By contrast, Cook visited India in May this year and sees it as an important market for Apple. And while it is too early to say that he has reversed Jobs's benign neglect, he has taken the first step. He launched an accelerator to support developers creating innovative mobile apps in Bengaluru, and opened a new office in Hyderabad that will focus on development of Maps for Apple products, including the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Both the investments are good though Cook did not disclose the amount of the investment, only mentioning that it is likely to accelerate Maps development and create up to 4,000 jobs. Cook also met the PM to seek the government's approval to open local retail stores.
