My TV appearances

All the videos are from the time when I was working with Panini Keypad.

Panini Keypad is a new technology that offers people to type in all languages of India on the mobile phone extremely fast, comfortably and easily without the need of printed characters on the keypad. And nor is the user expected to write in English characters (Roman). The Panini Keypad allows you to write natively in any Indian script without any familiarity with English characters and is therefore ideal for the vast majority of India.



India has 600 million mobile phone users, however, only 90 million know English. The balance 510 million cannot type on the phone because they do not know the English language. As a result, they cannot store their address book, cannot send a text message, and are off course oblivious to the Value Added Services - including the 3G content - offered by the operators. The whole opportunity of digital enablement that could be addressable today through the ubiquitous mobile phone meets the stumbling block of regional language support on phone for easy typing. There have been myriad approaches in the past to support Indian languages on digital devices but these have failed due to their shortcomings to the peculiar nature of the Indian languages. That is the inspiration behind the creation of Panini Keypad – a clever virtual multilingual keypad which is user friendly and lightning fast.



The Panini Keypad uses statistical predictive texting (CleverTexting) – a patent pending path breaking invention by Luna Ergonomics - which allows one to type in all languages of the world on the existing phone without the need of printed characters on the keypad. Also, it is touted as the world's first ergonomic keypad because characters are automatically and accurately predicted and placed at positions most comfortable to the texting finger and the user only types through single keypresses (no multitap).
