India is going to be a $6-trillion economy by 2020, with 2.50 lakh gram panchayat, it brings huge opportunity. In India, this growth will be very high as the data access to citizens is growing at a faster pace, with the New Telecom Policy as it is connecting all gram panchayats in the country with cheap internet connectivity. He has emphasised on the growth of CISCO in India, just only 5 IT/ITeS companies are using 2.19 billion Webex minutes a year and half a million of developers are developing on the top of WEBEX solutions and with this combined solutions being offered by CISCO, the growth opportunity in India seems exponential and the focused sectors are BFSI , enterprise, Smart city projects and SME segments in India.
The network and network security is very much critical for every organisation as it helps in unlocking the power of data and this will have time value by extracting info out of it. It is no longer on premise or on cloud environment. It is all about multi-cloud environment, and the core focus of CISCO to ensure security to the data and India business is leading with our software strategy transformation and seen the growth of 40%, Sameer said.
