After a delay of two years, in the week that Apple celebrated 25 years of its products in India, the California-headquartered company finally opened its first-ever store in India on April 18.
Apple’s original plan to open physical stores in India was for 2021, but it was delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Till now, customers in India purchased Apple products either online or from ‘premium resellers’ or third-party retailers, who had to acquire a licence from Apple to sell its devices. Apple launched its official online store in India in September 2020.
