The Cupertino giant is betting big on the Indian market. At the recent investor's conference, post announcement of its quaterly results, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the company is excited about its India investments. Cook said that the past year has seen iPhone sales growing at a fast clip in India. “Our iPhone sales in India were up over 50% in fiscal 2016 compared to the prior year, and we believe we're just beginning to scratch the surface of this large and growing market opportunity,” he said.
The Apple CEO further added that he is confident that he can turn India into as big an opportunity as China is for Apple. He emphasized that India's “very, very young population” holds tremendous advantages for the company.
“The truth is there's going to be a lot of people there and a lot of people in the middle class that will really want a smartphone, and I think we can compete well for some percentage of those. And Given our starting point, even though we've been growing a lot, there's a lot of headroom there in our mind. So, we're working very hard to realize that opportunity,” Cook told mediamen and investors.
