US-based leasing firm – CSI Leasing – has expanded its Asia-Pacific operations to India.

With offices already in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Australia, India represents a “significant opportunity”, according to Arnaldo Rodriguez, president of CSI Leasing.

CSI, an IT, health and media equipment lessor, boasts almost 50 years’ experience and more than $2bn in leased assets for fiscal year 2019.

Explaining the firm’s decision to expand, Rodriguez commented: “The increased demand from our existing global customers, as well as the domestic market opportunity, encouraged us to commence operations in India.”

With more than 70 offices worldwide, Rodriguez believes the expansion to India is proof of the firm’s “commitment to enhancing our global customer experience”.

Rodriguez continued: “We are also aligning with several large global Indian service providers and equipment vendors, further strengthening our position as the premier international source for IT and business infrastructure equipment leasing.
