Apple To Launch Startup Accelerator, Three Apple Stores In India, Says Report (factordaily.com) 22
Apple plans to set up three of its own retail stores -- the iconic Apple Store -- in India, reports FactorDaily. The stores will be setup in Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai in the next 18 months. The report adds that Apple also plans to unveil a startup accelerator in the country which would incubate ideas largely around apps built for iOS. The publication claims that these announcements will be made public later this week when Apple CEO Tim Cook visits India. With the growth of iPhone sales starting to decline, and India being one of the handful places to show an increasingly growing interest in its phone, Apple has shifted its focus in the recent months to actively target Indian market.

Here's three crowdsourced ideas to start:
- Bovine HotrNot: rate and find the best looking cows on the street
- Roof-n-Go: last-minute booking of busses with available hang-onto-the-side and roof seating
- MyNameIsTed: while you are at your call-center job, this reminds you which Western name you were assigned and which company you are currently taking calls for so you can answer the phone correctly

the point is how can a company claim to be against a state for doing something that is "anti LGBT" while setting up shops in places where even being LGBT is totally illegal.

It is actually not just illegal but unconsitutional. http://www.slate.com/blogs/out... [slate.com]
But don't let that sway your talking points.
Apple refuses to go to NC because a) they can b) it's illegal
I'm sure the next step once Apple sets up shop in India is that they'll push to make things more progressive.
Being LGBT in India is not illegal - it's still being judged link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... [wikipedia.org]
Homosexuality is mostly a taboo subject in Indian civil society and for the government. Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code makes sex with persons of the same gender punishable by law. On 2 July 2009, in Naz Foundation v. Govt. of NCT of Delhi, the Delhi High Court held that provision to be unconstitutional with respect to sex between consenting adults, but the Supreme Court of India overturned that ruling on 11 December 2013, stating that the court was instead deferring to Indian legislators to provide the sought-after clarity.[1] On 2 February 2016, however, the Supreme Court agreed to reconsider its judgment, stating it would refer petitions to abolish Section 377 to a five-member constitutional bench, which would conduct a comprehensive hearing of the issue.[2]

Three Stores for all of India? Only one for BLR? (Score:1)
I'm sure the owners of the Imagine stores in the UB City and Garuda malls in Bangalore are quaking in their boots. To say nothing of the other stores selling Apple products.
OTOH a genuine Apple Store will fit in nicely between the Lamborghini, Audi, and Mercedes dealerships in downtown Bangalore. In between shopping for an Aventador, R8, or AMG GT S you can pick up some nice Apple bling.
Oh, you thought there were only poor people in India or something?
