Fifteen months after a group of 140 people from IBM moved to Lenovo with its acquisition of IBM PC division, Siddhesh Naik , Director, Enterprise Business Group, Lenovo, reveals details about the projects they are working on. He accepts that they have expanded their expertise acquired in IBM to Lenovo, but the journey has been different altogether, working on projects with a fresh perspective. Siddhesh is a part of the team which is working closely with the government in its Digital India campaign. He talks about one such project in the surveillance area which has been implemented in three cities in the pilot phase.
“There are a lot of traffic violations the country. We are trying to automate the whole thing. Whenever there is a red light jump by any vehicle, the camera captures the nameplate and it correlates the number with the registration details. Then, ticket gets couriered to the violator. Even if you were not caught or evaded it, you will get caught 3-4 months later as this database is maintained by police,” he said adding that they are only the hardware provider.
While Siddhesh said that the government sector’s contribution to Lenovo’s revenue is hardly 12% at present, but they target to almost double that to 25% in three years. And working on government projects would be the main strategy of their growth.
“The global aspiration is to become number 1 by 2020,” he added.
