RAVI SWAMINATHAN...
President, Personal Systems Group, HP India Man behind Compaq garu’s triumph
Your tech buddy, Ravi Swaminathan is the man who is exclusively credited to bring Consumer PC business in India way back in 1995 when he joined Compaq India. An IIM Ahmedabad alumnus and a chemical technologist, Ravi as the President of HP India, shares countrywide responsibility for the entire range of consumer and commercial PCs, laptops, workstations & emerging personal access devices, including handhelds. Under his leadership, the company has multiplied sales and revenues from its India operations, from mere 100 units per month to thousands of units every month. Ravi believes that the Indian market is growing and would mature in coming years, but as for him and his company, there is still a long-long way to go with more of HP and Compaq coming the customer’s way. “As market leaders, we must grow the market,” believes Ravi, who is striving hard to bring down the price barrier so that the mass market can embrace computing on the move. An avid book lover, this one is now leading an aggressive go-to-market strategy in India, which will help take HP to the next level in this still nascent market.
