To serve the growing popularity of Apple in India, CEO Tim Cook inaugurates the Apple BKC store
Apple fans in India have long been waiting for this exciting development, and the company has finally opened its first store today seeing the potential rise of customers.
If you ask about Apple BKC only, Tim Cook didn’t cheap out on the store, giving it a flagship experience with features like 100% Renewable Energy, 1000 Handcrafted Timber tiles for the Ceiling, 100 team members who collectively speak 20 languages and Stone walls from Rajasthan, Stainless Steel Staircase, & more.
Until now, premium resellers had their stores across India but Apple with its own retail store, and online model, surely looks to capture the growing Indian smartphone market with Tim Cook.
These stores will be the largest Apple stores in India, spanning over 20,000 square feet each. They are designed to provide customers with a world-class shopping experience, featuring innovative product displays and a team of Apple experts to offer personalized assistance and advice.
The opening of these stores marks a significant milestone for Apple in India, as the country has been a challenging market for foreign companies due to strict regulations. However, Apple’s decision to expand its physical retail presence in India demonstrates the company’s commitment to the Indian market and belief in its potential for growth.
The move will undoubtedly be welcomed by Apple fans in India, who will now have the opportunity to experience Apple’s products and services firsthand in the country. Many Bollywood stars like Rakul Preet Singh and more visited the store on the launch day itself.
