“Over the last four quarters, Gigabyte has consistently outpaced market growth rates across product segments that we operate in,” said Rajan Sharma, GM-Motherboard Business Unit, Gigabyte India, “We will keep up this aggressive momentum in 2009 as well and will predominantly focus on driving growth through channel consolidation, enhanced post sales and RMA services, channel development initiatives and strong focus on delivering reseller partner RoI,” he added.

In an effort to increase end-user awareness and higher brand sensitivity amongst buying public for Gigabyte motherboards, Gigabyte plans to rollout DIY programs and numerous focused-segment education initiatives, throughout the year.

Focused on delivering strong channel partner RoI, the company has drawn up a number of channel friendly initiatives and programs through 2009.
