Apple Inc. is preparing to open its first flagship retail stores in India and has begun hiring retail store workers. Apple has plans to fill other roles as the technology company prepares to open stores in the country, Financial Times reported.

The company’s careers page has listed several different opportunities for workers in India, including business expert, “genius,” operations expert and technical specialist.

Apple’s website currently shows over a hundred results for job positions in India. Meanwhile, at least five people on LinkedIn announced they have been hired for the yet-to-be-announced Apple retail stores in India.

The Cupertino, California-based tech giant has long planned to set up physical retail locations in India, one of the world’s fastest-growing smartphone markets. While the company in 2020 began direct sales online, plans for brick-and-mortar stores have not yet materialized.
