Apple CEO Tim Cook is on his maiden visit to India as Apple’s CEO. We reported his agenda for his 4 day trip which includes announcing an Apple incubator and development centre in Bangalore, a Maps centre in Hyderabad and hobnobbing with the government regarding policy around Apple iPhones. He would be meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow. He’s even met up with the founders of Indian startups Urban Clap, amongst others.

However, Cook is making the best of his India visit by partying with the Indian swish list that includes Bollywood royalty. Bollywood superstar Shahrukh hosted a grand gala for the Apple honcho at his house, Mannat last night.
Everyone from Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai to Sania Mirza and AR Rehman were in attendance.
SRK posted some tweets about this party, ensuring his billion+ following knew the power house the party was.
