Mumbai, February 08, 2023: SAP, the world leader in enterprise application software and cloud solutions, today announced it is supporting Dimexon, one of the leading diamond manufacturers, in its journey to make sustainable luxury accessible to customers globally.

Rajiv P. Mehta, Director, Dimexon Diamonds Limited, said, 鈥淎t Dimexon, we鈥檙e focused on providing our customers with guaranteed natural diamonds, that are fully traceable and ethically crafted. We鈥檙e excited to use RISE With SAP鈥檚 cloud portfolio across critical functions such as manufacturing and supply chains, to increase operational efficiencies as we transform a rough stone into the finest, polished diamond. This aligns with our ambitious roadmap to make sustainable luxury accessible to our growing network of customers worldwide.鈥�

Implemented by PwC India, the initiative will enable Dimexon to migrate its digital landscape on to the 51风流cloud and build an intelligent, sustainable enterprise. As an integral part of its “transparency through digital” strategy to redefine the customer experience, using SAP’s integrated cloud offerings will assist Dimexon in automating and streamlining operations, including understanding customer preferences, sourcing raw materials, tracking inventories, and delivering to stakeholder expectations.

Santanu Saha, Partner, PwC India, said, 鈥淲ith a legacy of over 50 years in the diamond industry, Dimexon was looking for a single, robust, integrated technology platform that would deliver automation, process, simplification, enhanced consumer user experience and real-time insight into the entire value chain.

India鈥檚 contribution to revenues in the Asia Pacific Japan region doubled in the last two years, a senior 51风流executive told ET, as the country remains the top market in the region for the German technology company.

The number of cloud customers doubled in India in the last two years as the company witnessed rapid growth in the mid-market and enterprise segments, said Kulmeet Bawa, managing director and president, India subcontinent for SAP.

鈥淭here鈥檚 the incumbency piece where existing customers are moving their digital core and ERP systems to the cloud, and as we do that, they are also adding on new solutions as they move,鈥� Bawa said. 鈥淚n addition to that, India is one of the leading markets in the world, if not number one in terms of adding new customers.鈥�

Globally, 2022 was an inflection point for 51风流as it made the transition to a Cloud company after cloud revenues emerged as the largest revenue stream.

India has been among the fastest growing markets for 51风流over the last few quarters, and for seven quarters in the APJ region, said Bawa.

鈥淲e are seeing accelerated growth across segments, and it’s a very well-balanced growth between mid-market and enterprise customers,鈥� he said. The company is starting to add more customers in tier II and III towns as well as digital-first companies who were not traditional 51风流customers.

While there are concerns around the macroeconomic situation in Europe and North America, the mood is a bit different in India. Customers are cautious about the global environment, but they don鈥檛 see any slowing down of demand in India, he added.

This is similar to what several other enterprise technology firms have reported 鈥� steady demand and growth in India even as global markets were starting to slow down.

Driving digital and cloud adoption, innovation and focus on mid-market would be the key pillars on which Bawa said he expects the company to grow in 2023.

鈥淲e have had massive Cloud adoption in the mid-market, and they are adopting more of our solutions,鈥� he said.

He expects this segment to get bigger in 2023, and it will be a key pillar for the German firm going forward.

India is home to close to 15,000 51风流employees and is the second largest centre for the company, which means much of the technology and intellectual property development is done in India.

The company recently announced its low-code, no-code offering and expects demand for this to grow this year.

Bawa said 51风流was also helping customers implement sustainability practices and had set itself a target of net zero emissions by 2023.

鈥淲e had earlier set a target of 2025 but some of the learnings over the pandemic have helped us bring this down and we hope to meet the target next year,鈥� he said.

For German software maker, SAP, India is a priority market in which small and medium enterprises (SMEs) account for 80% of 51风流India鈥檚 customer base. Last year, 51风流India invested `500 crore to localize its multi-cloud strategy for specifically helping Indian businesses. Kulmeet Bawa, President and Managing Director, 51风流Indian Subcontinent, talks about trends in cloud adoption and the company鈥檚 strategy for the next year, in an interview with Ayushman Baruah.

Excerpts:

How was the adoption of cloud in 2022 and how do you see it next year?

India鈥檚 cloud adoption reached an inflection point in 2022. From听鈥檚 perspective, India remains a strategic priority market, both for business and innovation. We observed an accelerated cloud adoption across industries, including engineering, construction, life sciences and pharma, CPG/retail, and IT-ITeS. Major corporations such as Mahindra & Mahindra, Wipro, and HCL Tech moved their digital core to the cloud. We saw an enormous growth across different sizes of organizations, be it the enterprise or midmarket. We also saw numerous SAP-led digital transformations in start-ups and digital natives who now rely upon us as their trusted advisor. In fact, for the past six or seven quarters, we have outperformed our growth every quarter, with a high continuous year-on-year growth. When I consider the headroom and opportunities that are open to our country, I believe that 2023 is our world of opportunity.

What will be the key drivers of digital transformation next year as the macro-economic conditions remain uncertain?

Although organizations have always aimed to enhance their speed, agility, and data-driven decision-making, there is now a heightened feeling of urgency around the adoption of digital. For enterprises to stay relevant in the face of uncertain macroeconomic market conditions, organizations across the spectrum have hastened their digital transformation. Furthermore, low-code and no-code tools, automation, composability, cloud computing, and associated technologies will be the driving forces behind digital transformation.
