Apple to expand retail footprint across India

Tech giant Apple is bolstering its presence in India with the opening of four new retail outlets in key cities: Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. This expansion is part of Apple's broader strategy to tap into India's rapidly growing market.
To support these new stores, Apple plans to hire up to 400 employees, offering a mix of full-time and part-time positions. The company's hiring model aligns with its existing flagship stores in Mumbai and Delhi, which employ around 90 to 100 staff each. Apple is particularly interested in hiring recent graduates for part-time roles, providing them with valuable work experience.
Apple India recruiters have announced job openings for various positions, including technical specialists, operations experts, and supply managers.
Apple India executives have announced job openings for four upcoming retail stores seeking candidates for various roles as part of the company's expansion, according to a LinkedIn post by an Apple Retail leader. The roles listed on the website include technical specialist, operations expert and supply manager.
Building upon the success of its initial two flagship stores, Apple aims to provide Indian consumers with a more immersive and personalized shopping experience through its official outlets. Initiatives like 'Today at Apple' workshops offer expert guidance and hands-on training, enhancing Apple's brand presence in the country.
While Apple products remain available online and through resellers, the new stores offer a direct and interactive experience for customers. By expanding its retail footprint, Apple is strengthening its connection with Indian consumers and positioning itself for continued growth in the region.
Last month, we reported that US-based tech giant Apple plans to create 600,000 jobs in India by the end of this fiscal year, driven by its booming sales and expanding manufacturing operations. The company’s workforce in India is expected to approach 200,000 direct employees by March, with a significant portion of these roles anticipated to be filled by women, according to reports.
Although India's contribution to Apple's global revenue is still relatively modest, the company's considerable expansion in the country indicates that it will play a progressively vital role in Apple's overall strategy in the future.
