Apple’s BKC store in Mumbai and Select City Walk store in Delhi each employ 90-100 individuals, including part-time employees who work in shifts. The company aims to hire a similar number of employees for its new stores in Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi-NCR and Mumbai.

Apple’s recruiters have already begun attracting talent on job sites, including LinkedIn. One of the Apple India recruiters posted, “It’s amazing to see Apple expand across this incredible country in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru. We are looking to talk to people across many roles.”

Apple’s decision to expand its retail operations in India comes on the back of the success of its BKC outlet in Mumbai and Select City Mall store in Delhi. Launched in April last year by CEO Tim Cook, these two stores have reportedly generated around ₹800 crore in revenues in their first year, with 60% of sales coming from the smaller Delhi store.
