- How has been the drive of Citrix in Indian market against the global scenario?
India is a strategic market for Citrix. We have grown significantly and continue to gain market share and expand our customer base.
On the global platform, channels and innovation are our priorities. With customers becoming more aware of security, Citrix’s is an ideal partner as a secured apps and data provider. However, we also recognize the need for devices that are the endpoint for accessing applications and data.
India is at a transformation stage wherein more and more organizations are moving from analogue to cloud and encouraging usage of mobile devices. However, security still remains a pertinent concern wherein customers are preferring storing part of their applications and data on the public cloud and the rest on a private cloud. Citrix has been enabling this transition in India’s organizational landscape with solutions that cater to their specific requirements. We also follow a customer-centric approach to service end users. Our aim is to provide the best-fit solutions while collaborating and aligning our teams’ efforts to best fit the requirements of our customers.
