As part of its entry into India, MITSUMI Distribution is committing an investment of ₹700–1,000 crore over the next three years to build a strong and scalable foundation in the market.

The company plans to progressively expand its presence across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in line with market demand and vendor partnerships, while continuing to invest in local talent. To support efficient nationwide distribution, MITSUMI Distribution is also establishing a logistics network across 14 locations in India in its initial phase. This network is designed to service all major and emerging markets, ensuring faster reach, improved availability and operational efficiency.
With the ambition to become a distributor of choice, MITSUMI aims to deliver unmatched nationwide coverage, bringing the latest innovations directly to partners in every corner of the country. The company is committed to establishing itself as the distributor of choice through superior supply chain services, extensive logistics, and value-added support for resellers, enterprises, and institutions.
Speaking on the India entry, Jagat Shah, Chairman and CEO, MITSUMI Group, said, “India is at a defining moment in its technology journey, where scale, aspiration and digitization are converging at an unprecedented pace. For MITSUMI Distribution, India is not a tactical market entry but a long-term strategic commitment. Our vision is to build a distribution platform that matches the country’s diversity and depth, combining global best practices with strong local execution. Over the next three years, our planned investment in infrastructure, inventory, and local credit will allow us to build one of the most robust and reliable distribution networks in the country. We are here to invest, scale responsibly and become a trusted enabler of India’s next phase of technology growth.”
“With our deep Indian roots, and understanding of this market, we see this expansion as a homecoming as much as a growth move. What partners and brands can expect from MITSUMI Distribution in India is clarity of intent and consistency of execution. Our focus is on creating a high-performance distribution engine, backed by strong logistics, disciplined credit, market intelligence, and deep partner engagement. By working closely with system integrators, SMB partners, large-format retail, and online players, we aim to ensure that the latest IT and mobile technologies are available, accessible, and profitable for every stakeholder in the value chain” said, Mitesh Shah, Founder & Managing Director, MITSUMI Group.
MITSUMI Distribution’s India strategy is built on strong local teams, scalable infrastructure, and a differentiated service approach that includes credit support, responsive after-sales, and agile logistics. The company intends to replicate its MEA success model in India by focusing on operational excellence, transparent relationships, and joint business planning with vendors and partners. Over time, the company expects its India operations to become a key growth engine for the group, supporting innovation adoption across enterprises, SMBs, and consumers, and contributing to the country’s broader digital transformation agenda.
