Having earned a mindshare in the industry with our formidable range of Google-certified Smart TVs, we have now also ventured into other Smart Home Appliances like AC, Washing Machine, and Refrigerator. We owe this success to our loyal fan base who elevated our status from a low-priced Smart TV brand to a technology leader in India’s market for consumer durables.”

For ACs and Washing Machines, we are focused at claiming the fourth slot by the same time period. With our current factory located in Tirupati, we will not only manufacture TVs but also washing machines and refrigerators. In the long term, we also envision setting up an elaborate R&D centre in India. This has been made possible with the riveting love that we have received from our audience in the country. To the same end, we have come up with anniversary special discounts and offers for our users and are affirmative that they would gracefully accept it as a token of our gratitude.”
