Suresh Vaswani, former Wipro joint CEO, has been appointed chairman of Dell India and chief of applications and business process outsourcing organisation of Dell Services.

Vaswani at Dell Serivces will report to Steve Schuckenbrock, the president of Dell Services.

Vaswani's focus will be to build next generation service offerings and grow Dell’s process capabilities on a global basis across multiple industry verticals, service offerings and market segments, personal computer major Dell said in a statement today.

"Dell has a great presence in India and I look to enhancing its tremendous global delivery model to make Dell a leading technology solutions provider in India and reinforce its position as an employer of choice," Vaswani said.

 

The Dell Services Applications and Business Process Outsourcing organisation includes more than 15,000 team members globally.

This division was created after Dell acquired Perot Systems for $3.9 billion in 2009. Over the last two years, Dell Services' revenues have grown to $7.7 billion and India is an important market for the entity.

In his role as chairman of Dell India, Vaswani will carry the responsibility of enhancing Dell’s global delivery capabilities and expanding the company’s presence in the Indian IT market.

In January this year, Vaswani along with his colleague Girish Paranjpe had to left country's third largest IT company Wipro as Joint CEO. The decision was taken after Wipro opted for restructuring of management system from joint CEO structure to single CEO structure.

TK Kurien was appointed CEO of Wipro after Vaswani and Paranjpe moved out of Wipro.
