Canon India today said it expects 20% growth in its office imaging solutions division's revenues to Rs 350 crore in 2011.
"India continues to build strong consumption, as well as investment momentum. With sustained 9% GDP growth, we should begin to witness higher level of entrepreneurial depth," Canon India Senior Vice-President Alok Bharadwaj said in a statement.
Bharadwaj mentioned that India Inc prints and copies over 60 billion documents a year, translating into a cost of Rs 10,000 crore a year, which is growing at 20% per annum.
Canon India recently announced plans to merge its enterprise solutions division for large enterprises and channel network for the SME segment into one division, called the office imaging solutions (OIS) division.
"We expect this division to grow revenues by 20% to touch Rs 350 crore in 2011. This newly formed division will have 162 sales and marketing staff," Bharadwaj said.
The company today announced the appointment of K Bhashkar as the director of the office imaging solution (OIS) division.
This business-to-business division was one of the major contributors to Canon's overall business in 2010, contributing more than 25% to the total revenue.
