Arkadin has announced its aggressive plans for the Indian market which include increasing its employee strength in India from 45 to 60 by 2011 and tie-ups with Indian telecom service operators.
Olivier de Puymorin, founder and CEO of Arkadin said, "India is a strategic market for Arkadin. Indian businesses are increasingly using conferencing as it results in time and resource management and of course, cost savings. We see an immense business potential here and our business is poised to grow considering the fact that the Indian economy is getting stronger by the day, business environment is favorable and the research indicates that the market size (for audio and video conferencing put together) is going to get almost tripled in 2016 than what it was about an year back. All of this gives us more credible reasons for eyeing the Indian market aggressively."
The company had started its Indian operations in 2008 in partnership with ConferIndia and since then it has expanded its direct office network in the country to Noida, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Pune. Arkadin ConferIndia now has 600 plus customers in India which include names of repute like Pepsico, Nokia, Volvo, Suzlon, Bharti, Whirlpool, Aditya Birla Group, Shell, L&T etc. The Company also established its 24x7 global customer support centre in Noida besides local access from 15 cities in India.
The tie-up with the Indian telecom service operators shall be in accordance with its recent strategic agreement with SingTel in Singapore wherein SingTel shall exclusively offer Arkadin's audio and web conferencing and collaboration solutions for its WorldConference virtual meeting service to all its customers in Singapore. ArkadinAnytime, ArkadinEvent and ArkadinAnywhere audio and web conferencing solutions will be offered under SingTel's WorldConference brand as SingTel Anytime, SingTel Anywhere and SingTel Event.
