And how Apple's online store has been a precursor to the grand opening of the first and hopefully, many stores to come in India. How it has the potential to change the way most people perceive and experience Apple service and support currently. Lastly, we dive into how Apple may do things differently for the Indian market. There's also a focus on education, which is mainly to do with Apple devices. Stores are known for constantly inviting local artists, holding training sessions, and more. So, it will indeed be interesting to see how Apple approaches and moulds its store designs around the cultures of these two cities in India.Īpart from the visual and cosmetic treatment, Apple Stores are also about the experience.

We also discuss our personal experiences with Apple Stores abroad. While friendly and knowledgeable staff may be a prerequisite for any authorised retailer, the ability to browse through every single accessory on sale in India will indeed be something that local retailers will possibly find hard to match. But the actual Apple Store does things quite differently and this is what we believe may turn out to be an eye-opener for most Apple customers or visitors. Stores that resemble the Apple Store format (though not a replica) do exist in the form of authorised retail stores like those from Maple, Aptronics and the like. This is less down to the speciality of the store and is more to do with how uniquely Apple does what it does. So, we first discuss how different they are and whether the concept of the store is special to begin with. The concept of an Apple Store is quite new for India. We discussed everything from the designs of the Apple Store globally, to the experience of the ones we have visited and what makes them so special.
