Apple opens its first retail store in Bengaluru, India
Apple will open its first retail store in the Hebbal district of Bengaluru this week. It’s the third retail store the company has opened in India, where it also has shops in Mumbai and Delhi as its business grows in the country.
What’s in store?
The store offers everything that has already made Apple retail a success. That means personalized support, training, and other unique experiences for customers to discover Apple’s lineup of products and services, including free Today at Apple sessions.
The store’s 70 team members hail from 15 states across India. Like all Apple facilities, Apple Hebbal runs on 100 percent renewable energy and is carbon neutral.
What Apple said
“We’re delighted to open Apple Hebbal, a community hub that celebrates Bengaluru’s spirit of innovation,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail and People.
“We can’t wait to connect with people here and inspire them to create, collaborate, and do amazing things with Apple. We’re excited to continue to bring Apple experiences to customers across India, who inspire us with their creativity and passion.”
Open for business
Reflecting the growing importance of enterprise sales to Apple’s bottom line, the company also confirmed it will have a dedicated Business Team in place at the store. The Apple Hebbal, Business Pros will provide tailored guidance, device support, and tools to help small and medium-sized businesses in India grow and thrive.
To celebrate the grand opening, customers can download exclusive Apple Hebbal wallpapers, and listen to a specially curated Apple Music Hebbal playlist featuring local Bengaluru artists.
