With increasing investments in R&D, localized manufacturing, and intelligent AV solutions, India has the potential to become not just a cost-efficient manufacturing destination, but a global innovation hub for future-ready collaboration and interactive technologies.
EB: Digital transformation is accelerating rapidly across tier-2 and tier-3 cities in India. What unique opportunities do you see for AI-enabled interactive technologies in these emerging markets, particularly in education and enterprise modernization?
Dr. Ramya: Digital transformation across tier-2 and tier-3 cities is creating a massive opportunity for AI-enabled interactive technologies, especially in education and enterprise modernization. Schools, coaching institutes, government projects, SMEs, and corporate offices in these markets are increasingly adopting smart classrooms, hybrid collaboration tools, and digital communication platforms to improve engagement, productivity, and accessibility. AI-powered interactive solutions can help bridge the quality gap by enabling personalized learning, multilingual support, remote collaboration, intelligent content creation, and simplified training experiences. At the same time, enterprises are adopting intelligent displays, OPS-based computing, and video conferencing solutions to modernize operations and support hybrid working models. Under the Solitaire brand, we see strong growth potential for locally manufactured Interactive Flat Panel Displays (IFPDs), OPS Computers, Video Conferencing Cameras, and AI-driven collaboration technologies that can deliver affordable, scalable, and future-ready digital transformation solutions across emerging Indian markets.
EB: Looking ahead, what do you believe the future classroom and future workspace will look like over the next five years, and how will AI-driven interactive experiences redefine the way people learn, communicate, and collaborate?
Dr. Ramya: Over the next five years, future classrooms and workspaces will become far more intelligent, connected, and experience-driven, with AI playing a central role in transforming how people learn, communicate, and collaborate. Traditional static environments will evolve into highly interactive ecosystems powered by AI-enabled displays, real-time collaboration platforms, cloud connectivity, analytics, and immersive communication technologies. In education, AI will enable personalized learning paths, automated assessments, multilingual support, intelligent content recommendations, and more engaging hybrid learning experiences. In enterprise environments, AI-driven collaboration tools will enhance productivity through smart meeting assistance, real-time transcription and translation, wireless collaboration, and data-driven decision-making. Under the Solitaire brand, we believe technologies such as Interactive Flat Panel Displays (IFPDs), OPS Computers, Video Conferencing Cameras, and AI-powered collaboration platforms will become the foundation of future-ready classrooms and workplaces, making interactions more seamless, inclusive, and intelligent than ever before.
