Daisy Chittilapilly loves a challenge and as the President of Cisco India and SAARC for the last three years, it has been a roller coaster ride. Under his leadership, India has become one of the most successful markets globally for the company, with Cisco setting up its first manufacturing unit in Chennai in September, eyeing Rs 11,000 crore annually in exports and production national. “We all learned to survive and thrive in such an environment, and I am a leader who has done that as well,” says Chittilapilly. Now that the testing period is over, Cisco is working to launch a suite of products in India.
