Tim Cook Unveils Second Official Apple Retail Store in India with Apple Saket

Apple CEO Tim Cook has officially opened the brand's second retail store in India, Apple Saket. The store's inauguration followed the launch of Apple BKS in Mumbai two days earlier.

Despite operating in India for over 25 years, this is the first time Apple has opened official retail stores in the country. With India considered the next China for the Cupertino-based tech giant, Apple plans to invest heavily in production in India in the coming years.

Prior to the opening of the Delhi store, Cook met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss Apple's vision for the country. Before the store's opening, long queues formed at the Saket mall, with some fans eager to experience Apple's international standards, while most simply wanted a selfie with Tim Cook.

Just like the opening of the Mumbai store, a few Apple fans at the Apple Saket were seen with the company's old devices which have now been discontinued. Apple Saket features made in India Apple iPhones, iPads, AirPods, and a uniquely designed curved storefront with white oak tables. The store features a dedicated Apple Pickup station, making it easier for customers to order online and collect their devices in-store conveniently. Like all Apple facilities, Apple Saket and Apple’s operations in India run on 100 percent renewable energy and are carbon neutral.

The store possesses more than 70 highly skilled retail team members coming from a combined 18 states in India and collectively speak more than 15 languages.
