Smartphone manufacturer Apple accelerated its plans to open retail stores in India, with the flagship Apple Stores expected to open within weeks.
According to the Indian Express, up to two new stores – one in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex and one in Delhi’s Saket – could open in a matter of weeks. This comes on the heels of Apple posting various job openings for local talent at its retail stores in India. Apple has announced 12 job roles including technical specialist, business expert, senior manager, store leader and ‘genius’. At the end of December 2022, Apple held only 3.54% of the total Indian smartphone market, in which it competes with Samsung, Xiaomi, and Google.
