The outlet will have Genius Bars, which you can consult on an appointment, and 100 Apple Geniuses who speak over 20 languages to guide you through any hiccup with your devices.

Apple in Mumbai decided to feature local artists, visitors and creatives to provide them with free sessions through Apple products as an initiative called “Mumbai Rising.” The multinational company has always put forward art and is honouring the same in India.
The 20,000 square foot of the property has been designed to look like the yellow and black cabs of Mumbai. To reflect the distinctive geometry of the store, Apple BKC has a triangular handcrafted timber ceiling that extends past the glass façade to the underneath of the outside canopy. The 1,000 tiles comprising the ceiling comprise 408 pieces of wood each comprising 31 modules per tile. Around 450,000 distinct pieces of wood were used, all of which were put together in Delhi. Two Rajasthani stone walls and a 14-meter stainless steel staircase leading from the ground floor to the cantilevered mezzanine welcome clients as they walk into the shop.
