Reference excerpt

Onida Electronics (formerly Mirc Electronics) is an Indian multinational electronics and home appliances manufacturing company, based in Mumbai. Onida became well known in India for its colour CRT televisions and smart TVs.

History Onida was started by G.L. Mirchandani and Vijay Mansukhani in 1981 in Mumbai. G.L. Mirchandani is the chairman and managing director of M/s Mirc Electronics Ltd. In 1982, Onida started assembling television sets at their factory in Andheri, Mumbai. It was established as "Mirc Electronics" on 11 January 1981. Since then, Onida has evolved into a multi-product company in the consumer durables and appliances sector. Onida came out with the famous caption Neighbour's Envy, Owner's Pride. The popular theme of the ads was a devil complete with horns and tail in the 1980s and 1990s. It first appeared in a print ad in 1982 and then as a TV commercial in 1983-84. Onida finally dropped the devil as its mascot in 2009. Onida has a network of 33 branch offices, 208 Customer Relation Centers and 41 depots spread across India. As on 31 March 2005, Onida had a market capitalization of ₹ 301.46 crore. Mirc Electronics won an "Award for Excellence in Electronics" in 1999, from the Ministry of Information Technology, Government of India. The shipments to Arab states of the Persian Gulf contribute almost 65% of Onida's export revenue, while shipments to the fast-growing East African market (Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia) and the SAARC countries accounted for 16% of export revenues. In addition to countries in the Persian Gulf, Onida has a presence in Russia, Ukraine and neighboring CIS countries. Apart from television exports to Russia, Onida also exports DVD players and high-end LCD televisions.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Onida Electronics

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Onida Electronics claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Onida Electronics before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Onida Electronics ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Onida Electronics

In research: Onida Electronics appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Onida Electronics in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Onida Electronics is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1981 establishments in Maharashtra, Companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, Companies listed on the National Stock Exchange of India, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Onida Electronics outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
