Apple on Tuesday opened its first flagship store in India in the country’s financial hub of Mumbai. The company’s CEO Tim Cook posed for photos with a crowd of Apple fans, including one man who had brought his Macintosh SE FDHD (“Floppy Disk High Density,” released in 1989) along to the grand opening celebration.

Tim Cook, Deirdre O’Brien, and Apple Store team members cheer on the crowd of excited customers gathered outside Apple BKC.

Apple BKC is the first Apple Retail Store in India. Located in Mumbai’s bustling Bandra Kurla Complex financial, arts, and entertainment district, Apple BKC serves as a dynamic space where customers can come together, explore Apple products and services, enjoy exceptional service, and learn how to get more out of their devices through free “Today at Apple” sessions.

“At Apple, our customers are at the center of everything we do, and our teams are excited to celebrate this wonderful moment with them as we open our first retail store in India,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail, in a statement. “Apple BKC is a reflection of Mumbai’s vibrant culture and brings together the best of Apple in a beautiful, welcoming space for connection and community.”

Customers, including a man with a Macintosh SE FDHD, line up outside Apple BKC for its opening.
