Today, brand awareness of Lenovo is 85% in corporates & 74% in consumer space

Two years and many brand building initiatives later, Lenovo is still not a patch on the market leader. But it has survived, and retained the legacy of its parents. Of course there is the frontier of price, for which Rahul states, “We will never claim to be a price leader.” And he reiterates that leadership has to be in terms of best products & customer satisfaction as well. Indeed, the value proposition of Lenovo is strong, but the company has to ensure aggressive pricing as well as to grab more market share. After all, the PC business is a numbers game at the end of the day. Faltering on numbers today will mean letting HP walk away with the honours, perhaps permanently, as it already seems to be doing. But for Lenovo’s sake, one would really like to believe in Neeraj’s exuberance, when he exclaims with élan that, “The tough times are just over and the fun (for Lenovo) has just begun!”
