response in India," stated Mohd. Mazharul Islam, the company's Mana-ging
Director for Middle East, Asia and Africa. Islam is currently camping in Delhi

team of 10 headed by a General Manager for our Delhi office," he informed.

service its products. Its range of product includes digital media business

India is huge. "We are looking at good volumes. According to our
