The Hindu Business Line : Dell to invest more in India

AUSTIN (Texas): World's No. 2 personal computer maker Dell on Thursday said it would invest more in India in the coming years to commensurate with the growth of its products here, adding it expects strong demands in this part of the world to continue.

Mr Micheal Dell, CEO of the company said, "Indian market is growing.. our investment in India grew close to 100 per cent. We expect to keep investing in India. We have extensive activity here - software development, manufacturing, IT growth. "For the la st seven-eight years, our business and workforce in India grew tremendously. We expect the growth to continue so also the investment to commensurate with the growth," Mr Dell told the visiting Asia Pacific media here. He did not give any specific figure s on the investment or expected growth numbers.

Even as Dell is cutting down workforce globally on its path to post higher profit, the company is unlikely to undertake such measures in India and China where it is seeing strong growth to boost its topline.

Dell, which lost the number one PC maker slot to arch-rival HP last year, is focusing on the markets such as China and India to drive the growth. - PTI
