CEO Arjun Bajaj’s Words
The CEO of Daiwa TV, Arjun Bajaj, stated, “We are happy about the launch of our new Smart TVs in India. The latest models from Daiwa provide premium features like bezel-less design, voice recognition, Cloud TV OS, and more for an affordable price. We are happy to report that India provided the country’s R&D and technology for the new gadget.
He continues, “Despite the fact that the Indian market faces significant inflationary issues, Daiwa is committed to bringing out the best for our consumers, tailored to their needs at the correct pricing points.
Birth of Daiwa Brand
Arjun Bajaj, the son of one of India’s major TV manufacturing firms, was considering how he could improve the 34-year-old electronics company owned by his family. E-commerce websites like Amazon, Flipkart, and Snapdeal had established a foothold in the Indian retail sector while he was overseas. They had provided an opportunity for conventional business owners to learn about internet sales channels.
Arjun presented his father with a business concept in 2016. He informed him that with an investment plan of less than Rs 5 lakh for an online sales play. They could introduce three sizes of flat-screen smart TVs and the Daiwa brand was introduced.
Dad is an engineer and is familiar with all the current specifications needed for a TV; I took care of the e-commerce relationships, adds Arjun. He went calling on a few e-commerce firms with a handful of ideas in hand. At that point, he understood that the price was everything while conducting business in India. Within a month, Arjun had an inventory of 50 TVs and started corresponding with Shopclues, Flipkart, and Amazon buy managers.
The Realisation
He had to attend a few meetings before he realised that some of them were uninterested in the benefits he was providing the sector. While meeting with business leaders and promoting a superior make-in-India smart TV, Arjun claims that their only concern was lowering prices. He remained firm, though, maintaining control over price.
The Greater Noida facility has the capacity to produce 2,000 televisions every day. The production of TVs on demand is boosted up by the use of Surface Mounting Technology. Which involves physically mounting television components on the motherboard.
