Konica Minolta expands in India

Konica Minolta Business Solutions India has made a pivotal strategic realignment of its office presence in Mumbai and Kolkata. The move will consolidate resources to optimize talent deployment and market responsiveness.

The company's new corporate offices in Andheri, Mumbai, and Salt Lake, Kolkata will serve as comprehensive business hubs, supporting critical functions, including sales, business development, technical pre-sales, service infrastructure and human capital management. These facilities are essentially talent incubation platforms that bridge global technological expertise with local market potential.

The strategic move recalibrates the company's commitment to deepening its market presence and enhancing its operational capabilities across key metropolitan centers, focusing on the high potential and business prospects in the given territories and taking a concentrated approach to addressing market demands.

Commenting on the rationale behind the strategic move, Katsuhisa Asari, managing director of Konica Minolta Business Solutions India, said: 'These new corporate offices represent more than mere physical expansion. They are strategic command centers designed to accelerate our technological capabilities and deepen our engagement with the Indian market. These offices are engineered as innovation laboratories where global knowledge meets local potential. We are creating an employer value proposition that attracts top-tier technological talent by offering unprecedented opportunities for professional growth, cross-cultural learning, and technological innovation.'

Adding a global perspective, Shinichiro Oka, executive vice president and executive officer responsible for corporate human resources, corporate general affairs, corporate secretarial, crisis management and precision medicine business at Konica Minolta, said: 'India represents a transformative inflection point in Konica Minolta's global strategy, offering not just growth but a potential redefinition of our global competitiveness. Our investment in Mumbai and Kolkata is a strategic bet that will be the fulcrum for capturing emerging growth. Beyond expansion, this fundamentally reimagines our global technological architecture through the lens of Indian innovation.'

Complementing the operational strategy, Susmita Dutta, chief human capital officer in India, shared that Konica Minolta India has ranked among 'Great Places to Work', emphasizing this initiative's talent and development aspect. 'With this geographical expansion, our new corporate branches will provide platforms for talent development, knowledge exchange, and professional growth. We are creating ecosystems that hone holistic development pathways, integrating technological skill-building, cross-functional exposure, and alignment with emerging digital transformation trajectories.'
 
The expansion runs in tandem with Konica Minolta’s global sustainability guidelines. The new offices are designed to minimize environmental impact and embody eco-conscious workspace principles. By establishing these robust operational centers, Konica Minolta aims to reinforce its position as a leading provider of technological products and services, bridging global expertise with local market insights and driving digital transformation across India.
