Senior leadership from Harman Professional Solutions came together with its valued India partners on July 19 to share plans for the future and to emphasise the partners’ critical role in contributing to Harman’s global growth.
The partner meet was attended by more than 70 prominent partners from India. This was the first partner meet since G Amar Subash, vice president & general manager, APAC & India, Harman Professional Solutions, joined Harman in April 2022.
He briefed the partners on Harman’s focus on delivering technology forward products throughout the Professional Solutions portfolio of brands that includes JBL Professional for loudspeakers, AKG headphones and microphones, AMX for video control and Martin lighting for stage and architecture.
Amar Subash said: “Our partners are the backbone for our success in the India market, and I could not be prouder to have this group of committed people who not only understand their customers’ needs but know how our product portfolio fits into those needs. I’m more than thrilled to have spent this time talking with our partners and also learning from their feedback which only strengthens our ability to serve this market.”
Attending the partner meet from corporate headquarters in the US was Jaime Albors, senior vice president, global sales, Harman Professional Solutions. Albors reinforced the importance of India towards Harman’s global success. He said: “India has always been a key growth market for Harman and we strive to keep the brand expanding here. We're grateful to our partners for upholding the brand reputation to a standard of excellence in the Indian market and to maintain utmost confidence for our customer base as well. We've also made sure that our sales strategy roadmap for India is aligned with our global roadmap."
The event was also attended by Andy Flint, senior vice president, global product development, professional solutions, who shared the business unit’s high-level global product roadmap aligning with Harman’s global strategy. He commented: “India’s economic growth is creating more opportunity to integrate our products into projects whether it be for the enterprise or entertainment market, therefore increasing demand for the highest standard of product development and reliability. India is a diverse marketplace and Harman is proud to have developed products to complement what our Indian customers require and that we have a strong partner network with the knowledge of the marketplace to satisfy that demand. The dialog we have with partners enhances our product plans for the future and for that we are very appreciative.”
