Apple only wants to use India to sell its stuff, particularly old model goods. It has avoided for longest time to provide Apple service through its own stores. It uses reseller network that is not the same as having own stores and service. Now this is amazing that Apple won't accept returns in India when Apple goods bought via Amazon can be returned in India!

India is a terrible place to run a business, Apple's taking the right approach.

Wasn’t India imposing a rule that foreign companies needed to source 30% of the goods they sell locally to open their own stores? Apple is trying to open stores in select markets in India but 30% is a high bar to meet.
