Two days after Apple opened its first India store at the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, CEO Tim Cook did the honours at Apple Saket at the Select Citywalk Mall in New Delhi.
Cook must have been startled at the rock star reception he received wherever he went -- at the Mumbai and Delhi stores or at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi on Thursday night which he visited briefly to take in the sounds and smells of an IPl game.
