Fujitsu to expand product portfolio in India

IT and communication solutions provider Fujitsu India today said it would introduce notebooks and desktops in the next 4-6 weeks as it looks to strengthen its presence in the Indian market.

"We would introduce a range of products in the next 4-6 weeks, including notebooks for the consumer segment. Though the initial focus would remain on the enterprise segment, we would also look at the consumer segment," Fujitsu India Chief Executive Officer Pallab Talukdar told reporters here.

The company, which is a part of Germany-based Fujitsu Technology Solutions, currently offers notebooks under the 'Lifebook' series for the corporate and 'Amilo' and 'Esprimo' for the consumer and enterprise users globally.

Fujitsu would also look at building its team in India. "We currently have about 60 people as a part of the India team and would definitely look at increasing that," Talukdar said declining to give specific numbers.

Talking about the Indian market, Talukdar said, "We have been here for 2-3 years and feel that this is the time to grow. The economic recession is a minor blip and figures by IDC and Gartner show that despite muted growth for IT products globally, the Indian market is projected to double itself in the coming years."

The Indian entity would also leverage services from Fujitsu Consulting, which is the company's service delivery arm servicing customers in the North American and European markets.

The company is aiming to increase its volume and enterprise solutions business by expanding its portfolio of servers, storage, desktops, notebook, workstations and peripherals in the Indian market.

"The focus would be on introducing products as well as offering services," he said.

Fujitsu Group has a presence in over 70 countries, including the US, Europe, Middle East, Africa and South Asia.
