Avaya named Jangoo  Dalal as its new MD for India. In this new role, Dalal
will be driving Avaya's overall business strategy in India and strengthening its
position in its core areas of unified communications, includ-ing its leadership
in the Contact Center space in India. On May 28, The DQ Week was the first to
break the news about Dalal's resignation from D-Link.

Based in Mumbai, Dalal will report to John DiLullo, President-Asia Pacific,
Avaya.

“India is a critical market for Avaya. Jangoo's experience in building
high-performance teams, his extensive knowledge of the industry, and his proven
ability to drive growth made him the perfect candidate to expand Avaya's
presence in the region. I am confident that his appointment will be applauded by
our customers, partners and employees alike,” said DiLullo.

Prior to joining Avaya, Dalal served as CEO and MD for D-Link India, where he
led a force of over 1,000 sales, service, manufactur-ing and engineering
employees. Before joining D-Link, Dalal worked for over 10 years at Cisco
Systems, ultimately culmi-nating in the position of President, India and South
Asia Region. He was the Head of Product Management of Wipro BT before joining
Cisco.

In addition to nourishing and ensuring the successful operations of AGCL, in
this newly created role, Dalal will also be chartered with forging Avaya's entry
into existing and emerging India markets and channels.

“I am excited about this new role and look forward to building a strong team
which will take Avaya to the next level. With business models and practices
going through radical changes that increasingly rely on ubiquitous communication
and distributed comm-unication technologies, Avaya is well-poised to partner
with Indian businesses,” said Dalal.
