Jet Airways CEO Reveals He Stopped Using Apple Products In 2020

Tech giant Apple opened its first retail store in India in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex area today. Excited Apple fans were seen making long queues outside the store several hours ahead of the grand opening. However, Jet Airways CEO Sanjiv Kapoor on Tuesday shared that he was once an Apple user but now he is ''solidly a Windows and Android guy.''

Mr. Kapoor also shared a throwback photo with a Macintosh and wrote that he used his first Apple product in 1986, when all the students at his ivy league college, Dartmouth, were issued Apple Macintoshes. However, he gave up Apple products almost three years ago in 2020. He used his last Apple product in 2020 before switching from iTunes to Spotify. 

''I used my first Apple product in 1986, when all students at Dartmouth were issued Apple Macintoshes. I used my last Apple product in 2020, when I switched from iTunes to Spotify. Am now solidly a Windows and Android guy. As my hero Steve Jobs once said: "Think Different,'' he wrote.

However, Kapoor did not reveal the reason behind the switch.

Meanwhile, apart from the Mumbai store, Apple will launch another one in New Delhi on April 20.  The stores' launch comes as Apple celebrates more than 25 years in India. On Monday, the company said its first two stores in the country mark a major expansion plan for the company.

"This week, as Apple celebrates more than 25 years in India, the company is marking a major expansion with the opening of its first Apple Store locations in the country, along with new environmental initiatives and a key milestone in the rapidly growing community of Indian developers," the company said in a statement.

Apple exports from India are estimated to have crossed USD 5 billion in the financial year 2022-23 which is about half of the total exports of "Made In India" phones.
