Hangout and Shop with Hrithik Roshan on Google+ and Myntra.com

Myntra.com is hosting Asia’s first ever ‘Google+ Shoppable Hangout’, on January 20, with none other than Bollywood heart-throb Hrithik Roshan. The event will mark the Asia debut of a new online shopping app for the Google+ Hangouts On Air (HOA) platform.

Google+ Shoppable Hangout On Air brings together social media and online shopping in an unprecedented experience. It enables up to 10 people to interact with each other on a multi-person video chat that is broadcast live to millions around the web, while also allowing all the viewers to simultaneously shop, chat and comment.


On this Hangout, designers or retailers can publicly broadcast a multi-person video chat about their products while customers simultaneously browse a curated selection of products available for purchase online, exclusively through the HOA. The Shoppable Hangout will provide users with a brand new online shopping experience which will be like shopping Hrithik’s clothing line with him at your side, except from participants’ living rooms.

Participants can browse to shop a curated assortment of products from the newly launched collection hosted on Myntra.com. The Shoppable Hangout featuring Hrithik will showcase his clothing line, HRX, and will allow fans to shop and chat with Hrithik online. HRX is an active lifestyle apparel and casual wear brand inspired by Hrithik Roshan, and is manufactured and sold exclusively on Myntra.com.
