Apple set a quarterly record in the January-March period in India and grew very strong, in double digits year-over-year, said Tim Cook, the company’s CEO who was in India last month to open the first branded retail stores in Mumbai and New Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apple reported a record revenue of $94.8 billion for its March quarter which was better than expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Looking at the business in India, we did set a quarterly record, grew very strong, double digits year-over-year. So it was quite a good quarter for us, taking a step back, India is an incredibly exciting market. It’s a major focus for us. I was just there, and the dynamism in the market, the vibrancy is unbelievable,” Cook told analysts during the earnings call late on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over time, he said, Apple has been expanding operations in India to serve more customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Three years ago, we launched the Apple Store online, and then, we launched two stores just a few weeks ago, and they’re off to a great start, one in Mumbai and one in Delhi,” said Cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apple has got a number of channel partners in the country as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Overall, I couldn’t be more delighted and excited by the enthusiasm I’m seeing for the brand there. There are a lot of people coming into the middle class, and I really feel that India is at a tipping point, and it’s great to be there,” said the Apple CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company achieved all-time records in Mexico, Indonesia, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the UAE, as well as a number of March quarter records, including in Brazil, Malaysia and India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
