K-FON (Kerala Fibre Optic Network), promoted by the government of Kerala, will now offer over-the-top (OTT) services to users. Initially, 29 OTT platforms and 350 digital channels will be available through #KFON. Subscribers will have access to all major OTT platforms, and special launch offers are also available to consumers. K-FON was launched last year with the goal of providing high-speed internet connectivity to every household and institution in Kerala. #Kerala is the first state in India to declare internet access as a basic right for all citizens. The company has already provided 116,075 broadband connections state wide. Additionally, free internet connections have been given to 14,194 Below Poverty Line families, including tribal households in remote areas like Kottur and Attappadi. K-FON now holds an ISPA license, allowing the company to offer internet services anywhere in India. K-FON is expected to significantly reduce the digital divide in Kerala by expanding its services in a timebound manner.

Not Samsung. Not LG. Yet 1 in every 2 LED TVs sold in India comes from this Noida-based company. Dixon Technologies — India’s quiet manufacturing powerhouse. 📜 The Origin Story 1993: 23-year-old Sunil Vachani borrows ₹15 lakh from his father to set up a modest unit in Noida. Products? CRT TVs, video game consoles, and push-button phones. Early clients included LG, Philips, SEGA, and even the Government of India. 💡 The Big Shift Instead of building a consumer brand, Dixon chose the B2B route — focusing on Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS). In 2008, Motilal Oswal’s PE investment took Dixon’s valuation from <₹150 crore to nearly ₹20,000 crore pre-IPO. 🏭 The Scale Today • FY24 Revenue: ₹17,713 crore (~$2.04B) • Clients: Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola, Google Pixel, Oppo, Vivo, BoAt, HMD-Nokia, and more. • Facilities: 17 plants across India (LED TVs, washing machines, refrigeration, PCB manufacturing) • Workforce: ~15,000 employees • Automation: 24×7 high-precision manufacturing lines 🌏 Why It Matters The global China Plus One trend + India’s PLI incentives are turning Dixon into a strategic manufacturing ally — not just for India, but for the world. Dixon proves: India doesn’t just consume — it manufactures for the world. #MakeInIndia #Manufacturing #Electronics #DixonTechnologies #IndiaGrowth

India’s recent focus on developing #AI-native #telecom technologies isn’t just a policy headline, it’s a real shift in how future networks will be built and governed. The Department of Telecommunications is backing this with serious intent, working through C-DoT, IITs, and standards bodies like ITU and 3GPP to define how networks should evolve in the AI era. This matters because network complexity is already rising, and legacy architectures won’t hold up. At Juniper Networks, we believe open, #intelligent infrastructure is the way forward. If the goal is to build networks that can manage themselves, adapt in real time, and deliver reliable outcomes across use cases such as cities, healthcare, and disaster response, then collaboration between government, industry, and academia will be key. What India is building today could shape how global #networks function tomorrow. We’re watching closely and we’re ready to contribute.
