Cook, on his first trip to India in seven years, opened Apple's first retail store in the country in Mumbai on Tuesday and launched another in Delhi on Thursday
"Thank you Prime Minister @narendramodi for the warm welcome. We share your vision of the positive impact technology can make on India's future from education and developers to manufacturing and the environment, we're committed to growing and investing across the country," he tweeted with a picture of him shaking hands with PM Modi
"An absolute delight to meet you, @tim_cook! Glad to exchange views on diverse topics and highlight the tech-powered transformations taking place in India," Prime Minister also tweeted on meeting Apple CEO
Looking to replicate what China did to Apple's business in the last 15 years, the tech giant is eyeing India's massive market with an expanding middle class to power sales growth, and potentially make it a home base for the production of millions of Apple devices
Cook had last visited India in 2016 when the tech giant was just beginning to scale up operations in the country
