Dish TV switches on VZY Smart TVs to stream into the future of home viewing
MUMBAI: Dish TV has flipped the channel on its future and this time, it’s not just about broadcasting. The country’s leading DTH provider, trusted in Indian homes for over 22 years, has launched VZY Smart TVs, marking its grand entry into the integrated Smart TV segment.
Standing for Vibe, Zone & You, VZY is pitched not as “just another TV” but as a full-blown entertainment universe. It blends Dish TV’s legacy in live television with cutting-edge streaming, creating what the company calls an all-in-one screen where DTH meets OTT.
“For over two decades, Dish TV has been a trusted name in millions of Indian homes, built on innovation and customer focus. With VZY, we are building an entertainment universe that converges live TV, OTT, smart features, and immersive design,” said Dish TV India CEO & executive director Manoj Dobhal.
What’s inside the box? Plenty of tech wizardry. VZY Smart TVs will be available in sizes from 32” HD to 55” 4K UHD QLED, with premium features such as Dolby Vision, HDR10, up to 350 nits brightness, and a bezel-less design. For audio, all models feature Dolby Audio, with select premium models stepping up to Dolby Atmos.
Running on Google TV 5 (Android 14), the TVs come loaded with streaming staples like Netflix, Prime Video, and Youtube. Add to that voice-enabled remotes, Chromecast, Airplay, and in select models, an inbuilt DTH set-top box, offering instant access to both live TV and streaming apps.
“The modern Indian family is digital-first and experience-driven. VZY goes beyond being just a television to deliver an immersive, curated experience,” added Dish TV India chief revenue officer Sukhpreet Singh.
For performance, the range supports up to 2GB RAM and 32GB storage, ensuring smooth navigation and app usage. To make the smart shift easier on the wallet, Dish TV is offering Rs 0 down payment and 0 per cent EMI financing options.
The VZY Smart TV range will hit retail shelves nationwide and will also be available through online platforms, reaching metros as well as Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.
With this move, Dish TV isn’t just selling a new screen, it’s making a play to own the living room once again, this time with a smarter, sleeker, and more immersive avatar.
MUMBAI: Addverb has taken a decisive turn on the road to humanoid automation, unveiling its first wheeled humanoid robot, Elixis-W, at LogiMAT India 2026 in Mumbai. Built and manufactured in India, the robot signals the company’s push to make so-called physical AI a practical presence on the factory floor rather than a futuristic concept.
Unlike traditional fixed automation, Elixis-W is designed to move, think and work alongside people in dynamic industrial settings. The robot combines adaptive wheeled mobility with dual arms, each fitted with five-fingered dexterous hands, allowing it to handle tasks that demand precision as well as flexibility.
At its core sits a Physical AI-ready architecture, supported by dual Nvidia Jetson Orin and Thor computing units. This setup is intended to give the robot the ability to perceive, plan and adapt to changing environments, rather than simply follow pre-programmed routines.
According to Addverb CEO and co-founder Sangeet Kumar, the humanoid reflects the company’s long-standing belief in human-robot collaboration. He said the robot is designed to take on repetitive, risky or physically demanding tasks, freeing human workers to focus on higher-value decision-making roles.
Alongside the humanoid, Addverb also showcased two new intralogistics solutions. The Cruiser 360, a four-way pallet shuttle, is aimed at high-density storage environments where space and speed matter. The FlowT, an autonomous forklift, is designed to move materials safely in busy warehouses and factory spaces.
Visitors also saw Trakr, the company’s quadruped robot, navigating the exhibition floor, offering a glimpse of how legged machines could assist in future warehouse and industrial operations.
Addverb, which began as a warehouse automation specialist, has steadily expanded its global footprint across the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia. Its client list includes Reliance, HUL, PepsiCo, Maersk, Mondial Relay and DHL.
With the launch of Elixis-W, the company is steering towards a future where robots are not just bolted to the floor, but rolling, reasoning and working shoulder to shoulder with people on the shopfloor.
