Welcoming Chugh on board, Coad remarked, "There is a huge growth potential for automated network storage solutions in the region and I am very confident in Chugh, who has spent over two decades leading IT companies to number one positions in their space. He has the ability to drive our storage business successfully, particularly through our partners. I am positive that he will further strengthen our position in the market by bringing his leadership and extensive experience from Cisco Systems and Scientific-Atlantan Inc., to bear on EMC’s sales operation in India."

Prior to Cisco Systems, Chugh set up the operations of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., in India. He has also held key positions in sales, business development and general management at Wipro Limited. Joining EMC, he said, "Without a doubt the IT industry is entering the era in which storage is one of the fastest growing IT segments. In India, SAN and NAS CAGR in terms of revenue is expected to grow by 36 and 34 percent, respectively from 2002 to 2007. It is with this great excitement that I embark on the next phase of my career with the information storage leader, EMC."

While EMC’s India and SAARC sales operations will be centered in Delhi, the branch offices in Bangalore and Mumbai will continue to operate. EMC’s software development center will continue to be based out of Bangalore and is headed by Nagendra Satyan.
