Apple opening its first retail store in India, showcasing high-end products and a unique design for public events
As the most valuable tech firm in the world accelerates its expansion and focuses on premium items to maintain its exclusive image in the nation, Apple will soon build its first retail location in India.
Although the official launch date has not yet been declared, the Cupertino, California-based business shared a photo on Wednesday of the barricade surrounding its retail location in Mumbai, the financial center of India. The Jio World Drive mall, owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, will soon house the first Apple Store. In addition, Apple is constructing its second retail location, which will open soon in Delhi.
At a time when sales of Apple goods, particularly the iPhone, have exploded in India, the corporation is opening an Apple Store there. Apple has a lot of room to develop in the premium smartphone market because India is the world’s second-largest market for smartphones. Recently, Cupertino has also increased the size of its Indian manufacturing facilities. In well-known international locations including New York, Dubai, London, and Tokyo, Apple has more than 500 outlets. Every store has undergone a renovation to “feel like a town square” and serve as a venue for public activities. In addition to a giant “video wall” that is used for interactive sessions and at Apple events, Apple Stores are renowned for their canopy of trees.
According to a Bloomberg article, the introduction shows Apple’s efforts to grow in South Asia, which is expected to surpass China as the world’s most populated country this year. The country’s burgeoning middle class makes it an appealing market for the company’s pricy smartphones and laptops, and Apple is also strengthening its manufacturing presence there.
