Michael Dell, founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of computer major Dell, today said its annual revenues from India were growing at 100 per cent, faster than the market rate.
“Our India business is growing 100 per cent. We are growing faster than the market, which is growing at less than 100 per cent. We see enormous opportunities for growth in India. Demand for services is very high and, in India, we are on the path of being more service focused by building expertise in various verticals. We see opportunity across the spectrum, like on how to build solutions for hospitals,” said Dell, while addressing a Nasscom-CEO conclave.
Though he did not give country-specific financial figures, the CEO said the company’s India operations had 23,000 employees, which was a great base for infrastructure management and health care services.
The headcount included the employees of US-based Perot Systems, which the computer giant had acquired last year for $3.9 billion. Dell’s total revenue in the quarter ended January 29 was $14.9 billion, an 11 per cent increase from a year ago and a 16 per cent sequential gain.
