Being a billion dollar market, India has been a major priority for the top technology companies. Now Apple is planning to open it’s official branches in India to increase it’s market for a greater extent. Apple is now officially partnered with Tata-owned consumer electronic chain Croma. Beginning with 5 stores at first, it will be opening five stores in Mumbai and one store at Banglore. The locations are Juhu, Oberoi Mall, Malad, Ghatkopar, and Phoenix Mall in Mumbai. In Bangalore, the store will be opened in Jayanagar. These stores are expected to be opened by Diwali this year.
Avijit Mitra who owns Croma said “We are proud to partner Apple to launch the Apple Store in India and extremely bullish about it. These stores will be modelled on the global design and will offer the best experience to consumers, showcasing the entire range of Apple products.” These stores will be totally different from the official Apple stores as these are just franchises owned by another company.
