Cisco eyeing India growth: CEO
Financial Express Lucknow
|July 10, 2025
GLOBALTECH GIANT Cisco is keen to continue expanding its footprint in India across manufacturing and research, but is cautious about further investment until global trade uncertainties ease, chairman and CEO Chuck Robbins said.
The firm said its local operations have exceeded internal expectations and positioned India as a viable export base within its global supply chain.
"I think the global trade dynamics right now need to sort of get settled down so we actually can think through how it impacts our long-term plans. But obviously, India is a big part of it," Robbins said.
The company began manufacturing in India around 18 months ago with one product and has since added two more, including a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. One of these products is now manufactured solely in India and exported globally, though he did not mention which. He also did not give details on the product line-up for future manufacturing in India, but reiterated Cisco's commitment to continue focus on India as a manufacturing hub.

'A rate hike not warranted at this stage; no stagflation risk
The economy has moved away from its “Goldilocks” phase amid the crude shock, but stagflation risks remain low, and a rate hike is not warranted at this stage, MPC member Ram Singh tells Kshipra Petkar.
