The development comes after the Indian government in 2019 decided to tweak its Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regulations in retail to allow global companies like Apple to set up shop in the country; both online as well as offline.
Apple to set up retail shop in India by 2021: CEO Tim Cook
Many Apple Stores are located inside shopping malls, but Apple has built several stand-alone "flagship" stores in high-profile locations.[90] It has been granted design patents and received architectural awards for its stores' designs and construction, specifically for its use of glass staircases and cubes.[207] The success of Apple Stores have had significant influence over other consumer electronics retailers, who have lost traffic, control and profits due to a perceived higher quality of service and products at Apple Stores.[208] Due to the popularity of the brand, Apple receives a large number of job applications, many of which come from young workers.[205] Although Apple Store employees receive above-average pay, are offered money toward education and health care, and receive product discounts,[205] there are limited or no paths of career advancement.[205]
