Apple Store in India Is Likely to Open Soon, According to Job Listings

As the well-known tech company seeks staff for a brick-and-mortar retail shop in the nation, the Apple Store in India may soon welcome consumers. The second-largest smartphone market in the world is where the iPhone maker is reportedly aiming to open its first-ever stores, according to a dozen job listings. As per reports, Apple is hiring staff for what appears to be its first-ever store in India. The tech giant has, as of this writing, listed about a dozen positions in the enormous smartphone industry, including senior managers, store leaders, business specialists, and "genius."

"I don't want someone else to run the brand for us," the chief executive declares. Given that their products are now sold in the nation by third-party sellers, it makes sense. The internet giant had initially intended to launch its brick-and-mortar store in India in 2021, according to The Verge.

Despite the iPhone 5's lacklustre reception from industry experts and criticisms of its new mapping system, lines of ardent fans still formed outside Apple's Hong Kong stores when it first went on sale. The COVID-19 pandemic did, however, materialise. As a result, it appeared to be delayed this year. In contrast, Apple didn't launch its online store in the nation until 2020, enabling customers to buy products directly from the tech giant.

Today's job listings strongly imply that Apple is preparing to set up shop in the nation. Some people have already landed jobs for the Apple Store operations, though there are still other positions open. According to the reports, posts on LinkedIn verify that at least five employees have declared their employment for the upcoming expansion of Apple Stores in India. No less than the head of recruitment in India, Renu Sevanthi, revealed in his post on the professional social networking website that they are seeking employees for a retail establishment. The listing also implies that Apple intends to open a number of locations in India. According to one job posting, duties include taking care of staff members at various "Apple Stores." It appears that the iPhone manufacturer is preparing to open retail stores across the nation in addition to the rumoured flagship store in Mumbai.
