The new store is equipped with advanced technology to provide a seamless shopping experience for customer in India.
All Mango stores in the country will feature integrated inventory and the concept of ‘Endless Aisle’, enabling customers to browse the Mango collection on a tablet, check out product details and availability and have goods from other stores delivered to their doorstep.
