IDC names Fortinet as the No.1 in UTM in India for Q4 2010 and the full year of 2010. In order to maintain its market leadership, Fortinet pursues its expansion in India with the appointment of two new Sales Directors, Digvijaysinh Chudasama and Saurabh Chopra, both security market veterans, whose responsibility will be to accelerate market penetration in the following strategic verticals: Government, Defense and Telecommunications.
“The UTM market is recognized as the fastest growing segment of the network security market. In order to maintain market leadership in this rapidly growing and increasingly competitive landscape, it’s critical for us to continue to focus on our technology value proposition and innovation, but also to affirm our strong commitment in the Indian market by increasing our sales and support resources to guarantee customer satisfaction and sustain our growth,” said Vishak Raman, Regional Director for India and SAARC, Fortinet.
In order to deliver on its strategy of more high-end focused sales, Fortinet has added two senior industry specialists to its India team to support and grow business opportunities through the adoption of a vertical sales strategy approach.
Vishak Raman commented, “One of my top priorities in India & SAARC is to accelerate high-end market penetration, focusing on the key telco and government verticals, which both represent a strong business opportunity with the increased pressure on regulations on one side and the advent of 3G and Wimax technologies on the other side. Saurabh Chopra and Digvijaysinh Chudasama together bring strong expertise to those sectors and I’m confident they’ll be able to successfully drive our business strategy in India."
