The OEM says there is a “huge opportunity” as the Indian government looks to develop “more in the digital space, than in the physical space”.
Rajiv Srivastava, Vice President and General Manager of HP Printers and Personal Systems (PPS) India, made the comments, adding that more investment is needed in the education sector and skill development, The Economic Times reported.
Citizen services and healthcare are two other sectors the VP said need to be enhanced digitally, while HP’s focus on enterprise mobility will aid the digitalisation process in India.
“Digital India is a way in which services are delivered to the citizen and the way a citizen interacts with the government – it’s easy, it’s transparent, it’s convenient, and it’s timesaving,” he continued. HP has collaborated with the government for more than 20 years on projects to do with communication and IT, as well as agriculture, education and finance.
Srivastava recently commented that digital, printing and PC markets in India were set to prosper, with smart cities leading the way in development. HP is set to split into two separate companies – HP Enterprise and HP Inc. – in November 2015.
