Balu Doraisamy

MNC trailblazer



Balu Doraisamy has been a trailblazer, having successfully driven a slew of
MNC ventures. It was in the spring of 1982 that Doraisamy joined Digital

Equipment Corporation, popularly known as DEC. DEC was a blue chip IT company,

with popular mini computers like the PDP and VAX series. Doraisamy was given the

responsibility of developing global accounts for DEC in the APAC region. He was

quite successful in his endeavors, but DEC wasn't. In 1998, Compaq acquired

DEC and Doraisamy was made the MD of Compaq India. He was instrumental in Compaq

becoming a major player on Indian soil. In 2002, when HP acquired Compaq, he was

retained as the president of HP India. This shows Doraiswamy's amazing

marketing acumen.
