Cook's eclectic itineraries: Vada paav with Madhuri; biz meets with Ambanis

Ahead of the opening of Apple's maiden retail store in India, the company's chief executive Tim Cook arrived in the financial capital on Monday. Cook, who has visited India multiple times in the past, is also likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. On Day one, Cook visited richest Indian Mukesh Ambani's house Antilla for a business meeting and is said to have met other top industrialists, including Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran. Company executives, however, dodged queries on Cook's itineraries during his India tour. On Monday afternoon, Cook himself confirmed his arrival by tweeting a picture with over 100 employees inside the brand's store in BKC business district, which will open for customers on Tuesday. He also managed time to have Wada paav, the much celebrated local snack, with actor Madhuri Dixit at an eatery which is Ambani family's favourite. Cook thanked Dixit for introducing him to the Wada paav at the multi-cuisine joint, terming the food item
