Cleaner Images for the best viewing experience!

Poised to make a colorful start from Andhra Pradesh, the most dynamic of all Indian television markets, the Godrej EON XLCD - with iPIX technology makes your screen come alive with strikingly Cleaner Images that you may never have seen or imagined before. Intelligent Processing for Image Excellence (iPIX) Technology uses the similar technology used by remote sensing satellites to receive input signals and cleans them by reducing video noise levels, improving sharpness and clarity for a flawless viewing experience. One of the biggest plus points that Godrej has with iPIX technology is that it is perhaps the only demonstrable technology which shows visual improvement in the video images.

iPIX works on the input signals in four ways:

p iPIX Sharpness Enhancement : iPIX corrects blurred, hazy images. The superior built in algorithm uses a unique filter to enhance vertical and horizontal details to produce natural images with sharper transients. Image defects are detected and immediately corrected for much sharper and cleaner images on your LCD screen

p iPIX Color Optimizer: Brightness and color information is analyzed for every pixel. Red, Green and Blue pixels are treated independently so the image does not look unnaturally bright or faded

p iPIX Contrast Enhancer: Dark or bright regions of the picture are stretched towards the corresponding shade, with regions in-between enhanced to give a more impressively detailed and contrasting image

p iPIX Skin Tone Reproduction: Detects skin pixels and adjust hues for more lifelike natural skin tone

Commenting on their entry into the television category, Mr. George Menezes, COO, Godrej Appliances said, “Godrej has always focused its efforts on innovative design and technology aimed at delivering the most efficient and enjoyable products for the masses. Godrej has rich knowledge and years of experience in aerospace technology and we have garnered this expertise to give the Indian consumer a revolution in TV viewing. We have spent the last 3 years not just in developing superior technology but also in developing the infrastructure, most critical being service for LCDs and CRTs. Infact, in Andhra Pradesh, our service network is the largest, even before the launch of the

product. We are confident that our precision designed EON range of televisions with iPIX Technology for Cleaner Images will raise the bar on the markets expectations. Andhra Pradesh is an excellent market for televisions and we are looking forward to the continued support and patronage of our customers here.”

Added Mr. Kamal Nandi, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Godrej Appliances, “Nowadays, the Indian consumer is well aware of what is available in the market and demands the highest quality products using the latest technology. Customers are even willing to pay a premium provided they get the best in class. Television continues to be one of the fastest growing markets, more so in LCDs for which we have specially designed the Godrej EON XLCD with iPIX technology. Before making their purchase, customers can take a demonstration and actually see the Cleaner Images our technology delivers. We are confident of making a significant impact into the Andhra Pradesh market within the first few months of our launch, after which we will move into other states.”

Godrej’s EON Range of televisions consists of 13 XLCD and CRT models of different screen sizes from 15” to 42” configured with various speaker options for full rich sound. More details of the range and features are provided in a separate sheet. The range will be available across Andhra Pradesh from Godrej showrooms and its extensive dealer network.

The launch will be supported through a well planned advertising and marketing strategy highlighting the “Cleaner Images” through iPIX technology, using various media channels and customer demo/education initiatives. Prior to its launch, Godrej had run an interesting pre launch teaser campaign about Scientists inventing an advanced ‘Clean Up’ technology. The idea was to arouse curiosity about what this “Clean up” was all about – which is the Godrej EON XLCD range that gives “Cleaner Images”.

Changing lifestyles have resulted in the widespread use of frozen foods, which have in turn led to growth in demand for freezers. Growth in organized retail chains and supermarkets on one hand, while on the other, changing preference in dining, have together resulted in the increased consumption of frozen food products.

“This new range of Freezers marks a step forward our endeavor to bring in innovative products to the Indian market and create new need focused categories. These New Freezer models are energy efficient and CFC free therefore they save power and cut-down on the electricity bills. The retail industry is on a boom and as it gets more and more organized the growth in demand for cold retail chains is bound to increase.” says Mr. Pranay Dhabhai, Whole Time Director & COO, Haier Appliances India.

The air-conditioning and refrigeration market in India is likely to witness a spectacular growth in the near future. Much of this growth is anticipated to take place in the commercial rather than the household sector. The process of storing, transporting and displaying food at appropriate temperatures will gain more significance. The annual production of refrigerated cabinets presently is estimated to be around 2 lakh units comprising of chest freezers, display cabinets, bottle coolers and visi-coolers.

The highlight of these freezers is their tropicalised compressor which is tested at 43 C to 53 C ambiences to gives it a wide climate zone design suited especially for Indian weather conditions. The models are available in 100L – 500L capacity and have a temperature range between 17 degrees to 23 degrees centigrade. During the first phase of the launch, all the current models will be imported, but then they will be manufactured in India subsequently at the Haier’s manufacturing facility in Ranjangaon near Pune.

Haier Deep Freezers are specially relevant for the Indian market conditions as they are built in such a way that interior temperature of the freezer is maintained even without electricity for as long for as long as 5-6 hours in case of power failure. The Deep and quick freezing facility also helps cool quicker thus consumes less electricity and helps save on electricity bills. Some of the other features include mechanical temperature control with power indicator and High pressure foam cover for efficient Temperature preservation. The Freezer is easily movable from one place to another due to the presence of castor wheels.

The power consumption in the Haier Deep Freezers is among the lowest in the category when compared to other Deep freezers available in the market. The Haier freezers help save around 30-40% in the electricity bills. All the machines come equipped with an in-built interior light, which makes it easier to select stuff from a freezer that holds a variety of products in the same category, for e.g. ice creams. Haier is very keen to take customer response to the next level therefore for the first time in the Deep Freezer category Haier has a 24x7 service complain registration no. to guarantee a anytime, every time service to the customer.

Satellier’s India DMS services are available in four areas critical to project success: design coordination, design localization, design documentation, and BIM management that will eliminate design and construction errors, reduce time-to-market, and increase quality of the building product.

The Indian real estate market is experiencing a remarkable boom characterized by over 30 percent annual growth and forecasted to reach $90B by 2015. Primary contributors include recent GDP growth of over 9%, the entry of multinational companies into the country, global expansion of major domestic companies, increased spending power among the middle class, progressive government initiatives, wide acceptance of BPO/outsourcing business models, and strong foreign investments. The world’s top design firms are planning next-generation office campuses, shopping malls, complete new townships and housing complexes, medical centers, and hospitality sites for construction throughout the country.

“Satelllier is in a unique position to offer design management services for these aspiring new developments,” said Michael Jansen, CEO of Satellier. “On the one hand, we have completed production of over 5000 international projects. No one has more technical, production, or partnership experience on state-of-the-art developments worldwide; on the other hand, our team of over 450 architectural professionals hails from India, with onshore experience and connections in over 1000 domestic projects.”

Jansen, a permanent resident of India and a member of the Indian Institute of Architects (IIA), with 14 years of AEC practice experience in India and extensive knowledge of the Indian real estate industry and its key influencers, concluded, “Our global know-how and local presence allows us to fill the gap with critical services and ensure the design-through-construction success of these emerging landmarks. We anticipate that India will be one of our strongest global markets in the coming 12 months.”

The value and importance of filling the gap between international design practices and local construction realities was underscored in a recent report by Economic Research India. Among the report’s conclusions was, “A sound construction industry is crucial to the economic development and the growth of infrastructure… With the economy opening up and, consequently, its growing needs, the construction industry is required to keep pace with scientific and technological advances… To achieve vision 2020, every aspect of the construction industry should move with speed.”
