Apple may employ over 500,000 people in India over the next 3 years

iPhone maker Apple through its vendors is expected to employ over 500,000 people in India over the next three years, according to government sources.

At present Apple’s vendors and suppliers employ 150,000 people in India. Tata Electronics, which runs two plants for Apple, is the biggest job generator.

“Apple is accelerating hiring in India. At a conservative estimate, it is going to employ five lakh people in the next three years through its vendors and components suppliers,” a senior government officer told PTI.
