16.JALAN INFOTECH :Beyond Boundaries
With a strong focuson high growth eastern market, Jalan Infotech posted a
robust 42 growth and moved several notches up in the DQ Channels' Silver Club
With an impressive growth rate of over 42 percent, Kolkata-based distribution
giant Jalan Infotech clocked a turnover of Rs 137 crore from Rs 80 crore this
year. What makes this success spectacular is that it managed to get this revenue
figure by selling solely in the eastern region. Having branches in all major
cities and towns of eastern India, Jalan is now all set to expand its territory
further. The company had opened a branch in Mumbai in 2006. Now Jalan is ready
to extend its operation down South.
To begin with, the company is coming up with branches in Hyderabad by this
December followed by two more branches in Chennai and Bangalore by March 2008.
Simultaneously it is also planning to open one more branch in Raipur by this
December.
The company has also done a significantly good job as far as distribution of
Lenovo products are concerned. Last fiscal, Lenovo helped it fetch a total
business of around
Rs 90 crore. This achievement has helped the company to win an award for the
best distributor from India at the Lenovo Asia-Pacific meet in Beijing.
Meanwhile, Jalan is also becoming very powerful in its retail front. With two
outlets situated at prime locations in Kolkata, the company is all set to
increase its focus on retailing.
It is coming up with a third showroom soon. As per the company, its retail
business contributes about Rs 25 crore in addition to its distribution business.
Besides all these, Jalan Infotech is now thriving to attain new heights. The
company is now keen to include new products in its distribution arena.
To start with, the company has tied up with Finolex to distribute its range
of networking cables and networking passive components for Kolkata. Jalan has
also tied-up with HCL as a distributor for West Bengal and Orissa, as well as
with Reliance to distribute datacards.
