Lexmark to restart India operations
The India operations will be headed by Kumar P Ranjan who has been appointed as Country Manager—Solutions and Services
MUMBAI,
INDIA: US-based Lexmark International is all set to restart its India
operations. If sources in the market are to be believed Lexmark will be
officially launching its operations in the first week of June.

The
India operations will be headed by Kumar P Ranjan in the capacity of
Country Manager—Solutions and Services. Ranjan will be based in Mumbai.
The national distributorship is said to remain with Bengaluru-based
Cyberstar Infocom.The launch will mark the company’s second stint in
India. Lexmark had earlier closed down its operation in early 2007.

The
reasons for closing its operations in India were said to be the
company’s reliability on only word of mouth publicity. It worked at
some level, but the company forgot to create branding among the
end-customers as well.Sources said that it was the Singapore office,
which was holding back the funds, asking its Indian team to come up
with dealers schemes or incentives.When contacted by The DQ Week,
Ranjan refused to divulge any details but confirmed the developments.
