In the HPS segment, HPI has sustained its leadership position by providing the most secure, high quality and affordable printing solutions. Last year, it launched Sprocket in the mobile photo printing category and its recent launch of the Ink Tank printers is expected to further propel this growth. Specific to the needs of its enterprise customers, HPI offers the per page cost Concept as part of its Managed Print Services, which enables them to carry out their printing needs without having to worry about the device ownership and the cost of the infrastructure.
In terms of strategy, HPI has a three-fold business strategy for India — core, growth, and future, through which it is aiming to reinvent printing. Major focus areas being the A3 copier segment, where it entered last year with the acquisition of Samsung’s A3 business, HPI can now address the USD 55 billion global markets.

With the enterprises becoming more aware of the benefits of digitization, HPI expects strong growth to come from SMBs, public sector, and large enterprises. Another major focus area for the company is to enable businesses (large enterprises, SMBs etc.) to digitize their workflows where we are working with leading players in the BFSI sector and State Government departments to help them securely digitize their data.
