Google Shopping launched in India. Here's all about it
Internet giant, Google has announced the launch of its own shopping portal in India. Simply named as Google Shopping, it is more of an aggregator. This means that the site lists deals from all e-commerce retailers such as Flipkart, Amazon, Shopclues, Club Factory, Snapdeal and even from lesser known ones such as Shein.
'Google Shopping'
'Google Shopping' allow users to filter through offers, review prices from multiple retailers and find products that they are looking for.
The personalised experience will be available across various Google products -- a Shopping home page, Shopping tab on Google Search and through Google Lens. Customers will be able to see trending products across different categories, various deals, and compare prices using the new offering.
For retailers, the company will offer its 'Merchant Center' in Hindi, which will allow the sellers to list their products for Google Shopping, without paying for ad campaigns.
Google Shopping will be a connector between retailers and consumers, and the transaction and delivery of products will be handled by the merchant.
Google said it aims to support the entire retail ecosystem -- from shopping sites and large retailers to small local shops, by giving them access to the tools, technology, and scale to thrive in the new digital economy.
Merchants will not have to pay any fee for listing their products for Google Shopping, Google added.
Under the Shopping tab in Google Search, users can search for products and see prices from across multiple retailers. The 'Style Search' option in Google Lens will allow users to find products such as clothes, furniture, and home decor, by simply pointing the Lens app from their smartphones.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
