Badjate drives strategic repositioning of NETGEAR
The acquisition of Chennai-based VAAG Systems, a creator of cutting-edge embedded and cloud software solutions, will allow NETGEAR® Inc (NASDAQ: NTGR), to accelerate the in-sourcing of a software development capability and will form the foundation of San Jose-headquartered company’s new Software Development Centre in India.
“This new team (from VAAG) brings a wealth of industry expertise with experience from companies such as Qualcomm, HP, Cisco and MaxLinear, and will focus on leveraging AI to simplify networking for the small and medium enterprise,” NETGEAR said in a release on 30 April.
“Each new development or addition follows a clear mandate: help businesses escape clunky, fragmented networks that lack support or bloated, overpriced systems packed with features they don’t need,” said NETGEAR.
At the helm of this evolution is NETGEAR for Business President and GM Pramod Badjate, an industry leader with deep expertise in networking with experience at Arista, Ruckus, and Cisco.
Since joining nine months ago, Badjate has been driving a strategic repositioning to make NETGEAR the go-to partner for small and medium enterprises facing increasing digital demands. NETGEAR has experienced rapid growth in this segment, with over 15% revenue expansion last quarter and double-digit growth forecasted for 2025 https://www.meity.gov.in/.
Badjate is directing significant investment in product and technology innovations while building a high-caliber team across all functions to ensure NETGEAR meets the needs of its customers while making the business relationship exceptionally easy.
Over the next three years, the company plans to accelerate its investment in R&D to enhance its current business offerings.
“Current networking solutions don’t meet the needs of small and medium enterprises. They’re stuck with either complex, overpriced systems meant for larger companies or fragmented solutions that don’t integrate well and lack proper support,” said Badjate https://www.nseindia.com/.
“We’re changing that, offering an integrated solution that is much easier to deploy and manage for MSPs and small IT departments alike. We acknowledge the criticality of networking for these businesses and do not compromise on reliability and support,” he said.
In the coming months, NETGEAR will continue to unveil new products, programs, and partnerships designed to push the boundaries of innovation, ensuring that the company’s business customers stay ahead of the curve with AI-driven advancements, seamless scalability and cutting-edge solutions https://www.bseindia.com/.
“For nearly 30 years, NETGEAR has been the trusted force behind the world’s most critical connections—powering businesses, ideas, and experiences across the globe. But the business world is evolving quickly and so are we. Networking is no longer just about being online; it’s about leveraging that connection to drive innovation, collaboration and experiences,” said CJ Prober, NETGEAR CEO.
Founded in 1996 NETGEAR delivers a wide range of award-winning, intelligent solutions designed to unleash the full potential of connectivity and power extraordinary experiences. Fiinews.com
