DT: What all support do you expect from the brands for greater profitability & overall company growth?
Himanshu: The brands have already been a great support so far and we need to keep our relationship with them healthy and profitable. Our association with brands like XPG, MSI, Razer, Deepcool, Lian Li, Arctic gives us an upper hand of the competition as we get to be in control of almost everything from distribution to full-fledged marketing. This kind of support allow us to market their products better as we fully understand the need of the Indian audience. And, with ever rising consumers demands we expect brands to provide the best they can offer.
DT: What as per you is two biggest challenges for distribution business in India?
Himanshu: In a world of high competition and low margins, this is a difficult time for the distribution industry. Supply chain uncertainties, inventory issues, but the biggest challenge here is ever increasing demands of customers and e-commerce takeover. The E-commerce industry has greatly impacted the B2B industry and distributors need to establish a formidable online presence to stay ahead of the competition. Moreover, the rising demands of consumers with each passing year forces distributors to act fast. While some distributions businesses are ready others are yet to understand what is going wrong with their business.
