? Million Indian Small Businesses to Buy PCs?

[Ceres]

According to a recent study by AMI, it predicts that in 2009 over half a million small businesses in India will buy computers for the very first time.

"In the current economic downturn, businesses are looking at cutting costs, and as a result PC-owning SBs are extending the life-cycle of existing PCs," says Dipendra Mitra, Analyst at AMI-Partners. "The non-PC owning businesses hold the key to growth in India. Even if a fraction of the 2.5 million non-PC owning businesses buy a PC, it will provide a considerable boost to the Indian IT industry."
