Apple CEO Tim Cook Likely To Meet PM Modi
Apple Chief Tim Cook is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to a Reuters report. Cook will also meet with Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the deputy IT minister, according to sources cited in the Reuters report. The meeting with Modi, according to the source, which includes a government official, is scheduled for Wednesday in Delhi. Nonetheless, the PM's office or the public authority of India is yet to affirm something similar.

The retail stores that Apple is planning to open in Mumbai and Delhi will be located in the second-largest smartphone market in the world. On Monday, the Apple BKC store in Mumbai opened its doors to a select few for a private event. On Tuesday, the store opened to the general public.
