Apple® will launch the Apple Store® online in India on September
23, offering Apple’s full range of products and support directly to
customers across the country for the first time. The new online
store will provide customers with the same premium experience found
in Apple Store locations around the world, delivered by online team
members who are ready to offer their expertise.
“We’re proud to be expanding in India and want to do all we can
to support our customers and their communities,” said Deirdre
O'Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People. “We know
our users are relying on technology to stay connected, engage in
learning, and tap into their creativity, and by bringing the Apple
Store online to India, we are offering our customers the very best
of Apple at this important time.”
The Apple Store online is the most convenient destination to
shop for Apple products, with online Apple Specialists available to
help with anything from custom-configuring any Mac® to setting up
new devices. Customers can get advice, receive guidance, and learn
about new products directly from Apple, both in English and
Hindi.
With financing options and an available trade-in program, the
Apple Store online offers a range of affordability options.
Students can shop for a Mac or iPad® with special pricing, and
receive discounts on accessories and AppleCare®+. In October,
customers can expect free online Today at Apple® sessions led by
local Creative Pros, focused on photography and music. Just in time
for the festive season, signature gift wrap and personalized
engraving will be available for select products. Engraving of emoji
or text in English, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi,
Tamil, and Telugu will be available for AirPods®, and English
engraving will be available for iPad and Apple Pencil®.
For the health and well-being of Apple’s teams, customers, and
communities, all orders from the Apple Store online will ship with
contactless delivery. Orders that do not require a signature will
be left at the customer’s door, and those that do will need only a
verbal confirmation from a safe distance instead of a written
signature.
Apple has been operating in India for more than 20 years, and
the company’s ongoing investment and innovation support almost
900,000 jobs across the country. Apple’s App Design and Development
Accelerator in Bengaluru has supported thousands of local
developers, and today apps created by developers in India have
become even more critical to everyday life as people seek to stay
engaged and connected from home. Among them are Wysa, an AI-based
app that is making it possible for millions of people to get mental
wellness support in an affordable and accessible way, and the yoga
app YogiFi, which uses computer vision for real-time posture
correction and machine learning to curate personalized yoga plans,
helping users stay healthy and active from the comfort of their
homes.
As COVID-19 presents immense challenges and uncertainties for
communities across the country, Apple’s teams are supporting local
organizations to provide remote learning with study guides and
curricula.
