Italian professional audio manufacturer dBTechnologies has appointed Saikiran Shetty as Sales Manager for India.
Shetty is an accomplished sales professional with over 20 years experience in A/V industry exploring Corporate, Retail, and Channel Sales aspects of the business. In the last few years he focused in the Touring Audio product line serving as National Sales Manager – Touring Audio with Harman India.
Based in Mumbai, Shetty will support dBTechnologies brand development in the local market personally dealing operations for touring series VIO, DVA, DVX and INGENIA.
“My role in the company will be that of a catalyst in the Indian professional market” states Shetty. “This area is witnessing a steady growth and I will be on-site to improve the company’s agility and turnaround time in addressing the customers’ requirements.
When I met dBTechnologies team in Italy, I’ve immediately resonated with their value system, passion and commitment. And hence, the partnership was natural. I look forward to make use of all my experience and be able to amplify our reach to the consumers.”
dBTechnologies Sales & Marketing Director Giovanni Barbieri explains the reasons behind the new appointment:
“The company’s market share in Asia is dramatically increasing in the last two years, especially for what concerns the touring & installation segment. We are at a point where dBTechnologies is ready to leave its mark in India. This is the reason for which we need focused sales professionals on the field, ready to successfully implement our strategy and take advantage of the market opportunities ahead. I’m more than certain that Mr. Shetty will be the right person to usher in this new approach to the local professional market.
“We are fortunate to have someone of Shetty’s caliber and experience step up to help us to develop the brand’s potential in India”, adds dBTechnologies APAC sales Manager Manuele Poli. “Our flagship line array and sub series VIO is getting great feedbacks in APAC area and worldwide, and I’m sure there’s still a huge potential to be developed, especially in India”
Shetty will also operate on behalf of dBTechnologies in cooperation with Indian distributor Rivera Digitec for what concerns retail market.
