VMware India, a company into virtualisation and cloud infrastructure, has appointed Arun Parameswaran as its managing director. He succeeds T Srinivasan, who has decided to step down after five years with the company.
Parameswaran, who will join VMware post on April 24, leaves Red Hat India to take up this post. He will report to Sanjay Mirchandani, VMware's Senior Vice President and General Manager for the Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) region, and will join the APJ Leadership Team, the company said in a statement.
Earlier this month, VMware announced its intention of further investing up to $500 million over the next three years to help fund growing operations.
“This appointment will help accelerate VMware’s progress in one of our prime growth markets, as we work to ensure Indian businesses reap the full benefits of our vision of IT-as-a-Service,” Mirchandani said.
VMware’s footprint in the Indian subcontinent comprises a workforce of about 2,300 – including R&D staff, global support, operations, and a sales force – along with a presence in Bangalore, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Chennai, as well as Mumbai and New Delhi.
