MUMBAI: Strontium Technology hosted its Channel Partner Conference on 25th October 2013 at The Oberoi Hotel, New Delhi. Strontium is a Singapore based Flash Storage and PC memory manufacturer. The conference was focused on changes in memory industry and how Strontium is turning market challenges into new opportunities.
“Following the merger of Elpida Memory into Micron Technology and the exit of Tier 2 Taiwan manufacturers, the memory chip industry is moving to Oligopoly which means lower volatility in future,” Vivian Singh, President and CEO, Strontium Technology, said at the event.
Strontium showcased its products and technologies during the conference besides presenting its roadmap for the year 2014.”The latest smart phones and tablets need high performing memory cards for capturing, storing and accessing HD videos, pictures, media files, apps and data. Strontium NITRO cards, with 60 to 85Mbps transfer speeds, are ideal solution,” Vivian added. “Strontium will continue to focus on selling retail products in emerging markets especially India through traditional channel, organized retailers and online stores.”

News18 India launches Command Centre war explainer with Arya
New show shifts from debates to decoding global conflicts and impacts
MUMBAI: News18 India has rolled out a new war-focused programme, Command Centre, featuring Gaurav Arya, as it looks to offer viewers a sharper, more grounded take on global conflicts amid rising tensions in West Asia.
Positioned as an “insider war room”, the show moves away from conventional panel debates and instead focuses on explaining military developments, decoding strategy and connecting global events to their everyday impact, from fuel prices to economic shifts.
The format leans heavily on visuals and data. The studio has been designed like a command hub, complete with large LED war maps, real-time graphics and an alert system to track developments as they unfold.
At the centre of it all is Arya, who brings his military background to simplify complex war strategies for viewers. His signature line, “Seedhi baat samjhiye”, anchors the show’s promise of clarity over noise.
News18 India managing editor Jyoti Kamal said, “Command Centre, featuring Major Gaurav Arya is designed to deliver accurate insights and a clear perspective on how evolving conflicts impact everyday life, from household budgets to national security. With expert voices analysing every development in real time, the show goes beyond headlines to decode what’s happening now, what it means, and what could come next.”
Echoing the intent, Gaurav Arya added, “In times of war, confusion is the biggest threat. With News18 India’s Command Centre, we are bringing viewers inside the war room, decoding strategies, tracking every escalation, and explaining, in the simplest terms, what it means for India and for every household. Seedhi baat samjhiye, this is where you understand not just what is happening, but what happens next.”
The weekday show will air in the afternoon slot and will also feature Gaurav Shukla, adding to its editorial depth.
With its mix of analysis, visuals and a clear focus on impact, the show reflects a broader shift in news consumption. Viewers are no longer just watching events unfold, they are looking to understand what those events mean for them.
