Interview with Mr. Francois Dupont, CEO and Country Corporate Director, Thales International India Pvt. Ltd.

Mr. Francois Dupont:  We have focused on stabilizing our business during the last few years. Our revenues have grown from Euro 50 million a year and stand at around Euro 200 million presently from defence electronics, aerospace/avionics and civilian businesses. As you know, we have won a major contract to provide the ticketing system for the Delhi metro and have sold In Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems to Kingfisher and other airlines. Going forward, we aim to consolidate the various divisions of Thales International India Pvt. Ltd. into one entity and form Thales India Pvt. Ltd. This is part of our policy to become an "Indian entity". Our focus will also be on providing better service to clients and so will expand our service and support network.
