Apple investing significantly in India, supports around 1 mn jobs: Official

Apple is investing significantly in India to expand its presence in the country, and supports around one million jobs in the country across its workforce, apps and supplier partners, the company’s Vice-President (Product Operations) Priya Balasubramaniam said on Thursday.

Speaking at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2021, Balasubramaniam said Apple has been operating in India for over two decades, and in 2017, it began manufacturing iPhones at a facility in Bengaluru.

“Since then, we’ve expanded with facilities here and in Chennai, manufacturing several iPhone models for the domestic market and for export. Along with our supply chain, we are investing significantly in India to develop our operations, expand our reach, and engage with more local suppliers,” she added.
