These retail locations are said to mark a significant expansion in India and will offer new ways for the consumer to browse, discover, and buy Apple products.

To hype the opening of the stores even more, Apple is inviting customers to download custom Apple Saket and Apple BKC wallpapers, specially curated playlists on Apple Music to groove to the sounds of Mumbai and Delhi, and visit apple.com/in/retail/bkc and apple.com/in/retail/saket to learn more about the upcoming openings.
