【Mumbai/ New Delhi】Samsung, India's largest consumer electronics and durables major, is restructuring operations. New president of Southwest Asia, based in India, HyunChil Hong, who took over from B D Park recently, looks to improve revenues and market share in the world's second-largest mobile phone market.
　Sectoral sources say the company is bringing focus back on sales, merging marketing operations to cut flab. There have been a few exits as a result, including that of Tarun Malik, director and head of digital content, cloud and the media solutions centre, and of Sandeep Bhushan, director of the go-to-market strategy.
Sources also say the company might look to reduce workforce in its mobile phone division. This division gives Samsung 69 per cent or Rs 27,912 crore, of the total India revenue of Rs 40,392 crore (2013-14), according to Registrar of Companies (RoC) filings. Revenue from mobile handsets almost doubled for Samsung India from what it was at the end of March 2010.
