 12 30 good afternoon guys. I will thanks for the lovely introduction It's been a long time and you know since I've been into Bangalore we just discussing this with my friend a lot of things have changed since since the time I Founded a micro max which is like ten years back or so those times were different and These times are entirely entirely different. So today. I'm here as a as a founder of You tell you entrance. It's a it's a it's my new baby. Although. I'm single, but still I have a baby and Really really excited about that wanted to share all that excitement with all of you guys so I'm here up with all the information that what exactly are we going to do in you but before that I was just meeting outside a lot of people interesting people and And so a lot of passion in terms of startups in terms of all that all the techie guys and that reminds me You know a small incident. I'll just wanna just wanna tell you guys this In year 2000 or so when just Jesus found in micro max. I was visiting the New Orleans so there was the first time I went to us Was looking for business so if you were into e-commerce everything was e-commerce those days Everybody even if you had a furniture furniture guy wanted to have a dot-com behind him so I was there, but only thinking about E-commerce or the technologies those days So I was you know from the New Orleans I was traveling to LA and I was there on the airport and I want to take my boarding pass and the New Orleans There was this actually a black guy was giving the boarding pass, you know, they have a very thick accent So when I just went there he just asked me So you you park your bike yourself said excuse me Said you park your bug yourself. I realize he's saying that you pack your bag yourself. I say I packed in myself so So okay tall guy you are you want a window and I'll said excuse me. So you're a window and I'll and I was not able to Understand anything the only thing You know in that sentence. I understood was window So that he must be thinking a guy from India. India is doing so well in software. So must be asking what operating system you're using I Said a latest vollo, I said windows 2000 Just took out a page do a plane and just say window or an aisle. He got really really angry on me. I saw whatever there So, you know in terms of passion when I see you know met those guys because those days I was only thinking about technology. I was just thinking about, you know, how to how to Create a successful company. So So from there, I've you know founded MicroMax, but as I said today as a founder of you, I'm here Now what exactly is you now and why we came? You know with this this new brand called as you so it's called a why you so Why comes from you and you comes from us? So that's how why and you becomes you that's the whole Ethos behind this whole new brand So It's a brand which is all about you It's a brand as you can say built for the community driven by passion to transform the world So as I said, it's it's it's been a huge transformation from MicroMax to this in micro as you were creating devices devices And of course now featured in top 10 in the world in terms of the device ecosystem But as I said times are changing now We want to move on an entirely different world with this whole evolution of smartphones in This in this whole new You know new ecosystem what we are going to do is in you is Create the biggest ecosystem of connected devices That's what you is all about and you will be created by you it won't it so So earlier it was all for example you were making devices. We were working software We were doing it ourselves But in this in this whole new ecosystem Everything will be driven by you everything you guys will be working on it and then we will be implementing So that's a completely new ecosystem which will disrupt That the status quo of whatever is happening right now in the not only so I'm not here only talking about the mobile space mobile is one Device of course, we know how to make mobile phones good and better So that's why maybe our first device will be mobile phone But apart from this there will be tons and tons of things which will be coming under you The change of operating system, I mean you're running too fast Okay, so See I told you okay So you so the operating system you're not going to use stock Android. You're going to use Cyanogen, I'm sure you must be all you know are all familiar with the cyanogen the best operating system Which has been made again by the whole community and that's that's the beauty all of you guys have come together Create the best operating system is and then will be used by millions and millions of people so I I think I Never seen such a beauty of operating system. So cyanogen is is what? Going to be a default operating system here in you So you plus cyanogen is going to be play God So why we came out with this play God means you are the guys who are going to Create all the apps all the ecosystem everything and then we will be putting them on the device and giving it to you So as I said, it's a platform for all of you Developers hardware hackers designers privacy conscious people and I'll just you know quickly go on one by one So when I say it's a platform for all the all the dev guys Because in this we are going to give an open access to a source root access on device and Of course a highly engaged Immersed community on this so There will be an access to bootloader There will be access, you know will be giving all the kernel source everything out to all of you guys you guys will create products on it write apps on it and And submit and certainly, you know, we guys are gonna host it on our platform, which is Which is the product the phone we are going to come up with so I'll be free you are going fast No, no, that's okay So when I say that you know all the bootloader access and everything will be given to you This means you can you can do anything of you know with the phone You can just you can tear apart it apart. You can just break the code as I said many Anything means the warranty won't be void No warranty void. So we are going to come back support you guys do whatever you want to do with the phone Thank you guys for the appreciation, man. I was just sitting out there. I say yeah It is the guys are really serious all the geeks are really serious. Yeah show some love man so So as I said absolutely no warranty voids you do whatever you want to do and we will be completely backing you Supporting you and all the community will be behind you is supporting you so You'll be free in terms of making doing the whatever you want to you can tear it you can break it will still backing you all the hardware hackers so open platform you know to work on and or base IoT devices And he was telling about you know some of the connected devices also on you know be using NFC As I said unlockable bootloader customized from there So phone is going to be one device But you know look at the world how it is how it's going to change from here. This is the most beautiful time We have seen in terms of technology in terms of how the evolution of our smartphone is changing the world Imagine right now in India. We are around 200 230 million users Imagine a world when we will have 500 million users It's it's anything everything whatever you're going to you're going to put on on these apps Or on the web is going to just fly it's just going to go crazy. So the world is going to be very very different at that time. So Imagine in terms of connected devices Why it's only limited to phone for example, we want to work And these are all random ideas which keeps on coming to You know inside my brain mostly while I'm traveling. So for example, you want to make shirts which will be connected So a shirt should tell you that okay time to wash me You want to work on shoes in a you know, I this is all under you. We want to work on shoes which will You know guide me in terms of my directions, which will you know if I'm double tapping somewhere It should you know, it will save the location Or of course, you know in terms of calorie counters all those things will be there You want to work on various healthcare devices? Because healthcare again is going to be a big big big ecosystem so healthcare We just don't want to work on a band and say all right because You know once you wear a band after one month two months, you normally don't tend to use it Go and think beyond all those So on on healthcare we're going to release something by end of this month once we launch you so So we are working on a lot of healthcare devices So as I said any crazy idea which comes to your mind, you know on connected devices please Join the forum Let us know and we would like to work along with you all the designers out here India specific marketplace. We're going to create for apps and themes Open platform and framework for all of you know all the designers so you can create customized your icon packs theme packs So all your creative juices whatever they've been flowing And if you want to show the world that this is the way your phone should look like please make all those themes submit to us and we're going to put on our phones and Let the world use it So by the way you the first Destination for you is India.

So for example, if you if you have a Facebook app They can they can control your camera even you know and they can all you even click pictures That's the sort of access all these apps will have but in this operating system in this OS You have the choice to block all of these things So if you don't want your data to go out You is the answer And when I say you is the answer means you is the you know You are the guys who actually have created this and we are going to use it So it's an open source and you know what's on your device. It won't be get shared So for example, if we is asking you a Data information if you don't want to send in you have your privacy settings on it will just send a blank file all right, so This This tons and tons of things actually there are thousands of features which we have implemented on the device and We just want all of you guys Should get what you want not something what companies want to create and then give it to you So it is all about you. So just a small feature For example, if you don't want to get inside the settings and increase or decrease the brightness of your phone You know you should be able to do that From here itself and like this there are tons of features, you know in the in the app drawer if I just want to do this It will be you know different settings from here different icon packs, so Huge sort of customization what all of you guys can do already certain things have already been implemented using sonogen But in times to come imagine the time in lay in next one year two year how it will unfold and how exactly it will evolve So with contribution of all of you guys, we are starting this journey which is called as you and Starting here with an app contest We will be looking at all the apps. Please create as I said show some love and a first winner cash prize of a lakh rupees And second third will also get you phones probably the first ones to get you phones and when I say you phones believe me guys This is a promise in terms of features in terms of Product in terms of specs. It is going to be a monster The product is you know will be a monster So today we are launching here on this platform forums But you play God calm so there's a there's a forum which we are starting So all of you guys can come register and then can start submitting the whatever you have been working on and we will try and incorporate I know all the work Whatever we can on this platform and show the world what we are capable of so I Think it's a it's a great beginning. It's a great start for something which is which is which is not about About us which is which is you know only about you. So a Great platform. It's it's a journey which you know, we have started and Imagine in times to come so many people in India as I said from you know from 200 million to 500 million the day we reach it is That the potential is going to be humongous. So please join us in this journey with this. Thank you so much for listening me You know, it's so much of patience and we look forward to your contribution on you know on the forums out here. Thank you so much Well, two quick questions if I may One when does the phone launch and to what's it going to cost? If I answer both of your questions, then there's no point of me doing a press conference in Delhi Yeah, so of course we'll be doing the you know, we'll be launching this product this month itself in in December As I said in terms of specs, it will be a monster it this means it will be able and capable of handling All the apps all the you know, whatever all the people are going to develop simultaneously in terms of pricing Believe me, we have been known as you know in my previous Abdar in in micro max we've been known to disrupt the markets and here also you can expect that we will We will try as much as we can to stun you with pricing Sounds good. Yeah, and so obviously you have a phone in your pocket You have the you phone in your pocket right now Yes, I do have can people come and have a look at it Yeah, you're going to be mobbed when you get off the stage Yeah, you need to give me some time actually I was using it I just actually flew in late night from Taiwan here in the morning So I'm yes I am carrying the phone and using the phone and believe me. I have never seen or used something like this before So I'm just warning you that you're going to get mobbed on the way out People want to see this one. That's why I'm wearing a couple of layers. So All right, any more questions. Yeah, yeah So first of all great job on whatever you have done so far with micro max We've got some very good products that are aggressively priced So what I would like to know is I mean until now as I said the products are very good and they're priced well But the updates though they are not yet timely So what kind of guarantee does this you platform provide as far as updates are concerned? Okay? So as as so my first sentence what I said was the times have changed You know since the time we found micro max till the time this is this is this here The phone is going to evolve every 10 days. You're gonna have updates on this every 15 days You're gonna have updates on this as I said it's unsanitary mod So you submit your work and we keep on updating the phone. So every month you're gonna have a new phone So to to say so the phone will always be in a beta. It will always keep on updating Thank you There's no device. We have not yet launched. Yeah As I said so micro max so right now I'm not wearing any micro max hat I'm I'm all about you as I said so I you know first found in micro as and then now is it's all about you although all There's an issue going on in terms of now focusing complete. I'm 100% focus on you So moving on this you'll have all the access Hi, I heard that my come as well one sianog and Monopoly in India when that was a debate with this one plus one and One plus one was forced to move on to another operating system and since this micro max is has one the sianog and mode Operating system will be entirely different or you will be something like view plus sianog and how it will be Okay, so first of all it is this is no nothing about winning or losing Okay, it's all about just using sianog and mod and why we are using sianog and mod because it's all community-based Yes, and it in future also it will be all community-based So of course it will be sianog and mod plus on top of it all the features what all of you guys in community Are going to build we're going to put on it. So you'll you're gonna get updates much faster much quicker and So so for example, it will be much more customized for people in India So that means only it's only for the view phones all Will it be available for all the micro max phone? No, no, it's what so initially we're gonna launch with you products And how about the sianog and mod in micro max mobiles? That is that is still because we're still working on it, but initially it will come on you for sure. Thank you I'm sorry. We're like more than like all right guys. Thank you so much
