Apple Will Open Its First India Store In Mumbai

The Bandra-Kurla Complex in Mumbai is where Apple Inc. plans to set up a store for the first time in India. "Hello Mumbai. We are getting ready to welcome you aboard our first store in India. And raring to see where your creativity takes you at Apple BKC,"  According to the company's website.

According to the company, the location would be on Jio World Drive in BKC. The iPhone's manufacturer has also made a Mumbai-themed wallpaper and lockscreen available for download by customers.

In honour of the opening of the new store, the iPhone manufacturer also offers consumers the chance to download a wallpaper with a Mumbai theme and listen to a playlist assembled in Mumbai.

The launch fits with the company's strategy to build a key industrial base while simultaneously expanding its operations in India.

Nikkei Asia revealed Last year that Apple has requested suppliers relocate the first-ever portion of AirPods and Beats headphone manufacture to India.

According to the report, the corporation is attempting to shift the production to India as part of its "gradual diversification" from China, looking to lower the risk of supply-chain disruptions stemming from the country's strict zero-Covid policy and tensions with the U.S.,

The next Apple store in New Delhi?

Prior to the opening of the Mumbai store, rumours suggested that Apple will also be building a new store in New Delhi. We might hear more about the New Delhi retail store as early as next month. It is anticipated that it would be situated in the well-known Select Citywalk Mall in Saket. The New Delhi store would reportedly be larger than 10,000 square feet, according to reports.

It is past due for Apple to create physical stores in India. Customers in India previously had the option of purchasing Apple goods via resellers or the company's own website. The official Apple stores, on the other hand, continue to stand out and draw a lot of customers. The fact that Apple is finally opening physical stores in India is certainly exciting.

The corporation organises regular "Today at Apple" sessions at its locations across the world in addition to selling its products. These sessions are typically held in association with content creators to inform consumers about how to use Apple products to create cutting-edge content. At the India Art Fair that was held in New Delhi this year, the company in India hosted the "Today At Apple" event.

India is a significant market for Apple, and prior rumours stated that the company is eager to transfer its emphasis there in order to see more growth. Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, had also stated that India is a 'hugely exciting market' for Apple and is a 'major focus'. at a meeting.
