Event Summary

Apple Inc. has opened its second retail store in India — Mumbai, named Apple Borivali, and its sixth overall in India. Located in Sky City Mall in Borivali, the new store offers Apple Inc.'s full range of products and services, including the latest iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac models. The store is staffed by over 70 team members providing expert guidance, personalized support, and services like Apple Trade In and flexible financing. Apple Borivali operates on 100 percent renewable energy and is carbon neutral, aligning with Apple Inc.'s environmental goals. This expansion is part of Apple Inc.'s broader retail strategy in India, which began in 2023 with stores in India — Mumbai and Delhi, followed by Bengaluru, Pune, and Noida. India is emerging as a key market for both sales and manufacturing for Apple Inc., with the company manufacturing iPhones in India since 2017, partly influenced by the Production Linked Incentive Scheme.
