India and Saarc, talks about the Chennai plant, the small and mediumsized business (SMB) segment, and the techspending environment in an interview with Ayushman Baruah in Bengaluru. Edited excerpts: Where is India in Cisco's growth story now? We have 15,500 direct employees in India.
Then, we have people working for Cisco exclusively through our partners. So, roughly we are about 30,000 in total, combining the direct and indirect employment. Manufacturing is expected to add another 1,200 orso jobs at the Chennai plant. People are a big part of our strategy and India continues to be an important site. We have gone from strength to strength here. The only capability which we did not have here was manufacturing and that too has been announced. So, the company continues to be very bullish about India as a market and as a place where Cisco can create impact. India is among the top 10 markets for Cisco globally. And we expect to be among the top five markets in the next few years.
Have products been rolled out from your Chennai manufacturing plant yet?
