As the new country manager, India/SAARC region, of
the $5.6-billion networking giant 3Com Corp., Atul Kunwar, 36, has the
mandate to establish it as a leading supplier of advanced networking services and
solutions. "The domestic networking market has already shifted to the growth phase.
ISP privatisation and telecom infrastructure liberalisation will further boost the market
growth." To tap the potential, Kunwar plans to upgrade the liaison office into a
wholly owned subsidiary by June. It would also be the hub of 3Com's operations in
countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. Kunwar thinks networking is all about
information access and making it available to all levels of people-from employees to CEOs
to partners and suppliers. "In the past two years, we have gained leadership position
in the country. This combined with 3Com's end-to-end product offering, is ideally suited
to make networking happen in India. 3 Cheers for that.
