Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company has announced plans to initiate manufacturing of its diverse product portfolio in the fast-growing networking domain in India. The move, which aims to support the Make in India and Digital India initiatives, will also strengthen the Company\u2019s existing R&D capabilities. Aruba is amongst the fastest growing providers of wired and wireless networking solutions in the country.<\/p>\n
Over the last five years, Aruba has invested close to $300 million USD in India towards product development at its facilities in Bengaluru and Chennai. Going forward, the company plans to increase investment in technology manufacturing capabilities. The products manufactured in India, will initially be targeted for the local market, but will eventually be exported to other countries, thereby making India an export hub for the company.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe\u00a0fast-growing\u00a0Indian\u00a0economy and \u00a0highly skilled talent pool are critical to the growth of Aruba worldwide. We are committed to fostering the development of the country and\u00a0its\u00a0people, through expanding manufacturing in the region.\u00a0It is a matter of great pride for me personally\u00a0to lead Aruba and to\u00a0play a foundational role in its success.\u00a0 Data and connectivity\u00a0are\u00a0catalysts\u00a0for growth in India, and Aruba is\u00a0excited\u00a0to play an important role in the growth story.We are already investing about $60M USD annully in R&D\u00a0and this will grow,\u201d said\u00a0Keerti Melkote, Co-founder and President of Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are fortunate to have such a rich ecosystem of product development, software development and innovation in India,\u201d said Santanu Ghose, Director \u2013 India, Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. \u201cJAM \u2013 jan-dhan, Aadhar, and mobile-connectivity have been hailed as the building blocks for economic growth as we march towards being a $3 trillion economy by 2020.\u00a0 Ubiquitous data connectivity will play a big role in this growth story, and Aruba, with its strong intellectual property and mobile-first philosophy, is ideally poised to facilitate this growth.\u00a0 The manufacturing capability in India will give us added advantages to rapidly innovate networking solutions that will also deliver benefits and new experiences for other parts of the world as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Vivek Singh, BHU, Varanasi said \u201cWi-Fi network infrastructure is now a key enabler of technological empowerment for Indian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). I am quite hopeful that Aruba’s plan to start network hardware manufacturing in India will be a significant step towards localization, improving cost structures and enhancing the overall user experience. This will help ensure the rapid development and acceleration of the digital transformation process of Indian HEIs\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Make in India and Digital India initiatives\u00a0aim to\u00a0blend the digital and physical worlds by uniting people, services, and devices. This requires seamless last mile connectivity, which can be enabled by a robust, reliable Wi-Fi infrastructure. This infrastructure can also enable the delivery of vocational\/professional training to citizens, thereby driving employability and entrepreneurship. Moreover, the Wi-Fi infrastructure can offer services beyond connectivity, including Location Services, Emergency Response Systems, and Crowd Management.<\/p>\n
India is set to be one of the largest consumers of Wi-Fi outdoor solutions in the foreseeable future. By manufacturing wireless products in India, Aruba will be able to design and customize these for the unique market requirements and also offer troubleshooting services with ease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
