Businesses and consumers in India are rapidly evolving their relationship with technology, and this accelerated transformation is creating new opportunities for Lenovo across our business segments, Lenovo India Managing Director Shailendra Katyal told PTI.

He added that to realise these opportunities, Lenovo is investing significantly in innovation across its business as it progresses from a device company to an integrated services and solutions provider.

"We leverage technology to empower businesses both large and small, the communities they serve, and the individuals who are creating the future," he said.

Historic profit and revenue

Lenovo Group has announced record quarterly results for the group globally, with "historic highs for both profit and revenue".

The company's operational excellence, innovation, and strong execution underpin the improvements across all key business groups, despite wider industry supply challenges, it said.

Its net income (profit attributable to equity holders) jumped 65 per cent to USD 512 million in the the quarter under review from USD 310 million in the year-ago period.
