Palmonas Expands Physical Retail Presence as IndiaAI Faces GPU Shortage

Demi-fine jewellery brand Palmonas is expanding its presence into physical retail stores, according to cofounder Pallavi Mohadikar. This development comes as the broader technology sector in the country navigates a severe shortage of graphics processing units, commonly known as GPUs, affecting the IndiaAI initiative. ## Context Physical retail expansion allows direct-to-consumer brands to build deeper customer trust and reach shoppers who prefer to try products in person before purchasing.
