Apple recently opened its first retail stores in Delhi and Mumbai. The Apple India stores in Mumbai and Delhi employ around 170 employees and these recruits can collectively speak over 15 languages.
According to reports, Apple has hired employees with degrees in MBA, B-Tech in electrical engineering, computer science, bachelor’s in computer application, etc. The company is paying around Rs 1 lakh per month to some Apple India stores employees. The salary is whopping to say the least for this position because the average salary for executives at other electronic stores across India is around Rs 30000 per month.
There is an Apple Genius too at retail store in Mumbai and Delhi and this Apple Genius is actually technical support staff at the retail store. It is learnt that the Apple Genius has a background in MBA and data analysis. The Apple Genius has around seven years of work experience. The qualification of another Apple Genius is equally impressive as the worker has served at Apple and EXL in the past. The second Apple Genius holds a degree in BTech (packaging science). Some Apple India store employees have studied at Cambridge or Griffith University.
According to Apple’s career page, some benefits for employees include health-wellness resources and time-away programmes. The career page also mentioned that workers at all levels have the option to buy stock grants for employees at a discount.
Apple Stores
Apple’s first wholly owned stores in India have opened. Both Apple BKC and Apple Saket were launched in India to great pomp with Tim Cook personally present. Both stores are powered entirely by renewable energy, aligning with Apple’s 2030 carbon neutrality goal. In fact, Apple claims the Mumbai store is its most sustainable one yet, with a massive solar panel array outside the facility that powers it. The Delhi store too is powered by a solar array. They also cater to local customs, such as employing a door man, something that’s not present at most Apple stores across the world.
