Sony to showcase new technologies at TecXpo 2011
MUMBAI: Consumer electronics firm Sony is gearing up to launch TecXpo 2011, the company‘s annual exhibition and conference for the broadcast and production industries, across five cities in India.
The expo will begin on 4 November in Trivandrum. Other cities to follow are Chennai (8 November), Hyderabad (11 November), Delhi (18 November) and Kolkata (23 November).
Sony will showcase its XDCAM solutions, the next generation of file-based workflow for the broadcast and film industry during the expo.
Sony said that the full range of XDCAM products and solutions are now available in India.
Last month, the company extended its OLED range, with the launch of the BVM-F series which will be available in India from November this year.
Sony India GM of Professional Solutions Murakami Koichi said, “Sony recognised the need to diversify its offering in addition to LCD, to provide a range of OLED monitors suitable for the varied demands of India‘s content creation market. The introduction of the new series will open up the possibility of OLED technology to a wider range of applications especially dedicated master monitoring and post-production in the broadcast industry.”
Additionally, Sony will also unveil new 4K products like CineAlta. At the heart of the F65 camera is Sony‘s newly developed 8K sensor, which delivers HD, 2K, and true 4K resolution today – and will go far beyond 4K in the future, as the industry needs evolve, the company said.
“This will help the industry move rapidly to embrace the improvement in quality that digital cinema can offer,” adds Koichi.

With 57 per cent single new users, Ashley Madison rebrands as discreet dating platform
Platform says majority of new members now identify as single
INDIA: Ashley Madison is shedding the “married-dating” label that defined it for two decades, repositioning itself as a platform for discreet dating in what it calls the post-social media age.
The rebrand, unveiled in India on 27 February, 2026, marks a structural shift in business model and identity. Once synonymous with married dating, the company now describes itself as the “premier destination for discreet dating” under a new tagline: Where Desire Meets Discretion.
The pivot is data-driven. Internal figures show that 57 per cent of global sign-ups between 1 January and 31 December, 2025 identified as single: a notable departure from the platform’s married core. The company argues that its community has already evolved beyond its original positioning.
“In an age where our lives have been constantly put on public display, privacy has become the new luxury,” said Ashley Madison chief strategy officer Paul Keable. He framed the platform’s offering as “ethical discretion” for singles, separated, divorced and non-monogamous users seeking private connections.
The shift also taps into wider digital fatigue. A global survey conducted by YouGov for Ashley Madison, covering 13,071 adults across Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the US, found mounting discomfort with hyper-public online lives.
Among dating app users, 30 per cent cited constant swiping and messaging as a source of fatigue, while 24 per cent pointed to pressure to curate public-facing profiles and early personal disclosure. Some 27 per cent said fears of screenshots or information being shared contributed to exhaustion; an equal share cited unwanted attention.
The retreat from oversharing appears broader. According to the survey, 46 per cent of adults actively try to keep most aspects of their life private online. Only 8 per cent feel comfortable sharing most aspects publicly, while 35 per cent say they are becoming more selective about what they disclose.
Ashley Madison is betting that this cultural recalibration towards controlled visibility can be monetised. By doubling down on privacy infrastructure and reframing itself around discretion rather than infidelity, the company is attempting to convert reputational baggage into a premium proposition.
