New Delhi: Hitachi Systems Micro Clinic Pvt. Ltd. has changed its corporate name to Hitachi Systems India Pvt. Ltd. (“Hitachi Systems India”). It has also appointed Munehiro Hashimoto as the new Chairman.
Upon the adoption of this new corporate name, Hitachi Systems aims to operate in closer collaboration with Hitachi Systems India as part of a plan to expand its IT service business in the Indian market and strengthen its business foundations. Through the new Chairman, it aims to further increase the managerial influence from Japan.
Founded in 1991, Hitachi Systems India is an IT services company based in New Delhi. The company became a member of the Hitachi Systems Group in 2014 and has since been providing comprehensive one-stop services, ranging from IT equipment procurement to system design, construction, operation, and maintenance. In January 2020, the company announced a change to its management ranks following the retirement of its founder. Under this new leadership, Hitachi Systems India has closely followed the Hitachi Group Identity’s Mission, Values, and Vision to create new value, improve management speed, and boost the efficiency of business operations.
Upon changing their corporate name and appointing a new Chairman, Hitachi Systems India will adopt a new management structure and operate as a presence closer to Hitachi Systems. In addition, having the new Japanese Chairman assigned to India in future helps to increase the managerial influence from Japan. This can further strengthen their brand in the Indian market and aid their goal to become the core Indian base as part of the goal of Hitachi Systems to become a global service company, where they will speed up the expansion of their service business and foster even closer relationships with customers and partner vendors.
Hitachi Systems India will continue to enhance its system integration portfolio and will provide a range of IT services including cloud services, security services, and managed services, with a total team of nearly 1,500 service engineers in India. The company will further expand its service-oriented organization consisting of around 100 engineers, including the Global Service Desk (GSD) and the Network Operations Center (NOC).
On the change of name, Naoki Ono, Vice President and Executive Officer of Hitachi Systems said, “Hitachi Systems considers India to be a key strategic region for global business expansion due to the size of its market and high rate of growth. Following the adoption of their new corporate name and the appointment of their new Chairman, Hitachi Systems India aims to strengthen its IT-related service business. As part of their efforts to be a global service company, Hitachi Systems will work in even closer collaboration with Hitachi Systems India to boost brand value. Moreover, Hitachi Systems India will take advantage of the foundations previously laid in India by Hitachi Systems Micro Clinic and follow a policy of building robust relationships of trust with not only local companies in India but also Japanese and overseas customers.”
