What is your core strength as a leader?
Core strength as a leader is to understand the channel dynamics thoroughly and also the process driven approach.
Experienced in building channel eco-system, team player and an ability to identify & maximize the potential of team members are the core strength as a leader.
What are your future plans to further grow the channel market in 2017 – any particular strategy from geography or vertical perspective are you planning?
The way we see the channel ecosystem evolving , we see an imminent need for the partners to understand that future is technology driven and not price driven . Zicom will do its bit on educating the channel and also giving them opportunity to build a services business on top of the hardware business for them to be able to differentiate themselves . Help the channel partners build a healthy business model for growing their enterprises This will involve various ways of educating and engaging with the partners and we will be rolling out these in Q1 of 2018
