Apple Inaugurates New Green Office in Bengaluru, Expanding Indian Footprint
Apple has inaugurated a new office in Bengaluru, marking a significant stride in its Indian operations. The state-of-the-art facility, designed to accommodate over 1,200 employees, underscores Apple’s commitment to environmental sustainability and innovation. Located at Minsk Square, near prominent city landmarks, the 15-story building boasts easy access to public transport. The office is distinguished by dedicated areas for labs, collaborative workspaces, and a culinary space known as Caffe Macs. The interior design, featuring locally sourced materials and greenery, aims to foster a creative and inspiring work environment. A notable feature of the Bengaluru office is its operation on 100% renewable energy, consistent with Apple’s global environmental goals. This new addition joins Apple’s network of offices in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Gurugram, reflecting the company’s 25-year presence in India. Apple’s Bengaluru teams are involved in a range of activities, including software development and customer support. The company, employing nearly 3,000 individuals in India, has been using green energy exclusively since 2018. Beyond its office operations, Apple collaborates with local suppliers and organizations like Frank Water, promoting employment and environmental protection initiatives around Bengaluru. In a statement, Apple highlighted the Bengaluru office’s role in fostering innovation and creativity. The company emphasized its commitment to environmental consciousness and positive community impact in India. Apple’s expansion in India includes increased manufacturing and retail presence, aligning with the China-Plus-One strategy. Collaborations with partners like Foxconn, Pegatron, and Tata Electronics have led to the production of iPhones and accessories in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The company has established two retail stores in Mumbai and Delhi, both reporting substantial sales. Apple has also benefited from India’s Production-Linked Incentive Scheme, achieving a record production value of Rs 1 lakh crore in iPhones in 2023, the highest for any smartphone manufacturer in the country.
