Avaya has appointed Jangoo Dalal as the new Managing Director
for India.
Based in Mumbai, Dalal will report to John DiLullo, President
for Asia Pacific. In this new role, Dalal is tasked with driving
Avaya’s overall business strategy in India and strengthening
its position in its core areas of unified communications and
contact center solutions.
This is a newly created role for Avaya. The company has so far
relied upon its majority-owned subsidiary, Avaya Global Connect, as
its sole route to market in India. In addition to ensuring the
successful operations of AGCL, Dalal will also be chartered with
forging Avaya’s entry into existing and emerging Indian
markets and channels.
“India is a critical market for Avaya. Jangoo’s
experience in building high-performance teams, his extensive
knowledge of the industry, and his proven ability to drive growth
made him the perfect candidate to expand Avaya’s presence in
the region. I am confident his appointment will be applauded by our
customers, partners, and employees alike,” said DiLullo.
Prior to joining Avaya, Dalal served as CEO and Managing
Director for D-Link India and before that he spent 10 years in
various roles at Cisco Systems including donning the post of
President, India and South Asia.
“I am excited about this new role and look forward to
building a strong team which will take Avaya to the next level.
With business models and practices going through radical changes
that increasingly rely on ubiquitous communication and distributed
communication technologies, Avaya is well-poised to partner with
Indian businesses as they pursue aggressive global growth
strategies,” said Dalal.
