Apple officially opened its first retail store in Noida on December 11 at the DLF Mall of India, marking another major milestone in its India expansion journey. This becomes Apple’s fifth retail store in the country and the second in the Delhi-NCR region, following the launch of Apple Saket earlier this year.

Why Apple Chose Noida

Vanessa Trigub, Apple’s Vice President of Stores and Retail Operations, said that Noida was chosen for its “vibrant and fast-growing community” of students, creators, and entrepreneurs. She noted that the new store is designed as a space “where creativity and technology meet”, bringing together Apple’s ecosystem of hardware, software, and signature customer service.
