Apple, the technology giant, has officially announced the opening of its first-ever flagship retail store in Mumbai, India. The store, called “Apple BKC,” is located at Jio World Drive Mall and will open its doors later this month.
The store’s design is inspired by Mumbai’s popular “Kaali Peeli” taxis, and the creative will include interpretations of the decals combined with many Apple products and services that will be available for customers.
In celebration of the opening, visitors can download the new Apple BKC wallpaper and enjoy a specially curated playlist on Apple Music featuring sounds of Mumbai.
Customers will have the option to exchange their Apple devices and get credit towards the next purchase at the store. Additionally, they will receive Apple Store Gift Cards for purchasing products from the store. The store will also feature a Genius Bar where customers can get expert service and support.
Apple’s “Make in India” initiative has performed well, with the company’s value share growing to 25% in 2022, up from 12% in 2021. Apple’s EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) partners, Foxconn Hon Hai and Wistron, were among the fastest-growing manufacturers among the top 10 in Q4 2022.
With the opening of its first retail store in India, Apple is expected to make a significant impact on the country’s tech industry and provide a great shopping experience for Apple fans in Mumbai.
