Amid the ongoing cricket season, Oakley and Meta today announced a collaboration with cricket icon Virat Kohli as the face of Oakley Meta Performance AI glasses in India. The partnership highlights how AI-powered wearables bring Athletic Intelligence to the game, supporting how athletes train, create and share moments.

As part of the collaboration, audiences will get a first-person view into Virat Kohli’s world — from training sessions and match preparation to behind-the-scenes moments with Oakley Meta Performances AI glasses which have hands-free AI to help you capture the perfect cricket shot, access personalized insights as you train and record content seamlessly in the flow of action. Combined with hands-free capture and instant sharing, the glasses unlock a more intuitive and responsive way to document high-performance moments, both on and off the field. The collaboration showcases our vision of Athletic Intelligence and how technology can seamlessly integrate into an athlete’s routine to help them take their training and performance to the next level.

Sandhya Devanathan, Vice President India and South East Asia, Meta said, “Performance has always been a balance of instinct and awareness, and increasingly that is being shaped by data. With Oakley Meta performance AI glasses, we are exploring what Athletic Intelligence can look like in practice, where timely insights and lightweight assistance come together in a way that supports how athletes train and stay focused. Our collaboration with Virat Kohli reflects how technology can fit naturally into an athlete’s routine, helping them stay present while continuing to learn from every session and every personal record they work towards.”

At Oakley, we’ve always been focused on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and with Meta, we’re bringing a new dimension to that vision. Virat Kohli embodies the mindset we build for: focused, driven and always pushing limits. And that’s exactly where this product belongs” says Corey Hill, Head of Global Sports Marketing at Oakley.

Adding his perspective, Virat Kohli said, “I have always relied on instinct, but also on understanding my game better over time. What I find useful about Oakley Meta performance AI glasses is that they add small layers of insight without getting in the way. Whether it is staying focused during training or enhancing on-field awareness, it helps build consistency over time. Over time, that can make a difference when you are working towards your next personal record.”

Fossil Launches Star Wars-Inspired Limited-Edition Mandalorian Watch Collection Ahead Of 2026 Release

Fossil proudly introduces its latest collaboration with Star Wars™: a limited-edition watch collection inspired by the Disney+ series The Mandalorian™. Timed to build excitement ahead of the highly anticipated 2026 theatrical release of The Mandalorian and Grogu™, this launch celebrates two of the saga's most iconic characters through intricate watch designs and character-driven details, now available for collectors and fans in India.

“India has a deeply engaged and growing community of Star Wars fans who truly appreciate storytelling and collectability,” says Johnson Verghese, Managing Director, Fossil Group India. “With The Mandalorian Collection, we wanted to bring that universe closer to our consumers through designs that feel authentic, detailed, and emotionally resonant. Each timepiece goes beyond function to become a collectible, created for fans who want to carry a piece of the saga with them every day.”

The Everett Mandalorian Watch (₹24,495) channels the strength and precision of the legendary bounty hunter, honoring the outlier who embodies unwavering loyalty. Crafted with a gunmetal stainless steel case and bracelet, the 42MM timepiece emulates Din Djarin’s battle-ready armor, emblazoned with the Clan Mudhorn emblem. Inspired by the Mandalorians’ sacred beskar metal, a multi-layered chest plate anchors the dial, accented by luminous indexes and a Razor Crest cannon-inspired handset. The dial’s construction and sub-second three-hand movement reflect the tactical functionality synonymous with the character, while the caseback reveals original Star Wars artwork depicting the Clan of Two. Housed in collectible packaging with a Mandalorian lapel pin and certificate of authenticity, the custom display box plays the Mandalorian’s signature phrase, “This is the way,” creating a truly immersive collector experience.

The Neutra Grogu Watch (₹24,495) is an ode to the mischief-loving Foundling, capturing the charm and mystique of the young apprentice Grogu. The 38MM silver stainless steel case is paired with a robe-inspired suede strap, while the distinctive green dial recreates a fan-favorite scene, showcasing Grogu levitating a leaping snack. Disc hands and glowing lume elements enhance the galactic storytelling, while pram-textured case detailing nods to his floating pod. The custom caseback features original Star Wars artwork of a smiling Grogu in his element. The collectible packaging includes original artwork, a Mandalorian lapel pin, and an official certificate of authenticity. Open the custom display box to hear the Mandalorian command Grogu to “Spit that out,” followed by Grogu’s giggle, a classic exchange between the two.

These limited-edition timepieces move beyond novelty into true collector pieces. Each watch is individually numbered and presented in a custom collector’s box featuring immersive sound elements, exclusive gift-with-purchase pins, and certificates of authenticity. Created to mark the franchise’s next cinematic chapter while drawing inspiration from the acclaimed series, this release transforms an iconic story into the ultimate must-have for devoted fans and collectors alike.

Lumio Unveils Vision 9 (2026) Smart TVs: Bringing Faster Performance, Flagship Display & Audio To Indian Homes

Lumio, the new-age consumer tech brand redefining home entertainment, today announced the launch of the all-new Lumio Vision 9 (2026), its most powerful and complete Smart TV to date. Built to solve the persistent problem of slow, lag-heavy television experiences, the Vision 9 (2026), available in 65-inch and 55-inch variants. It brings together Lumio’s Boss performance and DOPE 2 picture tuning to deliver a fast, fluid, and immersive TV experience that simply doesn’t slow down.

As the Smart TV market transitions from brand-centric decisions to experience-oriented selections, factors such as performance, speed, and reliability are becoming pivotal. Lumio has been leading this shift with a performance-first approach grounded in real-world usability. With Vision 9 (2026), the brand builds on this philosophy by delivering exceptional performance, a flagship display built on best-in-class panel technology, an integrated TLDR experience that redefines how users discover and engage with content, and a hexa-driver audio system, together transforming how content is experienced at home.

Commenting on the launch, Raghu Reddy, CEO, Circuit House Technologies, said, “Over the past year, we have grown significantly, earning the trust of our customers and emerging as one of India’s fastest-growing TV brands. This has been driven by our focus on solving real user pain points. With Lumio Vision 9 and Vision 7, we set out to challenge the category by prioritising performance and real-world usability, and now with Vision 9 (2026), we are accelerating that shift by delivering a TV that is consistently fast, deeply immersive, and built for everyday use. As the category evolves, we remain focused on redefining what consumers should expect from a premium TV experience.”

Lumio Vision 9 (2026): Fast. Fluid. Flagship.

The Lumio Vision 9 (2026) is built around four core pillars - Performance, Display, Sound, and Software, each engineered to deliver a flagship-level experience without compromise.

● Boss Performance: Still India’s Fastest TV, built to deliver a fast, fluid, and lag-free experience from streaming to gaming

● Flagship Display: QD MiniLED with EVA panel, Dolby Vision, up to 800 nits peak brightness, supreme blacks, and best-in-class colour coverage in Rec 2020 and native 4K 144Hz and 1080p 240Hz refresh rates.

● Sound Redefined: 50W DGS 2.2 system with Dual subwoofers and Dolby Atmos for best-in-class bass and clear vocals.

● Smart Experience: All new TLDR with 36 new features to help discover content easily. Now for Movies and TV Shows. Project Neo, Lumio’s ambitious initiative from Lumio Labs.

Boss performance meets fluid gaming

At the core of the Vision 9 (2026) is Lumio’s Boss Performance architecture, which is a comprehensive system-level design that integrates processing, memory, storage, and connectivity and OS optimisation to ensure consistently rapid, smooth, and dependable performance. Powered by MediaTek’s Flagship Pentonic 700 chipset, along with 2X faster storage coupled with 3GB of DDR4 RAM, a high-end Wi-Fi 5 chip, the Vision 9 (2026) achieves up to 2X performance over other TVs. Now users can effortlessly transition between multiple applications without experiencing lag or wait times.

For gaming with high fps gameplay, the experience remains equally fluid. With support for native 4K at 144Hz and up to 240Hz at 1080p, along with VRR (48-240Hz) and ALLM(Input lag 9.7ms), the new Vision 9 guarantees responsive gameplay and ultra-smooth visuals. In addition, full bandwidth support of HDMI 2.1 along with FRL signaling technology supporting up to 48Gbps, further facilitates high refresh rate gaming, making it perfect for next-generation gaming.

Flagship Display and Picture Engine

It is equipped with a premier QD-MiniLED display featuring precision local dimming, which enhances brightness, contrast, and clarity, achieving up to 800 nits peak brightness for impactful HDR viewing.

At its foundation is Lumio’s EVA (Enhanced VA) Panel, designed for deeper blacks, superior contrast, and consistent viewing angles, achieving a native contrast ratio of up to 7000:1(Dynamic contrast 100,000:1), ensuring bright scenes remain vibrant while darker scenes maintain depth without light bleed. A wide color gamut of over 100% NTSC and upto 82% Rec.2020, coupled with Delta E < 1.9 accuracy, provides natural skin tones and lifelike visuals without banding. This experience is powered by Lumio’s DOPE 2 engine, meticulously fine-tuned by real humans for balanced HDR10 and HLG tonemapping. With support for Dolby Vision, customizable picture modes, and enhanced shadow detail, the Vision 9 offers an immersive and authentic viewing experience.

Sound Redefined

The Vision 9 (2026) offers a flagship audio experience through its DGS (Damn Good Sound) 2.2 system, which is centered around a unique Hexa Driver configuration. Featuring dual built-in subwoofers, dual full range and dual tweeters, and a 50W output, the television generates profound, immersive sound, with bass frequencies extending down to 38Hz at 70dB, which is 2X more bass than the previous generation. The addition of Dolby Atmos elevates the auditory experience by creating a three-dimensional sound environment that envelops the entire room.

In addition, Lumio’s DGS 2.2 audio tuning is meticulously adjusted to guarantee that dialogue remains clear and comprehensible, even during high-intensity scenes, ensuring that voices are never overshadowed by music or sound effects.

Smarter and Intelligent Experience

Running on the latest Android 14, the Vision 9 (2026) presents an improved content experience driven by TLDR 2.0, Lumio’s exclusive discovery platform. With 34 new features and AI-driven improvements added to the platform, it streamlines the process for users to discover what to watch:

● Trending Top 10: Daily updated rankings across all platforms.

● Curated Collections + Lumio Rating: Trusted picks from content creators and a unified score to cut through the noise.

● Smart Search: Filter by language, genre, or platform for precise results.

Project Neo: WhatsApp is Now Your Remote

Lumio also showcased Project Neo, an ambitious software initiative under Lumio Labs, that solves the biggest friction point in the living room: content discovery. Recognizing that users discover content on their phones but consume it on their TVs, Project Neo turns messaging apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram into the primary control layer for Lumio TVs. Instead of typing into clunky on-screen keyboards, users can simply forward an Instagram Reel or send a conversational text (e.g., “movies where the villain wins”) to the TLDR bot. The AI automatically extracts the intent, finds where the title is streaming, and instantly builds a unified watchlist directly on the TV.

"Your smartphone is your primary interface for the world.” says Kailash Sankaranarayanan, Co-Founder & COO, Circuit House Technologies. “With Project Neo, we aren't forcing users to download another proprietary remote app. We are meeting them where they already spend hours a day, inside WhatsApp and Instagram. The AI sits in the background, translating messy human intent into TV actions so you don't have to type movie names on a clunky on-screen keyboard. This is what we mean by 'Tech that Sparks Joy': killing the friction so you can get straight to the content."

Project Neo will be rolled out to all Lumio Devices, later this year.

Lumio Vision 7 (2026)
Lumio also announced a refresh for its best-selling Lumio Vision 7, now with 4X more storage with 64GB, which is also 2X faster than its previous generation. Lumio has also added a new satellite port that gives users access to FREE TV Channels with up to 540 channels via FREE Dish.

Warranty:

All of the new Lumio Vision TVs will come with a 2-year comprehensive warranty. Lumio already has a network of 300+ service centers across the country and is capable of servicing up to 19000+ pincodes. So you have peace of mind in case you need assistance from the brand.

Availability and Pricing

The Lumio Vision 9 (2026) 65-inch variant will be available for purchase on Amazon India and Flipkart starting April 24, 2026, for INR 72,999 with NEP of 64999, which includes bank offers and coupons.

Flight AI2390 departed from Delhi at 0120 Hrs (IST), landing at Noi Bai International Airport at 0720 Hrs (local time), where it was welcomed by dignitaries from the Indian Embassy in Vietnam, airport officials, and Air India staff.

The new five times weekly service complements Air India’s daily flights to Ho Chi Minh City, offering travellers greater flexibility to explore Vietnam with open-jaw itineraries. With the launch of this service, travellers can conveniently arrive in Hanoi and return from Ho Chi Minh City, or vice versa, making multi-city leisure and business travel easier.

Air India’s Delhi-Hanoi service is operated by Air India’s A320neo aircraft, featuring a three-class cabin configuration including Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy, delivering a premium, full-service flying experience to and from India and beyond.

The new service also seamlessly connects points in the United Kingdom and Europe to Vietnam, enabling travellers between these regions to travel conveniently via Air India’s hub at Delhi.

Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India, said: “Vietnam has rapidly evolved into a high-potential market for Indian travellers, supported by strong leisure demand, growing business exchanges and rising interest in multi-city holidays. With Hanoi joining our network alongside Ho Chi Minh City, we are creating more choice, greater convenience and stronger connectivity between the two countries as well as enabling traffic between Europe and Vietnam.”
