Dyson plans to enter India with its range of patented products next year

KOLKATA: UK-based consumer electronics maker Dyson plans to enter India with its range of patented products next year and has already applied for a business license, a press release said. Dyson plans to open flagship stores in major cities, including New Delhi and Mumbai, and partner with leading retailers to sell its products.

"Dyson intends to make its patented technology available in India for the first time, and build a strong partnership with India which goes beyond our products. India is a very practical, resourceful and inventive nation: these are talents and attitudes that I value above all others,” said Sir James Dyson, the billionaire British engineer and entrepreneur who is famous for inventing the cyclonic bagless vacuum cleaner.

Dyson also hopes to contribute to India’s significant engineering community through the work of The James DysonFoundation - a charity that supports design, technology and engineering education.

Headquartered in Malmesbury, UK, Dyson is a family-owned global technology company which employs over 7,000 people globally - a third of who are engineers and scientists. Dyson invests £5 million per week into R&D and has over 200 live technology projects and 50 active research programmes with 40 universities around the world.
