Rajesh Goenka Director & CEO, Rashi Peripherals Limited
Rajesh Goenka expects Rashi Peripherals’ next growth phase to extend beyond its established Personal Computing & Enterprise Solutions and Lifestyle & IT Essentials businesses, with high-margin enterprise technologies and embedded and semiconductor solutions becoming significant growth drivers.
Digital transformation, cloud expansion and AI adoption are increasing enterprise demand for data-centre infrastructure, High-Performance Computing and cybersecurity. The addition of WEKA.io strengthens the company’s ability to support advanced AI and machine-learning architectures at scale.
Another strategic growth area is Rashi Peripherals’ joint venture with Japan’s Restar Corporation. The partnership brings advanced image-sensing solutions, localised engineering and Field Application Engineering capabilities, targeting Automotive Tier-1 companies, industrial robotics, enterprise surveillance and EMS/ECMS manufacturing. Goenka views this as a significant move into the expanding semiconductor and embedded solutions market
This diversification reflects RP tech’s broader philosophy of moving beyond “box-moving” logistics towards becoming an integrated solutions provider. Its acquisition of VDA Infosolutions supports this transition by extending enterprise capabilities into Hybrid Cloud, cybersecurity, DevOps and Managed IT Services.
The company’s Embedded Lab in Bengaluru provides another differentiator, acting as an extension of global OEMs through reference solutions and customised application development that can accelerate customer design cycles. Technology is also transforming internal operations. Rashi Peripherals’ nationwide supply chain operates on SAP S/4HANA combined with Power BI real-time analytics, enabling automated inventory planning and logistics optimisation. By combining distribution scale, enterprise services, engineering capabilities and automation, Goenka aims to deliver greater value to Rashi Peripherals’ network of more than 10,250 channel partners.
