Hey @IndiGo6E This is the 3rd delay for a flight which was supposed to take off at 9:15pm. Can you provide more clarity about the delay than a vague "operational reasons" explanation every time?

@LakhyaniKailash put the cannibalization fear to rest: "Mainline retailers view these stores as brand image builders. They create aspiration that benefits the entire ecosystem." "Resellers became fulfillment centers, not casualties" says @heyitsyogesh Win-win, not zero-sum.

@fainalysis nailed it: These aren't just stores: "Apple pioneered experiential marketing. Emotional connects are fine, but experiential connects create unbreakable brand preferences."

@prabhu_ram sees Pune differently: "Crucial long-term play capturing next-gen loyal customers." Students + EMI culture = ecosystem lock-in through iPads, AirPods, Watches. Lower ASP, massive footfall.

@heyitsyogesh's bold prediction: "Bengaluru could outperform Delhi from day one. Tech capital + high-income professionals + startup ecosystem = insane Pro iPhone & MacBook velocity."

@Tarunpathak from @CounterPointTR laid out the math: Top 5 cities contribute 21-22% of premium sales. "That's exactly where Apple has started to open." Mumbai ✓ Delhi ✓ Bangalore ✓ Pune ✓ Hyderabad (next?)

@navkendarsingh from @IDC told me: 7 out of 10 #iPhones in India now sell through financing. Inside #Apple Stores, that financing becomes frictionless. ASP jumps 8-12% higher than national average. #AppleStore

The fact that AS exists without a legal ordinance is in itself illegal. I'm not sure if the Epidemic Act allows the creation of such an app in the first place. But I've heard policy think tanks say this app is illegal at the moment.

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that the government is digging a deeper hole for itself the more it talks about the app. Don't challenge hackers, don't try to use PR terms like "privacy by design” with this. It'll only hurt you.
