The Mediaman Group managed to grow largely on virtue of its increasing sales from Transcend flash memory products

The Mediaman Group's revenue for the year 2006-07 was Rs 219 crore, registering a growth of 18 percent over the previous year, which was Rs 179 crore. The bulk of this business came from the western region, with the eastern region contributing only seven percent, while the western region contributed the maximum at 45 percent of the total revenue. The IT/ITeS/telecom market segments were the major revenue contributors at 62 percent. The number of employees saw a rise from 133 in last year to 174 this year.

From a company offering just dot-matrix printers and PC motherboards , today Mediaman's product line include over 2,000 memory modules for a multitude of devices including desktops, notebooks, servers, workstations, digital still cameras, mobile phones, etc, and enterprise solutions from Transcend. It also offers products from Acard, Gigabyte besides 500 types of notebook and mobile computing accessories like laptop batteries, adaptors, flash drivers and flash cards, readers, USB, IRDA, bluetooth, firewire, IEEE, digital cameras, camcorder batteries, etc.

Mediaman has four divisions, and The Notebook Lab is its service center for laptops. It also has a retail presence through Here and Now, but this business has not seen any uptake for the past few years. Besides this, the company has its own Bravish range of peripherals, which too has been gradually loosing steams. This is largely because of the company's focus on flash memory products from Transcend.

Mediaman expanded five new branch offices this year in Cochin, Surat, Kolkata, Gurgaon and Pune. A highlight for the company was Dushyant Mehta, MD, Transcend inaugurating the company's Shanghai factory recently. This is approximately 40-times bigger than any other plant. Mediaman stretched its presence to 40 cities all over India and is aiming at 150 cities by the end of year 2008.
