MUMBAI: Is leadership born or forged through experience?
Imagine a world without connectivity—the heartbeat of modern businesses would stall.
Just as a company thrives on sales, the networking industry thrives on innovation and strategic leadership. Who better to drive this growth than seasoned sales veterans with a knack for building connections that go beyond cables and routers?
Netgear, a global powerhouse in networking solutions, is rewriting its growth story with a bold move: appointing Annamalai AR as the country sales head for the middle east and Africa (MEA), and Abhishek as the sales leader for India, SAARC, and Mauritius.
These appointments signal more than just leadership changes—they mark a strategic leap into untapped opportunities across high-potential markets.
The question is, how will these changes shape the future of connectivity?
Annamalai, a veteran with 11 years of dedicated service at Netgear, will now oversee sales and operations in the MEA region, including Israel, Turkey, and North Africa.

Abhishek, recognised for his strategic vision and leadership, will now lead Netgear’s sales and operations across India, SAARC, and Mauritius. His unwavering dedication and proven ability to exceed expectations make him the ideal choice to further strengthen Netgear’s presence in these diverse markets.
