Earlier, Praveen Sahai was leading the business for Iomega (an EMC company) as Director of Sales, India & SAARC, and Strategic Marketing Director, Asia Pacific for the last eight years. 

Besides EMC, Sahai who has almost two decades plus of experience, has worked with numerous Indian companies and MNCs including Sun Microsystems, StorageTek and Citrix.
