In a significant move to deepen its roots in India, Apple has unveiled a state-of-the-art corporate office at Minsk Square, Bengaluru, marking another milestone in the company’s expanding footprint in the country. This follows the opening of retail stores in Mumbai and Delhi in 2023, reinforcing Apple’s commitment to the Indian market.
The new office, spanning an impressive 15 floors, can accommodate up to 1,200 employees. It features dedicated lab spaces, collaborative areas, wellness facilities, and includes the renowned Caffe Macs. Apple’s teams in Bengaluru, operating across diverse domains such as software, hardware, services, IS&T, operations, and customer support, will be housed in this cutting-edge workspace.
In line with Apple’s long-standing commitment to achieving a carbon-neutral footprint for its corporate operations since 2020, the interior design of the new office incorporates locally sourced materials such as stone, wood, and fabric for walls and flooring. The workspace is adorned with native plants, emphasizing Apple’s dedication to sustainability. Moreover, the entire office will operate on renewable energy, aligning with Apple’s adoption of 100% renewable energy since 2018. The company is also aiming to attain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum rating, the highest level of LEED certification.
An Apple spokesperson expressed excitement about the expansion in India, stating, “Apple is thrilled to expand in India with our new office in the heart of Bengaluru. This dynamic city is already home to so many of our talented teams, including software engineering and hardware technologies, operations, customer support, and more. Like everything we do at Apple, this workspace is created to foster innovation, creativity, and connection. It’s an amazing space for our teams to collaborate.”
Apple, a pioneer in the tech industry, has been a part of the Indian landscape for over 25 years, employing nearly 3,000 professionals. The company collaborates closely with Indian suppliers, supporting a multitude of jobs across the country.
With India emerging as a key market priority, Apple has experienced record-breaking iPhone sales in recent quarters. The company is not only expanding its manufacturing footprint but has also narrowed the gap with China by initiating the production of the iPhone 15 in India before its global debut in 2023.
