The 1980’s – Beginning of SK
Established in 1984, the idea to start an IT business came from the belief to do things differently. SK group of companies were into diversified businesses of commodities, plastics, oil and others. The urge to do something unique in technology arena and embrace the world with new business & services was the driving force.
We began our journey with selling Epson dot matrix printers and media to large companies. We discovered there was tremendous demand & opportunities for printer add-ons like RS 232 or the IEEE 488 cards and this motivated us to start small manufacturing unit in Bangalore for manufacturing cards and printer sharer switches. We received a large order from BEL to be used for Indian army. This set us thinking that lot of instrumentation and automation equipments would need printers which can enable IEE 488 and RS 232 interfacing. Our belief came true when ITI placed multiple orders in hundreds for their switching equipment.
Sensing huge demand for printers & accessories we imported HP printers and gave exceptional printing solutions, services & support which were not even provided by the principals or competitors. Our aim was to be the experts in the chosen area.
The 1990’s – Rapid Growth Phase
Importing HP printers gave us global exposure to servers, desktops, etc and in 1994 we started importing Compaq (now HP) computing devices & started selling & supporting it to large customers from various industry verticals. Compaq India made their presence in India & since then till to date we are partners with them & have won many awards for Best National & Regional Service provider for consecutive 5 and 8 years.
In 1998, we ventured into Systems Integration by partnering with industry stalwarts - Cisco and Lucent Technologies (now Avaya). On gaining expertise on networking, security we were soon recognized as best integration partners by our clients. This was the period when large organizations started adopting IT in true sense & we benefited by being early adopters & providers of critical solutions & services.
Our solutions & services were appreciated & accepted by some of the large customers across India. We started opening offices throughout the country to support our growth momentum. We were now poised for growth…
The 2000’s – Innovation & Expansion in new millennium
