\"\"MUMBAI: Cisco<\/a> has posted seven consecutive quarters of declining revenue. But most analysts are relatively bullish on the company, as CEO Chuck Robbins<\/a><\/strong> tries to transform it from its hardware approach to one based on software and subscription revenue. And Robbins, who was in India last week on his second visit after taking over from John Chambers in 2015, says the networking company's software and engineering talent in the country <\/em>has<\/em> become central to the transition. Excerpts from an exclusive interaction with TOI:<\/em>
\n
\nIndia has been a rapidly growing market for you. Now, with
GDP growth<\/a> slowing, how does the market look?<\/strong>
\nWe remain optimistic. India has been one of the top performing countries for us in the last three years, and we expect that to continue for the next decade. India is important to us as a growth market and especially from an innovation perspective, given the engineering resources and the products that we develop here.
\n
\nIndia is also important to us from the perspective of how countries are leveraging technologies that fundamentally change how they do citizen services, how they think about meeting their own priorities ­ like the work we have done here with the Country Digitisation strategy.
\n
\nWhere specifically is the growth coming from?<\/strong>
\nWe have had broad-based growth in India. We have seen a lot of growth in telecom. We have an exclusive partnership with Reliance Jio in building their IP(internet protocol-) based technology for mobile broadband. It's the largest all IP mobile broadband network in the world. Additionally, with the government's initiative to go for the national broadband network and our partnership with Jio, we have formed the foundation of connectivity to deliver a variety of services. Mid-sized enterprise, small-medium businesses have all been doing really well. We also see a lot of digitisation of public services happening, which is also fueling our growth.
\n
\nIn other countries, sometimes you see one customer segment doing well or a geography doing well, but here we see great balance across all verticals. This is why we see opportunity in India for a long period of time.
\n
\nYou have talked about India becoming an export hub. You have started manufacturing here. How is that going?<\/strong>
It is meeting our expectations and we are delivering on our commitments. It is a part of our overall Country Digitisation strategy that we launched a couple of years ago. Two years ago, Cisco had the
Country Digitisation initiative<\/a> in one country; today we have formal initiatives with 16 different countries. India has been the most consistent, aggressive and holistic country where we built out everything from national broadband, smart cities, cybersecurity, manufacturing and skill development. Manufacturing is a top priority for us in India as it is aligned with the priorities of the leaders of the country.
\n
\nDoes it make economic sense for you to manufacture here?<\/strong>
Apple<\/a> has been asking for a variety of concessions to expand its manufacturing.
\n
\nYou can assume that there are requirements that we have to meet for our shareholders and our business. For us to decide (to manufacture), it has to be a good business decision.
\n
\nDo you see a lot more investments going into manufacturing?<\/strong>
\nIndia is a huge market which we can leverage to service not only the Indian market but also other markets in the region.
\n
\nHow happy are you with your R&D centre in India?<\/strong>
\nWe have 1,659 patents out of India, which is an average of two patents per week. Recently, we needed to add a product feature for another region and the team came to India to get the desired feature incorporated into an existing product. The India team did that in two days and that enabled us to get the deal.
\n
\nAbout 60 per cent of our engineers in India are software engineers and that is a big part of where we are taking the company. We have a significant portion here of the team that works on our collaboration portfolio, one of the most consistent performing elements of our portfolio over the last 2-3 years. The other big part that happened here is the intuitive network that we recently launched. In order to be prepared for the launch, we had to re-write our core operating system that has been built over 30 years.We needed to modernise it so that we could program it to do things in a modern world, and a great deal of that work was done out of India. We have engineers here who have worked on all elements of our automation platform.
\n
\nThat is just the engineering innovation. We have also the innovation that happens in other parts of our business here too ­ the huge portion of our technical services and centre of excellence for our advance service engagement that we do with customers. They do things like special development work and special coding.
\n
\nIndia has exceeded our expectations. It has increased the capacity of innovation and is the second largest engineering campus we have in the world.
\n
\nWhat strikes you about Indian engineers?<\/strong>
\nThe Indian team gets quite energised when you give them something unique to do within a short period of time. I think their biggest strength is passion and desire to get to the outcome. Another strong point is the work ethics ­ from the moment a project is defined till getting it to delivery. I think there is a sense of pride in making that happen. There is a certain relentlessness that's unique and part of the Indian spirit that I see in our employees. They enjoy the challenge and that's the future of what we want to do as a company.We will continue to build high-performance, custom silicon platforms that are going to increase the contribution of our technology solutions in this agile rapid development methodology.

\nStartup pack for SMBS<\/strong>
Irving Tan, Cisco's president for Asia Pacific & Japan, said the company has put in place a unique offering in India for
small & medium businesses<\/a>, called Cisco Start. It's a small startup pack that has networking, voice capability and security that SMBs can scale over time as their business expands. Tan said it is designed for SMBs, and it is easy to understand, install and use. \n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":60741654,"title":"Web majors objecting to panel recommendations strange: SC","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/web-majors-objecting-to-panel-recommendations-strange-sc\/60741654","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":60741741,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Indian engineers exceeded our expectations: Chuck Robbins, CEO, Cisco","synopsis":"In other countries, sometimes you see one customer segment doing well or a geography doing well, but here we see great balance across all verticals, he said.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/indian-engineers-exceeded-our-expectations-chuck-robbins-ceo-cisco","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Sujit John","author_link":"\/author\/7660\/sujit-john","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/7660.cms?width=100&height=100","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":7660,"author_name":"Sujit John","author_seo_name":"Sujit-John","designation":"Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"TNN","artdate":"2017-09-19 09:22:02","lastupd":"2017-09-19 09:24:26","breadcrumbTags":["GDP growth","Enterprise IT","Apple","Cisco","Chuck Robbins","small & medium businesses","Country Digitisation initiative"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/indian-engineers-exceeded-our-expectations-chuck-robbins-ceo-cisco"}}" data-authors="[" sujit john"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2017-09-19" data-index="article_1">

孟买:思科贴了连续七个季度的收入下降。但大多数分析师相对看好这家公司,担任CEO查克·罗宾斯试图把它从一个基于软件和硬件方法订阅收入。上周在印度和罗宾斯,在他上任后的第二次访问2015年约翰·钱伯斯,说网络公司的软件和工程人才 成为核心转变。独家摘录与钢铁洪流的交互:

印度是一个快速增长的市场。现在,随着国内生产总值增长放缓,市场怎么看?
我们依然乐观。印度一直对我们表现最佳的国家之一在过去的三年里,我们期望继续为下一个十年。印度是重要的增长市场,特别是从创新的角度来看,考虑到工程的资源和产品,我们这里发展。

印度也很重要对我们从国家如何利用技术的角度,从根本上改变他们如何做公民服务,如何考虑会议自己的优先级喜欢这里的工作我们已经完成国家数字化战略。

具体的增长从何而来?
在印度我们有广泛的增长。我们看到了很多电信的增长。我们有独家合作关系依赖Jio在构建他们的IP(互联网协议)为基础的移动宽带技术。它是世界上最大的全IP移动宽带网络。此外,与政府的主动去与Jio全国宽带网络和我们的伙伴关系,我们已经形成了连接到提供各种服务的基础。中型企业,中小企业都做的很好。我们也看到很多数字化公共服务的发生,这也助长了我们的成长。

在其他国家,有时你看到一个客户部门做好或地理位置不错,但在这里,我们看到伟大的平衡所有垂直。这就是为什么我们看到机会在印度很长一段时间。

你有谈过印度变成一个出口中心。这里已经开始制造。是,怎么去?
满足我们的期望,我们实现我们的承诺。这是一个我们整体国家数字化战略的一部分,我们推出了几年前。两年前,思科的国家数字化倡议在一个国家;今天我们有正式的倡议与16个不同的国家。印度一直最稳定、积极和全面的国家,我们建立了从国家宽带,智能城市、网络安全、生产和技术的发展。在印度生产是我们的首要任务是与这个国家的领导人的优先级。

它的经济意义为你生产吗?
苹果已经要求扩大生产各种让步。

你可以假定有要求我们必须满足股东和我们的业务。我们决定(制造),它必须是一个好的商业决定。

你看到更多的投资进入制造业?
印度是一个巨大的市场,我们可以利用服务不仅印度市场,而且在该地区其他市场。

我们印度有1659项专利,这是平均每周两项专利。最近,我们需要添加一个产品特性对另一个地区和团队来到印度所需的功能整合到现有的产品。印度团队并在两天内,使我们的交易。

大约60%的我们的工程师在印度软件工程师,这是一个大的一部分,我们的公司。我们这里有很大一部分的团队合作在我们的投资组合,我们的投资组合表现最稳定的元素之一在过去2 - 3年。发生的另一重要组成部分,这是直观的网络,我们最近推出了。为了做好准备,我们不得不重写我们的核心操作系统已经建立了30多年。我们需要现代化它,这样我们可以计划做事情在现代世界中,和大量的工作是做的印度。我们这里有工程师工作在自动化平台的所有元素。

这只是工程创新。我们也发生在其他地方的创新业务在这里的大部分技术服务和卓越中心为我们提前与客户服务接触我们。他们做事情喜欢特殊的开发工作和特殊编码。

印度超出了我们的预期。它增加了创新的能力,是世界上第二大工程我们校园。

打动你的印度的工程师呢?
印度团队变得精力充沛,当你给他们一些独特的做在很短的时间内。我觉得他们最大的力量是激情和渴望得到的结果。另一个强项是职业道德从一个项目直到把它定义为交付。我认为有一种自豪感,发生。有一定义无反顾,独特的和印度的一部分精神,我看到在我们的员工。他们喜欢挑战,这是我们的未来想做一个公司。我们将继续构建高性能、定制芯片平台,将增加的贡献我们的技术解决方案在一个快速发展的敏捷方法。
