Apple is bringing the Apple Store to India at a time when the company has seen explosive growth in its products, especially the iPhone, in the country. India has the second biggest market for smartphones, giving Apple a lot of potential to grow in the upper tier of the smartphone segment. Cupertino is also lately expanding its manufacturing facility in India.

Apple has more than 500 stores in major global cities including New York, Dubai, London and Tokyo. Each store has been redesigned to “feel like a town square” and events space for the general public. Apple Stores are known for a canopy of trees and an area that hosts all of the Today at Apple events, with a large “video wall” that is used in the more interactive sessions.
