IN TODAY'S rapidly evolving digital world, enterprises are reimagining how technology is deployed, utilized, and scaled. For Lenovo India, the focus extends well beyond its identity as the world's leading PC maker. The company is carving out a larger role as a trusted partner, delivering comprehensive solutions that span devices, infrastructure, services, cybersecurity, and AI.

Driving this strategic shift at Lenovo India is Rohit Midha, the Executive Director of Enterprise Business. He is the driving force behind the company's end-to-end growth and innovation, leveraging AI to unlock opportunities across all business lines. With his extensive experience and previous leadership roles, he has consistently advanced Lenovo's transformation, market share, and client relationships.

In a recent interaction with Jatinder Singh, Editor, CIO & Leader, Midha discussed Lenovo's shift from hardware supplier to trusted solutions partner, the challenges CIOs face in transitioning AI from pilots to production, the importance of consolidation without vendor lock-in, and why sustainability is finally becoming a business imperative.

CIO&Leader: Lenovo has long been associated with PCs. How are you reshaping customer perception and broadening your role in India?

ROHIT MIDHA: Globally, Lenovo is structured into three core business units. First, the Intelligent Devices Group (IDG) encompasses laptops, PCs, tablets, and Motorola devices. Second, the Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG), which emerged from our IBM x86 acquisition and focuses on data center and server solutions. And third, the Solutions and Services Group (SSG), which is brand-agnostic and works closely with CIOs to deliver business outcomes.
