From Apple’s press release:

Apple® today announced a new initiative to support engineering talent and accelerate growth in India’s iOS developer community.

The company will establish a Design and Development Accelerator in Bengaluru, the home of India’s startup scene. Tens of thousands of developers in India make apps for iOS, the world’s most powerful mobile operating system and the foundation for iPhone®, iPad® and iPod touch®. This initiative will provide additional, specialized support for them.

And:

Each week, Apple experts will lead briefings and provide one-on-one app reviews for developers.

And:

Bengaluru is now home to more technology startups than any other part of India. Over one million people in the city work in the tech sector, and over 40 percent of graduates from local universities specialize in engineering or information technology.

Apple is continuing their pattern of investing locally, both in iOS development accelerators, and in partnering with local businesses (see the accelerator announcements in Indonesia, Italy, Brazil, and the Didi investment in China).
