Ever since computing devices picked up in India, HP has been a part of that journey. Maintaining a strong market share amidst the declining PC market shipments in India for the past two years, HP has been the market leader in India's PC market with 31.5% market share, in both commercial and consumer segments in 2023, according to market intelligence firm IDC.

Helming the company's operations in India is Ipsita Dasgupta, an alumna of Harvard Business School and Columbia University, who has had stints at companies such as Apple, GE and IBM.

In an interview with Nidhi Singal, Dasgupta talks about the relevance of the India market for HP, its growth strategy for the coming years and her vision for the company. Edited excerpts:
