Apple has expanded its footprint in India with the launch of its third retail store, Apple Hebbal, in Bengaluru on September 2, 2023. The new outlet is located in the Phoenix Mall of Asia, one of the city’s most popular shopping destinations. This marks Apple’s first retail presence in Bengaluru, adding to its existing stores in Mumbai and Delhi.
The new store offers customers the full range of Apple products, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and accessories. Shoppers can also access the Genius Bar for expert support and troubleshooting. In addition, Apple Hebbal hosts “Today at Apple” sessions, free workshops on creativity, productivity, coding, and Apple Intelligence. Dedicated teams are also available to support business customers with tailored solutions.
To celebrate the opening, Apple released exclusive Apple Hebbal wallpapers for download and introduced a Bengaluru-inspired playlist on Apple Music. The launch underscores Apple’s growing investment in India, where the company is not only opening stores but also expanding local manufacturing. This move helps create jobs while boosting Apple’s ability to serve a rapidly growing customer base.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has described India as a “major opportunity,” with iPhone sales hitting record levels in recent quarters. The country’s increasing smartphone demand, highlighted by the millions of mobile users in regions like Punjab, reflects the vital role of mobile technology in everyday life.
Bengaluru, often dubbed the “Silicon Valley of India,” is a fitting choice for Apple’s expansion. Known for its thriving tech industry and vibrant startup ecosystem, the city adds to its reputation as a global innovation hub with the arrival of Apple Hebbal.
The launch represents a significant step for Apple as it strengthens its presence in India’s fast-growing technology market. With more customers seeking smartphones and advanced devices, Apple’s commitment to the country highlights its belief in India’s immense potential.
