US based Polycom turns to South India

US-based Polycom Inc, one of the largest providers of communications equipment which enables enterprise users to conduct video, voice, data and web communications, is eyeing South India for its growth and development plans. The growing demands for its products from state governments, tele-medicine and tele-education projects have spurred Plycom to shift its focus to South India.
“We are seeing a strong growth from the south in non-IT sector. Plenty of telemedicine projects are being launched. Similarly, most states are gearing up for tele-education and e-governance initiatives. Besides, the real estate sector is witnessing a boom in the south. We expect sales in South India to be on a par with the north in the coming days. To begin with, we will focus on the state capitals. Later, we will venture into secondary cities like Kochi, Madurai and Thiruvananthapuram to target the real estate and education sectors.” Polycom India Head Business (North & South) Roshan Gupta said.
At present, North India is the largest market for the company, generating 35 per cent of the business in India while South India contributes around 25 per cent with an equal spread between the western and eastern regions.
Polycom has been operating in India from 2003. Polycom’s product range includes communications servers for audio conference, monitors and cameras for video conference and networking devices and its products have been installed by most IT firms in Bangalore. The firm considers the IT sector to be its traditional market and has recently opened office in Bangalore with plans to open more branches in Chennai and Hyderabad as well.
Plycom’s products have been deployed by various central government ministries, universities, hospitals and real estate firms.
From participation in the statewide area network projects to e-governance projects in Maharashtra, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, Plycom also extends its video conferencing facility to most central jails for ‘tele justice’.
