  • Balancing environment and accessibility in BRAVIA entertainment products

To contribute to this vision, BRAVIA will pursue innovations that provide the best viewing experience with high picture and sound quality and a premium design, all while contributing to reducing environmental impact. BRAVIA 7 uses Sony’s proprietary signal processing to maximize the characteristics of the panel device (Mini LED), automatically optimizing brightness for each scene while achieving both high brightness and low power consumption.

Sony is working on multiple aspects of the product life cycle, such as reducing virgin plastic use, improving transportation efficiency, and reviewing energy consumption during use. From material development to exterior design, BRAVIA has succeeded in significantly increasing the use of recycled materials while maintaining a high-quality finish. SORPLAS™, a recycled plastic developed by Sony, is used for the back cover, which has the largest surface area on a TV, with approximately 65% of the total plastic used being recycled material. The compact, rechargeable Eco Remote is also made from approximately 79.7% recycled plastic.

Sony aims to contribute to an inclusive society through its business, increasing accessibility to enable those with diverse needs to utilize its products. BRAVIA develops products with accessibility in mind so that all customers can enjoy the movie experience, regardless of disability or age. The Talkback screen reader function allows you to check program listings and set up your TV without looking at the screen. It can also enlarge text and display it on the screen.

Color inversion makes it possible to invert the brightness of colors so that bright areas become dark and dark areas become bright. This feature can be turned on or off as needed. If the text is easier to read with a dark or bright background color, you can use color inversion to change the background color. Voice commands can be used to operate the BRAVIA TV, such as turning the power on/off and adjusting the volume. BRAVIA TVs are also equipped with shortcut commands that allow you to turn on/off accessibility features.

Kiko Live crosses 100,000 fulfilled Kirana orders on the ONDC Network

New Delhi, 21 March 2024: Kiko Live, a SaaS solution for neighbourhood stores and a Seller Network Participant on ONDC Network, has successfully unlocked a major milestone for local kirana stores and retailers on the back of ONDC Network. Kiko Live recently achieved a major milestone of processing over 100,000 total orders on the ONDC Network.

Since its onboarding on the Open Network in December 2023, sellers on Kiko have witnessed significant business growth. From 30-40 orders per day just 3 months ago, Kiko Live is now consistently seeing 2500+ orders per day.

Kiko works directly with Kirana stores to digitize their business. 13 million Kirana stores in India generate over $800 billion in annual business, yet most of them do not have a digital footprint. These sellers continue to depend on orders received over call and Whatsapp for their home delivery business which constitutes over 10% of their business — that’s an $80 billion plus Kirana led home delivery business that already exists today, in spite of availability of Quick Commerce.

Quick commerce at under $4 billion is a small fraction of the Kirana home delivery business even today. Kiko Live helps sellers build their digital storefront on ONDC Network and helps them give their store customers an online experience.

Selling online had been challenging for small retailers in the past. The few who tried, struggled to maintain high inventory fill rates i.e a customer may order 5 items but only receive 3 due to stock-outs. This led to poor buyer experiences. Kiko Live has been able to address this for the retailers, helping them build a thriving business on the ONDC Network. Some retailers are already receiving over 300 orders a day within a couple of weeks of going online.

By leveraging the ONDC Network, Kiko Live has made it easier for small stores to onboard and sell online. A key accomplishment achieved by Kiko Live is enabling high fulfillment rates by the retailers, with sellers achieving 99% order fill rates to date. The app has also focused on a low-cost model of hyperlocal fulfillment.

These efforts have led to order cancellation rates of less than 1% and repeat buying rates that are now crossing 30% of all orders.

Kiko Live success is attributed to their easy to use tech, and their operational efficiency that invests efforts in training retailers, and doing neighborhood activities to promote their sellers and build their business in the early days. Sellers receive handholding till they start receiving 10-15 daily orders. Even after that, remote operations support takes over, assisting sellers till they are able to operate without support.

T Koshy, MD & CEO, ONDC, said, “ONDC Network is helping take digital commerce to every corner of the country in an open, inclusive way that empowers all stakeholders. By creating a level playing field, the Open Network allows small, hyperlocal retailers like Kirana stores to leverage technology, drive new sales channels, and grow their business in ways that was not possible before. We are happy to see Kiko Live’s growth in a short span of 2 months. Facilitating high fulfillment rates and quick deliveries, it has unlocked the potential for thousands of neighborhood Kirana stores to thrive in the digital economy.”

Alok Chawla, Co-Founder, Kiko Live, said, “We celebrate Kiko’s meteoric growth journey, starting with 30-40 orders a day in mid-December 2023, and now helping retailers drive 2500+ orders a day through ONDC Network in just over 3 months. We continue to grow aggressively month on month, from 10,000 orders in January to 40,000 orders in February 2024 and we plan to close March 2024 with over 70,000 orders. We have already helped retailers successfully process over 100,000 orders on ONDC Network and plan to help retailers process over 1.5 million monthly orders before the end of FY25.”

Head and Neck Cancer Cases Account For 30% in India, Urgent Need to Address Tobacco Consumption Among Vulnerable Populations

New Delhi, March 19: India is grappling with a significant burden of head and neck cancer, constituting a majority of global cases. Particularly vulnerable are the underprivileged sections of the society, notably workers and labourers, due to the rampant tobacco consumption. The importance of preventive programs to detect the disease early was emphasized at the 22nd annual RGCON 2024, themed ‘Head and Neck Cancer: Bridging the Gap from Cure to Survivorship’, hosted by the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre (RGCIRC).

“Head and neck cancers represent nearly 30% of all cancer cases in India, with projections indicating a startling 50% increase by 2040,” stated Mr. Rakesh Chopra, Chairman of RGCIRC, during his keynote address. “With 60% of people in the labour class found to be consuming some form of tobacco, they constitute the most vulnerable sections of the society. Preventive measures, therefore become imperative, and early detection plays a pivotal role, as 80% of all cancers are curable in the early stages,” added Mr. Chopra.

Emphasizing the role of technology in diagnostics, Mr. D. S. Negi, CEO of RGCIRC, highlighted AI’s transformative impact. “AI algorithms can swiftly identify cancer patterns, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and significantly reducing the turnaround time. This innovation holds promise in early disease detection and improving patient outcomes,” he remarked.

RGCON 2024 brought together over 250 faculty and over 1,000 delegates from across the globe to deliberate on advancements in cancer treatment.

Dr. (Prof) Sudhir Kumar Rawal, Medical Director and Chief of Genito Uro – Oncology Services, RGCIRC, explained the conference’s significance in fostering research and innovation. “As an academic institution, RGCIRC places a very strong emphasis on research activities. RGCON serves as a platform to witness and adopt new trends in cancer treatment,” he elaborated.

Prof. Alok Thakar, Director of the National Cancer Institute & Director of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at AIIMS, Delhi, praised RGCIRC’s contributions, acknowledging it as a beacon in cancer care. “This institution founded by a group of social activists has set a commendable precedent in cancer treatment,” he commended.

Dr Mudit Agarwal, Unit Head & Senior Consultant of Head & Neck Oncology, RGCIRC, Organizing Secretary – RGCON 2024, expressed gratitude to the global medical fraternity for their participation. “This year’s conference facilitated collaboration among experts from surgery, radiation, medical oncology, and pathology, promising advancements in patient care,” he affirmed.

Dr. A. K. Dewan, Director, Surgical Oncology at RGCIRC termed Head & Neck Cancer as a problem for Asia. “It is a poor man’s disease, chief reasons being smokeless tobacco and smoking. India reports about 1.5 million new cancer cases annually. In 2022, RGCIRC registered about 3,000 cases of Head & Neck cancers, which constitute 19% of all cancers. But less than 30% patients undergo surgery as our focus is on multi-modal treatment.”

RGCON 2024 featured key sessions on advanced treatment modalities such as proton therapy, Brachytherapy, and the integration of AI in cancer care. Noteworthy innovations like the Indian Surgical Robot, SSI Mantra, were also showcased alongside discussions on cost-effective reconstruction methods and facial reanimation techniques.

The organizing team of RGCON 2024 included Dr Mudit Agarwal, Unit Head & Senior Consultant of Head & Neck Oncology, Dr Munish Gairola, Director, Radiation Oncology, Dr. Sumit Goyal, Associate Director, Medical Oncology, Dr. Rajat Saha, Senior Consultant, Medical Oncology, and Dr. Sunil Pasricha, senior consultant, Pathology, and Dr Vikas Arora, consultant, surgical oncology.
