Alcatel - Biggest Telecom Equipment Manufacturers

Alcatel Lucent, one of the biggest telecom equipment manufacturers is feeling the heat from Chinese companies. But the company''s new India head says that the company is ready to adopt radically new strategies to beat China.

Vivek Mohan, Head of Alcatel Lucent''s India operations has a clear belief to grow the company''s business by 30 per cent or more every year. The Chinese manufacturers in the business are sweeping the Indian markets and in most cases companies like Alcatel Lucent are finding themselves priced out of competition.

So the company management is adopting a new a new strategy for growth. They are targeting the network outsourcing market that''s worth over $2 billion. Alcatel Lucent is waiting eagerly for the 3 G spectrum to be auctioned because the company believes the next market opportunity lies there. It already has a tie up with government owned ITIs for equipment manufacturing in India and now it is planning on expanding R&D activities in the country.
