Media Person: What about products?

Wipro branded Personal Computing business increased by 26% YoY Enterprise platforms/networking revenues grew by 33% YoY. The key thing about our products business is unlike market perception that our PC business is a drain on the company, we have been successfully been able to focus this business on the SMB sector and also on non-metro and out location geographies and get greater penetration into those accounts where we have not done any business. So, WPC has provided us an entry into these accounts.

Media Person: What is the progress in Asia Pacific and the Middle East markets?

Suresh Vaswani: Continued Investment in building the Software and Services business in APAC & ME has paid rich dividends this quarter. Our growth in the region is 36% YoY during the quarter and 85% for the year. During the quarter we won 23 projects (ME 10 and APAC 13) in the region.

Media Person: How do you see the market in India next year?

We have in the last couple of years have made the right moves and investments to capitalize on this growth phase and move towards leadership in the domestic market place. Our innovation initiatives last year has given us 15 new services that we can offer to the market apart from what we are currently offering. Some of the key ones in this are ATM Outsourcing, RFID, dealer management system, retail automation specific to petroleum companies.
