Dell puts AI and security first for SMBS

India’s SMB sector has long been the engine of economic growth and digital transformation. Recognising their evolving needs, Dell Technologies has introduced the Dell Pro Essential 14-inch and 15-inch laptops, devices engineered for reliability, security and intelligent performance.

In an exclusive conversation with DQ Channels, Indrajit Belgundi, Sr. Director & GM, Client Solutions Group, Dell Technologies, India discusses the launch of Dell Pro Essential 14-inch and 15-inch laptops, highlighting AI and security as Dell’s vision.

“SMB customers are one of the key drivers of India’s economic growth. We wanted to ensure we offer them the right product with the right features, built from their feedback and use cases,” said Indrajit Belgundi

With the new Dell Pro Essential range, Dell aims to provide SMBs with affordable yet enterprise-grade technology, combining AI-driven performance, robust security and sustainable design.

Balancing performance and purpose: key features that matter

The devices feature the Dell Manageability Suite ensuring seamless device deployment and management across business environments. “Our core tenets – security, management and reliability – remain intact,” Belgundi added.
