However, Apple's 11-year deal with the Ambani-owned mall in Mumbai has a strict barricade against all its rivals. The tech giant has leased an ‘exclusive zone’ in the mall, which would bar 22 competing brands, including Facebook, LG, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Sony, and others, from occupying space or displaying any advertisement. In addition, the licensor would not be allowed to grant any licenses, sublicenses, leases, subleases or any other agreements to the brand's rivals.
