 Why is Apple opening stores in India?

Apple CEO Tim Cook has opened the company’s first owned retail store in India, located in Mumbai, India's financial capital.

The move is the result of years of planning and meeting regulatory requirements, including local product sourcing. In order to emphasize China's growing significance, Apple plans to diversify its manufacturing footprint and grow sales in the nation of 1.4 billion people.

Apple's deals in India hit very nearly 6 billion bucks in the year through March. Apple has identified India's expanding middle class as a lucrative growth opportunity in light of the slowing global demand for technology and is increasing production there.
