Apple announces its sixth retail destination in India, Apple Borivali, debuting a peacock-inspired architectural identity tailored for the Mumbai startup ecosystem.

Apple officially previewed its sixth retail location in India, Apple Borivali, scheduled to open on February 26, 2026, at 1:00 PM IST. Located in Mumbai’s Sky City Mall, the store marks a significant milestone in Apple’s rapid expansion, following 2025 openings in Bengaluru, Pune, and Noida. The store debuts a peacock-inspired visual identity, a motif first introduced at Apple Hebbal, symbolizing “confidence, meticulous craftsmanship, and a sense of arrival.” This location is strategically positioned to serve Mumbai’s northern business corridor, offering the full portfolio of Apple hardware including the M5-chip MacBook Pro and iPhone 17 series alongside specialized Business Teams dedicated to supporting the area’s burgeoning startup community.

An official Apple Store shifts the consumer experience from a transactional purchase to a lifelong ecosystem partnership. Unlike resellers, the official store provides direct access to Apple Trade In, where customers receive instant credit for eligible devices, and the Genius Bar, offering expert hardware and software support straight from the source. The store also offers exclusive services like free engraving in multiple Indian languages (Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, etc.) and Personal Setup to ensure every device is perfectly tailored to the user’s workflow before they leave the store.

Shop with a Specialist:

The Shop with a Specialist service offers a bespoke, one-on-one consultation that demystifies the technical specs of the Apple lineup. Whether you are a developer choosing between unified memory configurations or a filmmaker selecting the right lens kit for an iPhone 17 Pro, specialists provide personalized guidance based on your specific professional needs. This service can be reserved for an in-person session at Borivali or conducted via one-way video calls online, ensuring you find the “perfect fit” without the pressure of a standard retail environment.

Join and Learn: Today at Apple:

Apple Borivali will serve as a cultural classroom through Today at Apple, a series of free, daily sessions led by Apple Creatives and local artists. These sessions range from “Getting Started” workshops for new users to advanced “Photo Tours” and “Coding Labs” for students and entrepreneurs. By turning the store into a hub for inspiration, Apple fosters a community of creators who can collaborate and push the boundaries of what is possible with their devices, right in the heart of Mumbai.

The Pan-India Network: Official Apple Store Locations

As of February 2026, Apple has strategically established six flagship destinations across India’s Tier-1 hubs:

  1. Apple BKC (Mumbai): The inaugural flagship at Jio World Drive.
  2. Apple Saket (New Delhi): The capital’s primary hub at Select CITYWALK.
  3. Apple Hebbal (Bengaluru): The first peacock-themed store at Phoenix Mall of Asia.
  4. Apple Koregaon Park (Pune): Located at The KOPA, serving the IT and student elite.
  5. Apple Noida (Delhi NCR): The massive NCR expansion at DLF Mall of India.
  6. Apple Borivali (Mumbai): The latest addition at Sky City Mall (Opening Feb 26).

Trivia: The Peacock Connection

The peacock motif used in the Borivali store’s barricade design is not just for flair, it is a nod to India’s national bird, representing a blend of global technology and local heritage. This design philosophy has become the hallmark of Apple’s “New India” phase, seen only in the most recent flagship expansions in Hebbal, Koregaon Park, and Noida.

UDHQ Take: Apple Borivali represents the “Suburban Renaissance” of luxury tech. By moving beyond the traditional South Mumbai and BKC corridors, Apple is validating the growing economic clout of the city’s northern residential and business belts. For the UDHQ reader, this isn’t just a store; it’s a high-status third space that bridges the gap between a corporate office and a creative studio. Accessing global-standard retail and expert Genius support in your own backyard is the ultimate time-luxury for 2026.
