Desi iPhone production to help India; Apple to reportedly create 6 lakh jobs
Apple is expected to double down on hiring employees in the Indian market, potentially creating about 6 lakh jobs by the fiscal year-end. This move is likely an effort to reduce its dependence on China for manufacturing. Moreover, by the end of March next year, Apple's workforce is expected to comprise 2 lakh roles, with women making up about 70% of it. So far, Apple's three iPhone manufacturers in India—Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron—have already created 80,872 direct jobs, with other suppliers creating another 84,000, ET reported, quoting sources.
