There is also a section called Genius Bar where the store staff provides advice and assistance to customers.
In addition to this, the store has a pickup zone. Customers can order the product online and pick them from the store at the ‘pickup zone’.
Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president, retail, said “We are thrilled to bring the best of Apple to our customers in Delhi with the opening of our second store in India.”
Apple’s first store in India was opened on April 18 in Mumbai.
After meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, Cook said, “we’re committed to growing and investing across the country.”
Cook also met IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and minister of state for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar in the national capital.
According to Chandrasekhar, Apple is likely to triple its investments in India in the next few years.
“I am very confident that this Apple-India partnership has a lot of headroom for investments, growth, exports and jobs - doubling and tripling over coming years," Chandrasekhar told Reuters.
