According to The Financial Times, Apple has begun to fill out its India store staff. There are new openings for store leaders, senior managers, Genius Bar workers, and more in the company's job listings.
There is no indication of how many jobs are available in the Apple Store. According to The Financial Times, at least five employees located in Mumbai and New Dehli shared on LinkedIn that they have already been hired for the upcoming stores, while Apple's head of recruiting in India "celebrated" the news of their hiring.
According to The Economic Times, Apple will open a store in Mumbai at the beginning of this year. It is not known when the New Dehli store will open, along with several other stores in the country. Apple didn't reply immediately.
In 2020, Apple made its online store available to customers in India, with CEO Tim Cook suggesting that the company would establish a physical presence during a shareholder meeting later that year. "I don't want someone else to run the brand for us," Cook said, referring to the third-party retailers that currently sell iPhones to customers at brick-and- mortar stores in India. The opening of Apple's first store in India was delayed due to the covid epidemic and was pushed back a second time.
More production is being brought to India by Apple as it looks to expand in the country. After the release of the iPhone 14, the company moved production of the device from China to India. With Apple trying to distance itself from China due to political reasons, India may be starting to look like an increasingly attractive manufacturing hub. It beats both China and Vietnam as the country with the cheapest manufacturing costs and has a massive smartphone market that Apple only began to tap into.
