Swadesh Khetawat, managing director of Plus Business Machines
Plus Business Machines were unknown in India until 1995, when a wholly owned local distributor brought the Japanese-made products to this thriving market. Three years later, Plus Corp. in Japan offered financial collaboration, having been impressed by the successful operations and immense potential.

From its origins in Mumbai, Plus Business Machines has since expanded to eight major cities and areas in the country: New Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata (Calcutta), Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kochi.

``We have been doing very well. Contrary to the feeling of Indian businessmen that a relationship with your partner is purely for business, our experience turned out to be a business- cum-family relationship. We are very happy with our relationship with Plus Corp. They have been very supportive and we have been very loyal to the brand. Today, we are the market leaders in India,'' explains Managing Director Swadesh Khetawat.

Plus Business Machines supplies and integrates audiovisual products to India's largest corporations. Unlike other electronic distributors, it focuses mainly on this niche market. ``So when people in India want to buy AV (audiovisual) products, they buy from us,'' says Khetawat.

As a testament to India's economic future, Plus Business Machines plans to manufacturer supply nearby countries in collaboration with Kaga Components of Japan. The Plus projector business has recently merged with the Kaga Group and the new projector brand is called Taxan.

``Come and see what the real business story is like. There are great opportunities in India and you should not delay further. We are open to having technical and financial collaboration with strong Japanese brands who wish to establish their presence in India in a short time,'' says Khetawat.
