Why Gurugram and Hyderabad Make Sense
Gurugram already hosts Apple’s corporate office at One Horizon Center on Golf Course Road, supporting enterprise sales and business development teams. The city’s affluent consumer base and proximity to Delhi NCR make it a natural choice for Apple’s next retail expansion.
Hyderabad represents Apple’s largest talent hub in India since 2016, with the company recently leasing an additional 64,125 square feet of office space at WaveRock Tower. This expanded commitment, combined with the city’s growing tech ecosystem and premium consumer market, positions it as a prime retail location.
Apple captured 7% of India’s smartphone market in Q2 2025 with strong double-digit growth, driven by premium segment dominance. In the premium category above ₹50,000, Apple’s market share grew 54% year-over-year, validating the company’s retail expansion strategy.
The Noida store opening on December 11 demonstrates Apple’s momentum, with additional locations in Mumbai’s Borivali also reportedly under consideration.
