The first domino? OnePlus might be closing offline sales in key market.

OnePlus India just announced that device owners would be able to use OPPO service centers from April. This news coincidentally comes after a report that the company could exit global markets as soon as next month. It now sounds like OnePlus is making a massive retail change in India.

Unnamed sources told Moneycontrol that OnePlus India plans to effectively shut down offline retail operations as part of a shift to an online-first business model. The manufacturer has apparently asked partner-run exclusive stores to shut down. It’s believed that only three company-owned stores might remain in business.
