Ending his 10-year association with networking major Cisco Systems earlier last month, industry veteran - Jangoo Dalal has assumed responsibility as the managing director and chief executive officer for another networking biggie - D-Link India.
Following this appointment, K. R. Naik, the current chairman and managing director, will assume the role of the executive chairman and continue to define and lead the company's growth strategy across the region.

While commenting on his new role, K. R. Naik said, "As the executive chairman, I would continue to help the company explore new opportunities in expanding our portfolio both geographically and through new products and technologies."

Bringing people from cisco again & again is not going to help dlink in anyway.Other networking vendors are taking away the once dlink market share. SI's /resellers are not interested anymore in pitching or quoting or selling dlink as they are not able to make money. |

Congrats D-Link!!!
D-Link has been seeing many changes in the management/marketing team in the past but the channel does not seem to be very happy about it.
This move of D-Link appears to be be smart but my personal opinion is the channel shall wait and watch, what is good in this for the channel...
My best wishes for KRN and his team... |
