Vi showcased its future plans and ideas on the first day of the Indian Mobile Congress (IMC) 2024, highlighting how the company is using advanced technologies to support various industries. To compliment IMC's theme this year, “The Future is Now”, Vi called its concept: "Future is LIVE," both focusing on addressing current challenges with innovative technologies to enhance productivity.
India's economic growth is significantly driven by small and medium enterprises (SMEs), but many of them lag in utilizing digital technology. To address this, Vi launched the ‘Ready to Next’ program in 2022, providing guidance and support to MSMEs. The company has partnered with 160,000 small and medium enterprises to offer free digital advisory services.
Vi: Future is live
Vi also addressed healthcare challenges by introducing the ‘Clinic in a Bag’ program, allowing doctors to assist and evaluate patients remotely in real time. This initiative eliminates barriers related to location, funding, and manpower in the health sector.
The video call and testing capabilities can cover over 30 medical tests, including vital signs, cardiac and pulmonary functions, blood tests, and screenings. These diagnoses are made possible by Vi’s high-speed internet and seamless connectivity. Not only are these tests fast, but they are also cost-effective, with fees starting at just Rs 250, making them accessible to everyone.
Akshaya Moondra, CEO of Vi, stated, “At Vi, we’re committed to harnessing the power of advanced connectivity to transform industries and improve lives. Our solutions showcased at the IMC are designed to make a real-world impact and reflect our commitment to bring the future to life right now by creating a more connected and efficient world for all."
