The Apple CEO tweeted that he «can’t wait to welcome» customers to the new store in Mumbai city.
Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook is set to launch the company’s first store in India on Tuesday, in financial capital Mumbai.
He will also attend the opening of a second store in capital city Delhi on Thursday.
Until now, Apple products have been available in India either online or through a vast network of resellers.
On Monday, Mr Cook tweeted that he «can’t wait to welcome» customers to the new store in Mumbai.
Earlier in the day, Apple had given a preview of the store, which is located in an upscale neighbourhood of the city, to some bloggers and analysts. The store’s design has been inspired by the black-and-yellow taxis that are ubiquitous in Mumbai.
Reports say thousands of people are expected to turn up for the main launch event on Tuesday.
The new stores come at a time when Apple is trying to deepen its retail push in India, the world’s second largest smartphone market.
