Apple is one of the leading tech giants that enjoys a massive share in the mobile devices sector. No words can describe the craze Apple products have among customers. Apple users eagerly wait for new products to arrive in the market. Many see Apple devices like iPhones and iPads as status symbol. Apple devices are among the most costly devices.
India is one of the largest markets for Apple and the company has many customers in the country. Following this, Apple opened its first retail store in India in Mumbai. Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook came to Mumbai for the inauguration. He expressed his happiness looking at the energy in Mumbai.
The other day, Tim Cook was introduced to the famous Mumbai street food Vada Pav. Veteran Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit introduced the snack to Vada Pav and he loved it. Tim Cook also met other Bollywood stars like Raveena Tandon, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Mouni Roy, Neha Dhupia, Armaan Malik, and others.
But what caught everyone’s attention was the crowd at the store. As the first retail store of Apple was opened in Mumbai, people gathered in big numbers. People were spotted standing in long queues outside the store.
Usually, we see such long queues when new producers from Apple hit the market. But as a rare sight, people stood in long queues outside the mall. It appears that the customers wanted to enjoy the services first compared to others. Being the first to experience the services would also give a new experience and this might have made people gather in big numbers.
The retail store was opened at the Jio World Mall at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. The area saw huge traffic due to the launch of a retail store of Apple in India.
The new store marks a big step in Apple’s efforts to cater to customers here. Due to various reasons, Apple is slowly expanding its manufacturing units in India. In a phased manner the units are being increased. It is said that by 2025, the manufacturing of iPhones in units in India would reach as much as 25 percent.
