| Motorola has spent over two years deeply engaged in a global research and development effort around the new retail concept, and as a result has come up with an approach that is centred around the consumer and live experiences. As part of this program, Motorola has opened MOTOSTORE and MOTOSTORE formats in key locations around the world including Europe, Asia Pacific, North and Latin America. |
| The new stores further cement Motorola's long term retail commitment to India, which now includes a MOTOSTORE presence in six cities as well as over 30 Shop-in-Shop installations across the country.
