Bengaluru : Tech giant Apple Inc. is all set to throw open the doors of its brand-new India retail store in Bengaluru on September 2, marking another milestone in its fast-expanding footprint in the country.
This will be Apple’s third official outlet in India, after Mumbai and Delhi, and the first in South India. Strategically placed in the city’s bustling business district, the store is expected to cater to the city’s vibrant tech-savvy population and strengthen Apple’s connection with its ever-growing fan base.
Bengaluru, often called the “Silicon Valley of India”, is considered a natural choice for Apple’s next flagship. The city’s young professionals, start-up culture, and strong IT ecosystem make it a hotspot for premium devices.
The new store promises more than just shopping. Customers will enjoy hands-on product experiences, personalized assistance, and “Today at Apple” sessions, where experts will host workshops on photography, music, coding, and design.
“India is a priority market for us, and the Bengaluru store reflects our vision of providing world-class experiences to our customers,” an Apple spokesperson said.
The launch also comes at a time when Apple is steadily ramping up local manufacturing in India, with iPhone production units already operating in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Analysts say this dual push — retail plus manufacturing — positions Apple strongly in the booming Indian smartphone market.
The Bengaluru store is expected to create new job opportunities, attract thousands of customers on its opening day, and further raise the city’s global tech profile.
Industry watchers believe the store will give Apple an edge in India’s premium segment, currently dominated by rivals like Samsung and OnePlus.
The grand launch on September 2 is expected to draw massive crowds, with exclusive in-store experiences and offers likely to be rolled out for the first wave of visitors.
With this, Bengaluru joins the global list of cities hosting Apple’s iconic retail outlets — a fitting tribute to India’s growing importance in Apple’s global growth story.
