Newline Interactive enhances collaboration with user-friendly solutions, streamlining communication, empowering organizations to excel, and delivering outstanding support to foster lasting partnerships and achieve success. During an exclusive interaction with Smart Solutions World, Mr. Karthik Narayanan, MD – India & Middle East, Newline Interactive shares insights on the company’s achievements, innovations, and future plans.
Newline Interactive’s Key Achievements in 2024
2024 has been an immensely successful year for Newline Interactive, with over 10,000 panels sold across India. A significant focus has been on integrating AI technology into their solutions, leading to innovations such as panels featuring optical bonding and advanced chipsets like the A311D2. In line with the government’s “Make in India” initiative, Newline is also excited to announce plans for establishing their own facility in India. The company invites everyone to explore their wide range of products available on their website, newlineinteractive.in.
Partnership with Glory Infocom and Its Impact on Growth
The three-year partnership with Glory Infocom has been a key driver of Newline’s growth. Glory Infocom has a strong presence in Delhi and surrounding states like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh, and their excellent after-sales support and marketing capabilities have been pivotal in expanding Newline’s reach. In the northern region alone, over 5,000 panels were sold last year, and the company aims to surpass 8,000 units this year through this partnership, demonstrating its integral role in Newline’s success.
Trends Shaping India’s Interactive Panel Market
India is one of the largest markets for interactive panels, with an estimated size of over 200,000 units, alongside regions like China, the U.S., and Europe. Unlike China, whose market is declining, and stagnant growth in the U.S. and Europe, India continues to be a high-growth region. Newline’s focus for the next three years is firmly on India, with the launch of their latest education and corporate series panels tailored to the diverse needs of Indian users.
AI-Driven Innovations by Newline
Recognizing the global trend toward AI-driven solutions, Newline introduced the Newline Canvas, the world’s first AI annotation software integrated into interactive panels. This software simplifies teaching by providing AI-powered tools, 3D videos, and interactive content to enhance student understanding. Additionally, Newline is extending its reach beyond classrooms with a new 43-inch TV designed for home-based education. This product features educational apps and AI-driven content, offering a personalized tuition experience for students in subjects like English, Mathematics, and Science.
Engaging Tier 2 and Tier 3 Cities
Newline understands the need to go beyond Tier 1 cities to cater to India’s vast and diverse geography. To achieve this, they set an ambitious goal to host partner events in 33 cities across India, starting in July 2024. As of now, they have successfully covered 26 cities. These events help Newline connect with local partners, educate them about their solutions, and demonstrate the potential of their products. The event in Delhi at Crowne Plaza is just the beginning of many more initiatives to expand their reach.
Expanding into the Corporate Market
While the education sector remains a strong focus, Newline is also targeting significant opportunities in the corporate sector. Their solutions are designed not only for meeting rooms but also for industries such as healthcare, online coaching, and hospitality. For instance, Newline’s solutions can enhance medical training and patient care, while their offerings for online coaching and hospitality are tailored to meet specific industry requirements. With a thriving education market and a predicted boom in the corporate sector, Newline is well-positioned to capture this growth.
Newline’s Latest Solutions
Newline’s latest products feature Android 13 and Android 14, integrated with AI capabilities, offering an unparalleled user experience. Despite the challenges faced in 2024, including global economic uncertainties, Newline is optimistic about 2025. The improving India-China relations and changing political landscape provide confidence that the interactive panel segment in India will experience significant growth.
Message to Partners and Customers
Newline expresses deep gratitude to their partners and customers for their ongoing support. India’s dynamic market presents numerous opportunities, and Newline is committed to delivering innovative, high-quality solutions tailored to its needs. The company encourages everyone to visit their website, newlineinteractive.in, to explore the latest offerings.
