Apple is having a hard time trying to take over the Indian market, where with a population of over 1.200 billion, the company has been stumbling over the same stone over and over again. This stone that the government of the country, always try to protect and try to start local businesses offering difficulties to multinationals that want to sell their products in the country, unless they invest in the creation of factories or development centers. But after several months of battles with the government and after Tim Cook's visit to the country to meet with the prime minister, it seems that now everyone is happy.
Last May and to try to unblock the negotiations for the local government to allow the company to open its own stores, Apple announced the creation of a center to develop applications in the country, a center that is scheduled to open for the beginning of the year. According to The Economic Times, the Cupertino-based company has just signed a lease agreement to rent an office space of nearly 4.000 square meters that will aim to speed up the process of designing applications for iOS.
Apple's new office space in India is spread over two floors, with some just designed to house tech companies, so Apple will need to make few changes to suit its purposes. These facilities located in Galleria, North of Bangalore. This region is known as the technology capital in the country and where more than one million professionals are currently employed. People familiar with this project say that these facilities belong to the Standard Brick Tile Company, which currently has tenants such as Comviva and Atkins.
