Netgear names Surajit Sen as head of enterprise business for APAC

As part of a series of moves that underscore its commitment to the APAC pro AV market, Netgear Enterprise has appointed Surajit Sen as head of enterprise business for APAC. Sen is a seasoned technology executive with a track record of building high-growth enterprise businesses across the region.

“We are at a turning point for pro AV-over-IP in this region,” said Sen. “Enterprises want intelligent, connected infrastructure that delivers extraordinary experiences – not complexity. Netgear’s recently launched Align Controller platform, combined with our expanding regional team and partner ecosystem, puts us in the right position to lead this market.”

Sen’s appointment is part of a broader push to strengthen the manufacturer’s go-to-market capability across APAC. His remit includes growing the regional partner and distributor network, expanding enterprise sales coverage and leading the adoption of Netgear’s pro AV and SASE portfolio across key APAC verticals.

“Surajit brings exactly the right combination of enterprise sales leadership and regional market knowledge to accelerate our APAC business,” added explains Pramod Badjate, president and general manager, NETGEAR Enterprise. “The pro AV market in Asia Pacific is growing fast, and we are investing accordingly – in leadership, in channel and in the education programmes that give our partners a genuine competitive edge.”

The company has also scheduled more than 30 regional training sessions for AV professionals and integrators across the region. The programme is designed to build hands-on competency with AV-over-IP design, deployment and troubleshooting, skills that are increasingly critical as APAC enterprises upgrade their AV infrastructure. Details on session locations, dates and registration will be made available through Netgear’s regional partner and distributor network.
