Dell Experiences Sizzling Growth In India

Global computer manufacturing giant Dell experienced sizzling growth in India during the quarter ending June, capturing the top spot in the branded PC market in that country from Hewlett Packard, which has traditionally been the top selling manufacturer in India for five consecutive years.

Dell’s President for global consumer, small and medium business Steve Felice, said that revenue from India during the quarter rose 77 per cent, whilst unit shipments leapt by 90 per cent compared with the same time period in the previous year.

Mr. Felice said that growth in India was now originating from the consumer and small and medium business segment.

“We have been consistently No. 1 in market share in the large enterprise segment. Now we are beginning to see a similar performance in the other segments,” he said.

Mr. Felice claims that in the consumer segment, the Round Rock Texas based company was only a percentage point behind traditional market leader HP, and that India now delivered $1 billion in revenue for the company.

The momentum in Dell sales has continued to grow ever since it first set up a manufacturing facility in India four years ago. According to Mr. Felice Dell has no need to expand its capacity in the country, since it had more than enough existing capacity from its current facility.

Dell Australia is the second ranked computer manufacturer in Australia.
