New Delhi: On his maiden visit to India, Apple Inc Chief Executive Tim Cook said it was “exactly the right time” to be in the country and the US firm presence will be for “hundreds” of years. With telecom firms rolling out 4G high speed Internet services, Apple, which is seeing declining sales elsewhere in the world, is betting big on India as a growth market.
The technology giant showed where its priorities lie, with the opening of its new office here that will focus on development of Maps for products like iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Cook said, “the
talent here in the local area is incredible and we are looking forward to expanding our relationships and introducing more universities and partners to our platforms as we scale up our operations.”
