Alphabet's (GOOGL, $1,073.73) Google Shopping Wants To Woo India's Burgeoning Online Market

Alphabet's (GOOGL, $1,073.73) Google Shopping Wants To Woo India's Burgeoning Online Market

Alphabet’s Google launched Google Shopping in India on Thursday. And with it, some exclusive features too.

Google Shopping can be accessed through a new shopping tab within Google Search and using Google Lens, the latter being an image recognition app which allows users to photograph products to get more information about them. The shopping platform is already available in 35 countries, but India is the first one in the world to get a separate shopping homepage on Google. Also, India’s shoppers would have the choice to search for products in English and Hindi on the shopping app. Google Shopping will list products from Amazon, Flipkart and other retailers instead of selling any itself (as reported by CNN, citing a company spokesperson).

Google’s Merchant Center, where retailers can upload product details, will be available in Hindi (in addition to English) in India –the first nation to have an alternative language option on the particular webpage.

"More than 40 million Indians are coming online every year, and search is an integral part of their online journey," Surojit Chatterjee, Google's vice president for product management, said in a statement. As of now, Walmart subsidiary Flipkart accounts for an estimated 40% of India's e-commerce market, while Amazon has about 32% share, as revealed by some reports.

The deal values National Storage Affiliates at an implied price of about $41.68 per share, representing a substantial premium to its prior closing price near the low-$30s.
Shares of NBIS jumped roughly 12% in premarket trading after a sharp rally in the prior regular session. The latest leg of the price rally follows news of a multibillion‑dollar, long‑term AI infrastructure agreement with Meta Platforms that expands Nebius’s cloud capacity commitments.
Micron Technology’s common stock MU (MU) rose 5.13% in the latest completed session, closing at 426.13 dollars versus 405.35 dollars previously. The move appears driven by continued enthusiasm around Micron’s role as a key memory supplier to artificial intelligence and data center markets, supporting an earnings-driven re‑rating of the stock.
IperionX Limited (IPX) is down about 15.57% in early trading on March 16, with shares recently changing hands near 29.44 dollars versus a previous close of 34.87 dollars. The drop extends a post‑earnings selloff after the company’s March 12 results highlighted continued losses and substantial funding needs to scale its titanium operations.
Shares of CTMX surged roughly 56% in the latest session, staging a sharp intraday price rally from the prior close. The move appears driven by earnings-related positioning and growing optimism around CytomX’s PROBODY therapeutic platform and late‑stage oncology pipeline.
Hyperliquid Strategies Inc (PURR) shares jumped about 15% in the latest session, extending a multi-week price rally tied to digital-asset exposure. The move comes as traders bid up proxy plays on the Hyperliquid ecosystem and HYPE token, with renewed risk appetite in crypto-related assets.
VIA fell over 11% today, extending a slide that began last week; the stock has been under pressure since trading around the high‑teens and low‑$20s, well below its $46 IPO price.
LAES fell more than 19% today as the market digested a $125 million registered direct offering of 30.4 million new shares (or pre‑funded warrants) plus warrants for up to 60.8 million additional shares, all priced at $4.11 per unit.
Shares of ALDX are down about 73.02% in premarket trading, plunging from a prior close near 4.13 dollars to roughly 1.11 dollars after a major regulatory setback. The collapse follows fresh confirmation that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has again declined to approve reproxalap for dry eye disease, issuing another Complete Response Letter that questions efficacy.

Solaris Energy Infrastructure’s stock SEI jumped roughly 13% in today’s session, extending a sharp recent rebound from early-March lows.

Shares of LMND are trading approximately +10% higher intraday on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, rising from a prior close of $57.74 to around $63.51. Primary catalyst: Morgan Stanley upgraded LMND to an 'Overweight' rating and raised its price target to $85 from $80.
Shares of ICHR surged approximately +15% intraday on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, trading near $48.98 versus a prior closing price of $42.59.

NBIS shares are down approximately 10.00% in Tuesday's session, falling from a prior close of $129.85 to around $116.87. The primary catalyst is Nebius Group's pre-market announcement of a proposed $3.75 billion convertible senior notes offering, sparking dilution concerns.

CWCO fell over 9% today, trading around the low‑$31 range versus recent levels in the mid‑$30s to near $39, as the market reacted negatively to Q4 2025 results and forward commentary.
