In a move that further strengthens its India sales and support infrastructure with over 40 years of combined A/V sales experience, Harman Professional today announced the creation of three new sales teams positions and the appointments of Kaushal Garg, Robin Ghose, and Vibhor Khanna to fill the roles.

Garg, an electrical engineer with a degree in management from AIMA, comes to Harman with 22 years of experience at Bhartia Cutler Hammer, a switchgear company, and most recently Bose India, where he was the head of the Professional Division for sales for the past 12 years. At Harman, he will work with his team to

Reporting to Garg, Ghose will be responsible for providing support for all of Harman Professional’s sales initiatives in Western India.

Before coming to Harman, Ghose worked for nine years at various different Audio-Visual and electronics companies, where he gained experience in sales, distribution, channel management and product operations.
Before coming to Harman, Khanna spent a total of nine years working in AV sales, with eight of those years working as the Regional Sales Manager for North and South India at Bose. Prior to Bose, he worked in Skyweb India as a Senior Executive in Corporate Relations. In his new position, Khanna will focus on the sales portfolio for Harman Professional’s Northern region, and will report directly to Garg, who will in turn report directly to David McKinney.
“Everyone at Harman Professional is very excited to welcome Kaushal, Robin and Vibhor to the team in India,� said David McKinney, Senior Director of Sales for Asia, Harman Professional. “They will all be working closely with our marketing & communications, technical support and service teams to develop new strategies and initiatives that will ultimately bring a greater level of support to dealers, customers and channel partners throughout all of India, and we are confident that each member will make a different but equally important contribution to that goal.�
