.
Commenting on the occasion, Virat Kohli said, “PUMA and I share an incredible relationship. Having built a brand with them, I truly appreciate the effort PUMA takes to serve its customers better. With the launch of this app, I am kicked about the easy access the consumers will have to PUMA and its offerings. Now, one will never be left behind. All access at a click only on the PUMA app.”
