This expansion will be important as Apple still relies heavily on China for its manufacturing. The company plans to diversify its manufacturing and presence, with India being one of the countries it is looking towards.
India is considered the second biggest smartphone market in the world, so it makes sense that Apple would want to open its flagship stores in the country. Recently, Apple listed 12 job openings for different locations across the country.
The listings had the tag Apple Retail, indicating the positions would be directed toward potential flagship retail stores.
