 Gigabyte Technology India has announced the appointment of Sunil Grewal, as Sales Head - India. Grewal, in his new role, will be responsible for the overall direction of the sales strategy and its implementation for Gigabyte motherboards in India. He will lead the company’s initiatives in expanding the existing markets and diversifying into new regions, especially the upcountry markets, through the sales team, channel and system integrator (SI) partners. While assisting in creating a sizeable customer base, he will also help the senior management in charting business growth strategies and improving the Gigabyte brand image. Prior to taking over as Sales Head – India, Gigabyte India, Grewal was the company’s Regional Manager, heading the Sales Operations for both North and East India. He has spent over seven years in Gigabyte. His proven credentials in ensuring growth, particularly in the mid-market, will help Gigabyte further strengthen its position as the leading motherboard brand in the country, according to the company.

Commenting on his new role, Grewal, stated, “I’m very excited with my new assignment, especially because I think Gigabyte today is uniquely positioned, with its wide, ideal range of motherboards, for meeting the growing customer demand for the right Price / Performance ratio. Gigabyte had an outstanding 2010 during which our motherboard sales in many Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions grew by over 100 per cent. My immediate focus will be on leveraging this achievement, by enhancing channel penetration and spread, strengthening post-sales service infrastructure for both channels and customers, and managing innovative channel schemes designed for maximizing partner benefits.”
