ViewSonic's Vision for India: Smarter, Greener, and High-Performance Projectors for Every Need
New Delhi – In an exclusive interaction, Mr. Muneer Ahmad, Vice President – Sales and Marketing at ViewSonic India, shares insights into the brand's evolving projector strategy for the Indian market. From cutting-edge 4K and laser innovations to portable smart solutions tailored for hybrid lifestyles, he highlights how ViewSonic is addressing local demands, expanding to Tier II and III cities, and driving sustainability through energy-efficient technologies and Make in India initiatives. Q1. What are the latest technological advancements that ViewSonic has integrated into its projector lineup, especially for the Indian market? ViewSonic has significantly advanced its projector lineup to meet the evolving needs of the Indian market, introducing 2nd Generation LED projectors with enhanced brightness, extended operational life, and precise color accuracy, making them ideal for educational, corporate, and home entertainment settings. Complementing this, our new RGB Laser projectors set a benchmark for ultra-bright, true-to-life imagery while minimizing maintenance and power consumption, aligning with India's growing demand for durable, energy-efficient technology. Q2. How does ViewSonic plan to cater to the growing demand for smart and portable projectors in India, especially among hybrid workers and home entertainment users? We've seen a sharp rise in demand for smart and portable projectors in India, particularly from hybrid workers and home entertainment enthusiasts, and we've tailored our offerings to match that shift. Our Xbox-Certified Projectors are a great example—they're crafted to deliver a premium big-screen experience that's perfect for both immersive gaming and cinematic viewing at home. Beyond that, we've focused on designing lightweight and compact models that come equipped with built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and app support. These features make setup incredibly simple and enable seamless connectivity across devices, which is a huge plus for people balancing work and entertainment in the same space. Whether it's a quick business presentation or a weekend movie night, our projectors are built to adapt to versatile, modern lifestyles. Q3. Could you shed some light on ViewSonic's roadmap for 4K and laser projectors in India? Are there any upcoming launches in this category? We're witnessing a sustained and growing interest in premium home theatre solutions in India, as more consumers seek a 4K cinematic experience right from their living rooms. Simultaneously, there's a rising demand for laser projectors that offer ultra-high resolution, exceptional brightness, and long-term reliability. To meet this need, we have exciting new models in the pipeline, specifically designed to align with Indian market trends and consumer expectations. These upcoming launches will combine cutting-edge imaging technology with user-friendly features, delivering an unparalleled viewing experience for home entertainment, professional use, and educational applications. Q4. What role does India play in ViewSonic's global projector strategy? Are you seeing any unique trends or demands here compared to other markets? India has become a key focus in our global projector strategy, especially as the market here is currently showing stronger growth compared to several other regions. We're seeing rapid adoption across segments like home entertainment and a noticeable shift toward lamp-free technologies, such as LED and laser projectors. There's also a growing preference for high-lumen projectors that perform well in varying ambient lighting conditions, which is quite specific to the Indian use case, where versatility is essential. The rise in 4K home theatre setups further underscores a demand for premium, immersive visual experiences. These trends make India not just a growth market, but also a space that's helping shape our product development and innovation roadmap globally. Q5. With the rise of EdTech and smart classrooms in India, how is ViewSonic positioning its projectors as a part of digital learning ecosystems? While projectors continue to hold their ground in government-led education initiatives, particularly where large screen size and cost-effectiveness are essential, ViewSonic's focus is on interactive flat panels (IFPs) as a part of modern digital learning ecosystems. IFPs are increasingly popular in smart classrooms due to their interactive capabilities and ease of use, making them ideal for urban educational settings. However, we also recognize the ongoing relevance of projectors in rural and budget-sensitive environments. By offering a versatile range of visual solutions, we ensure that learning remains dynamic and accessible, tailored to diverse educational needs across India. ' Q6. Is ViewSonic investing in any R&D or partnerships in India to develop localized features or innovations for projectors?

Yale professors warn international students new Trump travel ban may be imminent
Yale Law School professors have sent a warning to international students about an imminent US travel ban, as the Trump administration appears poised to implement sweeping new restrictions on foreign nationals entering the country. In an email on Sunday night, Yale law professors Muneer Ahmad and Michael Wishnie warned students from potentially affected countries they should consider returning to the United States immediately if abroad or avoid leaving if currently in the US. 'While the government has not formally announced a travel ban, credible reporting strongly suggests that it may imminently suspend the admission of nationals from targeted countries, just as it did in 2017,' wrote the professors, who both instruct on workers and immigrants rights. It's unclear if the email went to all Yale Law school students, and the university did not respond to a request for comment on whether an official advisory was coming. The email followed similarly timed notices from Brown University, coming after reports from Reuters and the New York Times that the Trump administration is considering a sweeping new travel ban that could target citizens from as many as 43 countries, with 11 nations facing a complete travel prohibition. According to the outlets, the most severe restrictions would apply to a 'red list' of 11 countries whose nationals would be flatly barred from entering the US: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. A second 'orange' tier would include countries facing sharp visa restrictions, including Belarus, Pakistan, Russia and Haiti. A third 'yellow' tier would give 21 countries, mostly in Africa, 60 days to address security concerns. Yale's email guidance went beyond those from targeted nations, adding that all foreign students and scholars could face heightened scrutiny. The law professors indicated that individuals might be questioned about support for Palestinian causes by border officials and could have their visas revoked based on their responses. 'We cannot advise you on how to answer such questions,' the professors wrote, 'but you should be prepared to respond to them.' The notice is also a part of a broader pattern that began months ago, when more than a dozen US colleges and universities began issuing advisories to their international students to return to campus before Trump assumed office, anticipating a repeat of the travel bans seen during his first term. The impending travel ban follows Trump's somewhat low-profile 20 January executive order mandating the state department identify countries 'for which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries'. The department's report, due by 21 March, is expected to finalize these recommendations before implementation. Across university campuses, the potential ban and targeting barrage has rocked student and faculty bodies alike, particularly after recent high-profile deportation cases. Dr Rasha Alawieh, a kidney transplant specialist and professor at Brown University's medical school, was deported to Lebanon last week despite holding a valid visa and securing a court order temporarily blocking her expulsion. Sign up to This Week in Trumpland A deep dive into the policies, controversies and oddities surrounding the Trump administration after newsletter promotion Judge Leo T Sorokin of the federal district court in Massachusetts later noted there was reason to believe US Customs and Border Protection had 'willfully disobeyed' his order to provide notice before deporting Dr Alawieh. Meanwhile, Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and permanent US resident, was detained at his university apartment while his eight-months pregnant wife watched. Khalil, a Palestinian born in Syria who had served as a mediator between protesters and university officials during campus demonstrations, was transferred to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in New Jersey before being flown to Louisiana without his family being informed of his whereabouts. The Council on American-Islamic Relations responded to the developing situation in early March by issuing its own travel advisory, urging those legally present in the US to avoid international travel for the next 30 days if they are citizens of countries potentially affected by the ban.
