Globally, Dell has also closed factories as part of its plan to save $4 billion in operating costs. "The thrust is to get a more profitable revenue market share," says Sameer Garde, vice president of OEM solutions at Dell in the U.S. He was part of the team that chalked out the India plan and was managing director of India operations before moving to a global role in the Dell headquarters. The next step is to try to lower costs in India as well. Sundaresan regrets the lack of a supplier ecosystem in India, which could make pricing competitive. Dell globally sources around 1,300 components worth $26 billion from China, including components that arrive at the facility in India. Sundaresan says that if India had manufacturers who could make even 10% of components that Dell alone buys, "it will have a huge multiplier effect on the sector and the entire economy." Dell is betting on opportunities due to increased data access and demand for solutions around mobility, virtualization, and cloud computing.
