AMD Opens its First Brand Shop in India

By Sharmee Roy
New Delhi, Nov 6, 2004


Kick-starting its retail initiative, AMD Far East has opened its first brand shop in the country to display its entire range of products.
This brand shop is set up in association with the vendor's long-time partner, SMC International, at Nehru Place, the IT hub of Delhi.

Speaking to ChannelTimes, Sanjeev Keskar, country manager, AMD Far East, said, "We were thinking on the lines of opening our brand shop for the last couple of quarters, and SMC was chosen since it has been associated with us since a very long time."

Keskar added, "This brand shop will provide a 'touch and feel' experience to customers while providing them with brand information and our technological superiority."

After Delhi, the vendor intends to open about six to seven brand shops across the country beginning next year, including metros like Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai.

According to Keskar, AMD will announce the launch of its notebooks in the market by the end of the quarter. "For our BTO notebooks, we have evolved our strategy and we would be working with two to three partners in the country. Currently, we are working on the pricing of these notebooks."

The vendor is also looking to rope in a third party for its service support before the middle of next year.
What do you think of AMD's retail initiative?

  Your prices are higher that what one can get in the market from other shops in NP. Be more consistent in your pricing.
