Top IT Distributors

IT distribution in India has undergone tremendous transformation over the last few years. Technology distribution is becoming more and more mature and organized over a period of time from being largely disorganized and immature in the past. Even the challenges that the IT distribution segment is facing are also going through drastic changes. Earlier when the gray market and government policies were a big mayhem, are now fairly manageable.

Now, the common intermediary between vendors and end-customers, who is frequently: vendor to distributor, distributor to reseller or SI, reseller or SI to end-customer, IT distributors have realized the big opportunity that newer technologies like Cloud Computing, Big Data, Mobility, Social media are offering. As a result, IT distributors are still trying to maintain a stronghold with the expansion of business and strengthening of existing structures. This year, among the biggies of IT distribution like Ingram, Redington and HCL Infosystems, the distributors who fared well are Savex, Rashi Peripherals, Comguard, Supertron, Beetel Teletech, Global Infonet and Fortune Marketing.

In our effort to distinguish those IT distributors who have done really well in the market, VARINDIA presents a list of top distributors of India:
