For its planned retail outlets, Apple has various employment openings listed on its official India website. The new job posting confirms the company’s decision, which will lead to the opening of the first formal retail locations in Delhi and Mumbai. For its retail outlets in “different places inside India,” according to the company’s website, Apple is seeking technical specialists, store leaders, specialists, managers, business experts, and creative managers. A job listing for the position of “genius” to address “technical challenges” for clients is also available. While some of these job posts were published in October 2022, the majority of them were published on January 9.
The applicant for the position of “genius” will also “give recommendations on accompanying accessories that will further improve the customer’s experience with Apple products,” according to Apple. For its forthcoming outlets in Mumbai and Delhi, the company is searching for “genius” applicants. The website also emphasises that prospective Apple India retail store employees will need to put in 40 hours a week of work (likely 8 hours for five days). Aside from English, Apple encourages candidates to be native speakers of their native tongue. As can be expected, pay information is not highlighted in the job postings.
The Economic Times published a report on Apple’s plans to open two stores this year, one in New Delhi that will be about 12,000 square feet and the other in Mumbai that will be 22,000 square feet. Apple established its official e-store in India in 2020, but the corporation has been slow to expand its offerings there. However, the iPhone manufacturer now wants India to be one of its key production hubs as it continues to experience difficulties in China as a result of the country’s stringent COVID-19 laws. While COVID-19 norms in China are progressively loosening, Apple is currently debating expanding its manufacturing facilities in Vietnam and India.
Apple may broaden its in-person at Apple programmes, which are offered at specific stores in specific countries, if it opens its formal retail outlets in India. As part of the concept, the business partners with experts to provide creative sessions using Apple devices like iPhones and iPads. The India Art Fair in New Delhi, India, will be the site of Apple’s first live Today at Apple event in February. Next month’s session will feature artwork created on the newest iPad Pro devices powered by the M2 chip as well as creative sessions from the company’s three resident artists.
