The blog post reads, "As with our current launch countries, Indian users will be able to purchase the One with an India specific invite." It further reads, "Invites have been immensely helpful for us thus far in our current launch countries. They allow us to control our inventory, scale our team and support services to grow along with demand and create an overall better experience for those users with the One. As this is our first experience with the Indian market, we didn't want to be too ambitious."

It should be noted that the OnePlus One will be up for pre-orders in international markets from Monday. Thus, to order the handset, users can visit the dedicated pre-order website. Notably, users would need to create a OnePlus account before pre-ordering the OnePlus One.
