Apple has recently demonstrated a renewed approach toward India, the market where the company’s marquee product, iPhone, is a status symbol and yet secures less than a percent. The new approach includes a bullish marketing campaign for the iPhone that costs almost equal to an Indian’s average salary for two months. The approach also includes Apple’s direct sales platform. Apple launched its online store in India in 2020, and now it is set to open its first physical store.
The first physical Apple Store in India is coming up at Jio World Drive Mall in Mumbai. It is called the Apple BKC, where BKC is short for the store’s vicinity, Bandra Kurla Complex — an upscale region in India’s financial capital. Inspired by Mumbai’s iconic ‘kaali peeli‘ taxis, the art of the upcoming Apple Store in Mumbai makes it one of the most attractive retail outlets in India. Apple’s swanky physical outlets worldwide are famous for their art, so as it gears up to launch Apple BKC later this month, let us take a look at all the countries and Apple Stores in them.
