As Apple celebrates 25 years in India, the company has announced that it now supports 1 million developer jobs in the country. This week, Apple is opening its first flagship store in Mumbai, with another store set to open in Delhi. The company has been producing iPhones in India since 2017 and claims to “support hundreds of thousands of jobs” through manufacturing patterns and local component manufacturers.

Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, praised India’s culture and energy, stating that the company is “eager to expand on our well-established history” in the country. He added that the company is committed to supporting its clients, investing in local communities, and working to build a better future with innovations that serve humanity.

To support the growth of the app development industry in India, Apple established the iOS App Design and Development Accelerator in Bengaluru in 2017. The accelerator provides developers with the support they need to take their apps to the next level, and over 15,000 developers have attended sessions hosted by the accelerator.

Apple has committed to being carbon neutral for its supply chain and products by 2030. All of the company’s active Indian manufacturing supply chain partners have pledged to use only clean energy for their Apple operations, contributing to the company’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.

Apple’s expansion in India demonstrates the company’s commitment to the country’s growing market and its potential for growth. With the opening of new stores and the support of local developers, Apple is investing in the future of technology in India.
