Apple just released a teaser video for its upcoming shop opening in India. Jio World Drive, a shopping centre in Mumbai, will be the site of the store. Take a look.
Apple BKC will be Apple’s first retail outlet in India, and the company has officially stated its plans to do so. Apple’s plans to open a retail store in India, which have been discussed for years, are finally moving forward. Apple’s first Indian retail store, Apple BKC, is set to debut in Mumbai’s Jio World Drive Mall later this month.
Apple’s BKC shop design was influenced by the colourful Kaali Peeli taxi murals found only in Mumbai. The colourful depictions of the stickers blend images of the many Apple products and services that visitors will be able to use. A friendly ‘Hey Mumbai!’ and the standard Apple greeting greet passers-by in the store’s window displays.
A new Apple BKC wallpaper and Apple Music playlist are available to celebrate the opening of Apple’s first store in India.
After the April opening of the BKC store, rumours have circulated that Apple had plans to open a second store in New Delhi. As soon as next month, we may get confirmation that the New Delhi store will be placed in the bustling Pick Citywalk Mall in Saket. The store’s reported size in New Delhi is over 10,000 square feet.
Apple recently announced that its sales in India had hit yet another record high. In a February interview, Apple CEO Tim Cook stated, “We’re pleased with how things turned out. We achieved our highest-ever quarterly revenue, growing by double digits year over year.”
Apple had an 18% boost in sales to 2 million iPhones in India during the holiday-heavy fourth quarter of 2022. (quarter over quarter).
By 2022, the iPhone’s share of the Indian market will have risen from 5% in 2018 to 5.5%.
