Hewlett-Packard is betting big on gaming, and will launch a completely new range for the segment in the coming months.It is also betting big on virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), especially for work in cinema and films, HP India MD Rajiv Srivastava told ET."Gaming is set to get big because, you know, India has got a very small gaming market so far, but now with so many of these children and college students playing games online... you can do faster, much more evolved gaming on a gaming PC," said Srivastava.The trend will accelerate, along with virtual reality, he added. In the field of VR, the company is looking at capitalising on the growing trend of instant gratification and personalisation.For example, if a person likes a footwear, they would, in the future, be able to go to a shoe shop, take the dimensions of their feet, and feed it into a system and personalise the design of the shoe, and get the exact specification you want."One of the things which AR or VR does is (move) towards a very strong gaming concept and that's the real reason we are coming on with a new range of gaming devices and gaming. We launched our gaming machines in China on JD.com. In one hour, we sold 10,000 machines,"Srivastava said.He also mentioned meeting filmmakers to explore the possibilities of using HP technology for films that will be more personal than earlier. "So, in the film and video there is animation, there is tremendous amount of applicability of virtual reality," he added.In a sluggish PC market, HP has maintained the top spot in personal computers, with an overall market share of 28.8% in the Indian PC market in the third quarter, according to research firm IDC.It grew 18.9% owing to the partial execution of state-owned education project and with increasing large format retailer and online presence during festive and backto-college season.The company is also very positive about the government's Digital India programme.Over the past eight months or so, HP has invested in a separate Digital India business unit, which is "taking our proposition to the government and working with the government at a solution level", Srivastava said.After focusing on expanding to the top 200 towns last year, HP is now looking at expanding the top 200 to top 500 towns.While Srivastava declined to give exact numbers, he said the investment in the entire India portfolio was a "multimillion-dollar investment".He said the company is working closely with the government on healthcare, education, skill, manufacturing, and Make in India.HP also feels demonetisation will drive more demand for e-governance services that people, mostly led by education sector, would want to do on a PC or big screen device instead of a smartphone.It is also working closely to help its customers with the Goods and Services Tax, when it rolls out.
