Talking about the tie up, Sunil Kakkad, CMD- Sai Infosystems stated, “Sai
Infosystems has been into system integration business for quite some time now.
However, we are now looking at diversifying into telecom space. Even though the
concept of video conferencing has been prevalent within the corporates, the high
equipment and service costs have discouraged the common people to adopt video
conferencing and enjoy its benefits further. Sai will ensure that Video
Communication services are made affordable for the masses.”
The tie-up will see Sai Infosystems offer value added services on wire-line
as well as wireless medium. While the connectivity for the service will be
provided by BSNL, the service will be provided and marketed by Sai. In addition,
a wide range of phone equipments from simple to high end models have also been
introduced in the market. The launch will be done in a phased manner across
North and West India. Initially with bigger cities like Ahmedabad and the state
capitals will be covered and gradually it will be introduced in North and West
India.
In addition to this, the company has chalked out several growth plans that
will see it strengthen its own brand of PCs and laptops further. Sai already has
a Rs 10,000 desktop and Rs 15,000 laptop as part of its product portfolio and
will be introducing Rs 10,000 laptop by the end of September this year.
Following the launch, Sai will strengthen its retail presence by entering into
partnership with LFR's and SFR's.
“We have around 400 support engineers on board and our technical expertise
will help us penetrate into the upcounÂtry market further,”added Kakkad.
