Namastey, Delhi: After Mumbai, capital is host to Apple at new Saket store

After its grand opening in Mumbai, Apple is gearing up for it's Delhi opening. The second of its kind in India, Apple Saket will offer personalised support and unique experiences for customers to discover the technology.

Day after it opened to huge crowds in Mumbai, Apple on Wednesday previewed its second physical store in the country, at Select CityWalk mall in New Delhi. “We’re thrilled to bring the best of Apple to our customers in Delhi with the opening of our second store in India, Apple Saket,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail.

“Our incredible team members look forward to connecting with the local community and helping them find new ways to pursue their passions and unleash their creativity through our amazing products and services," said O'Brien.

The store has more than 70 highly skilled retail team members who come from a combined 18 states in India and collectively speak more than 15 languages. The store has a uniquely designed curved storefront with white oak tables displaying Apple’s products and accessories, as well as a feature wall manufactured in India.

For hands-on technical and hardware support, customers can make a reservation at the Genius Bar at Apple Saket for help from an Expert. "Genius Bar appointments can help with everything from setting up a device, recovering an Apple ID, selecting an AppleCare plan, or modifying subscriptions," said Apple.

Apple CEO Tim Cook inaugurated Apple Saket on Thursday. Cook had reached Delh on Wednesday, and was seen exploring areas like National Crafts Museum & Hastkala Academy and Lodhi Art District. "I could've spent the whole day at the National Crafts Museum & Hastkala Academy. From ancient and vibrant textiles to impossibly intricate wood carvings, it displayed India’s deep—and deeply beautiful— culture of craft," he tweeted.
