Apple India set to open second store in East Bengaluru

It's not even a year since Apple Hebbal Store opened its doors in Bengaluru. Now, the American iPhone maker is all set to launch its second outlet in India's IT city.

Apple has opened multiple retail job roles, including Operations Expert, Genius, Expert, Business Pro, Technical Specialist, and Creative.

The location details of the job posting on Apple's careers page indicate the company will open the new store in East Bengaluru, most likely at Phoenix Marketcity mall, which is in the IT corridor of Whitefield, Mahadevapura.

As main regions such as the US, China and Europe reach market saturation, Apple has increasingly shifted focus to emerging markets, more so in India, which is the world's fastest-growing and second biggest smartphone market.

In the recently announced financial results, for the first time, Apple India registered double-digit growth in three major segments: iPhones, Mac computers and iPads. Previously, only the iPhone used to be the biggest revenue generator for the company.

Now, thanks to affordable iPads and the all-new MacBook Neo, Apple has registered significant sales in these categories.

Since the launch of Apple Store online in 2020, it has opened six physical outlets, starting with Mumbai and Delhi in 2023, followed by Bengaluru, Pune, and Noida in quick succession in 2025, as well as a second store in Mumbai (Borivali) in February earlier this year.

Apple is expected to launch a new store in Hyderabad, most probably by the end of the year. And, the East Bengaluru store is likely to open in early 2027.
