Hi Tim:
I think our friend Greg was one of the first ones to predict this here on the thread a few months ago.
=============================
BEIJING, Nov 04, 1998 (Asia Pulse via COMTEX) -- Dell Computer Coporation, the world's leading direct computer systems company, is keen on entering India, the fastest-growing personal computer market in Asia, company founder Michael S Dell said.
"We are seriously considering when and how to enter the Indian market, " Dell who is also the chairman and chief executive officer of Dell Computer Corporation told the Press Trust of India (PTI).
Dell, who launched Dell's China customer centre, an integrated sales and manufacturing facility and customer call centre in the southeastern port city of Xiamen, however, did not give any time-frame for his Texas-based company's entry into India.
President of Dell's Asia Pacific region, John J Legere, was more specific on Dell's plans in India.
Anybody who is doing business in Asia, who wants to achieve global scale, needs to achieve a prominent position in the market that homes 1.2 billion and 900 million people, Legere said with regard to the booming PC markets of China and India. Dell has aleady made its presence felt in India through a series of distributors to serve the company's global customers present in India, he said.
So far, the regulatory and legal structure in India with regard to foreign companies coming in and setting up manufacturing and assembling capabilities is still undergoing evolution, Legere added.
