Flipkart, one of India’s leading e-commerce platforms, has announced an exclusive partnership with a leading consumer technology brand, Pebble, for the launch of the Pebble HALO Smart Ring. Pebble’s new launch, the smart ring, is a first of its kind with a digital display and gesture controls.
This collaboration brings together the global scale and distribution strength of Flipkart with the product innovations of a homegrown lifestyle tech company, making smart wearable technology easily available to Indian consumers.
On this partnership, Komal Agarwal, co-founder of Pebble, said, “Pebble’s vision has always been to make technology less intrusive and more intuitive. As a homegrown brand, we’re proud to collaborate with a platform like Flipkart to take this vision to a national scale. HALO reflects our continued effort to design smart wearables that align with Indian users’ habits, values, and expectations.”
With the recent launch of HALO, Pebble has taken a significant step in its 2.0 roadmap, aiming to expand beyond smartwatches in the broader wearables segment. Engineered from stainless steel with a splashproof design, the smart ring functions independently, displaying time, heart rate, step count, and battery level directly on the ring’s surface, without requiring constant smartphone connectivity.
It also introduces gesture-based controls, allowing users to scroll through social media apps like Instagram and YouTube, turn e-book pages, control the camera, and interact with selected functions—all through simple finger movements. HALO also includes a discreet chanting counter embedded into its interface for spiritual and meditative activities.
The ring offers up to four days of battery life on a single charge. It is available in three colours black, silver, and gold and comes in multiple sizes ranging from 7 to 12, ensuring a comfortable fit for a broad range of users.
