Apple plans to hire 400 new employees for its retail stores in India

Apple shipped US$6 billion worth of iPhones from India in the first six months of 2024, continuing the tech giant’s efforts to reduce reliance on China.

Apple plans to hire 400 new employees for its upcoming stores in Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi-NCR and Mumbai, according to Benzinga India.

The report says the tech giant has listed a slew of job openings on its website, aiming to fill various positions before the launch of these outlets in India next year. The job listings include both full-time and part-time roles, similar to those at its existing stores in Mumbai and Delhi.

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, according to Benzinga India.

The country has increasingly become a focal point for Apple and for good reason. According to Counterpoint data accessed by Moneycontrol, Apple’s revenue in India is expected to cross US$9.5 billion this year. 

Non-smartphone revenue is projected to reach $1.3 billion in 2024, reflecting a 14% year-on-year growth. iPhone revenues alone will be around $8.2 billion in the 2024 calendar year.
