It has been recognized that self-service concept in the Indian sub continent is essential for the increasingly technology aware youth of India. This generation is embracing self-service technologies in banking, airline ticketing and many other applications. The market metrics in India require a close co-operation between manufacturers, local solution and software partners. Through an exclusive partnership with Worldroom, the two partners will tap into this market with such phenomenal potential.

Having just returned from India, Peter te Lintel Hekkert, Director of sales for Public Computing: “The use of the self-service market in densely populated area is growing rapidly. Being able to serve consumers on the scale required in India will require the use of new technologies. Whilst margins in this sub continent are certainly under pressure, there is the huge benefit of large scale production and with the flexible cooperation between the two companies, we have the ability to put a custom supply-chain solution in place.”

Mr Philip Pothen, Director of Worldroom adds: “Introduction of self service terminals for Airlines, Hotels, Malls and E-Ticketing for Airlines and Railways are essential to meet growing demand of national and international travellers. Similar growth is occurring in Banking, Insurance and rapidly expanding Mobile Telecom sectors. We are uniquely positioned to realize our growth ambitions with this new partnership.”
