    Unfortunately, Apple’s marketshare in India is tiny, so they can leave without too much loss.

    Also, India is now the world’s most populous country. :-(

      That also means that there’s still a huge potential for growth, before competitors reel in their potential customers. If they let other manufacturers divide the market among themselves, it may be harder to gain market share later.
