One of the major and oldest players of the global smartphone industry, LG, is finally shutting down its mobile business division. The announcement has come after its board of directors approved the “strategic decision.”

Though this news doesn’t come as a surprise as multiple reports in the past have claimed that the South Korean company will be quitting the phone business.

In its official statement, LG said that stepping away from the mobile phone business will allow it to focus on other areas like electric vehicle components, connected devices, smart homes, robotics, artificial intelligence, and business-to-business solutions, as well as platforms and services.

While it will not be manufacturing new phones, it will continue to provide support and software updates to existing customers for a certain “period of time” which will vary by region. To recollect, LG German confirmed last month that it will be releasing Android 11 OS update for phones like LG Velvet 4G, LG Velvet 5G, LG G8X, LG G8S, LG Wing, LG K52, and LG K42.

Existing phones will also continue to sell, but the company expects to completely wind down the mobile business by July 31. Until then, it will be working with suppliers and business partners for the closure of the mobile phone division. The South Korean company will be using its mobile expertise and mobile related technologies like 6G in other businesses, existing and future products.

The LG G5, which arrived as its first-ever modular smartphone back in 2016, and last year’s LG Wing with the rotatable display are some of the ambitious phones for which the brand will be remembered. The company was expected to launch the LG Rollable as the world’s first phone with a rollable screen, but it appears that it is unlikely to see a release.

BYJU’S, India’s largest ed-tech company and creator of India’s most loved K-12 app, announced the introduction of Social Studies as a part of its learning program. In addition to Math and Science, the app will now offer in-depth, visually rich and engaging programs in History, Civics, and Geography for school children.

Considered as a ‘vast’ subject with diverse topics and components, students often find it difficult to understand and comprehend concepts across History, Civics and Geography. This new Social Studies program from BYJU’S breaks down the theories through role play, visualisation, and gamified content thereby offering students an immersive learning experience. Teachers in the video interact with 3D images and animation to create an enriching learning experience for students. For example, formation of the Himalayas has been explained in detail by showcasing the movement and collision between the Indo Australian and Eurasian plates due to external forces with the help of full screen animation and 3D images.

Vinay M.R., Chief Content Officer, BYJU’S, said, “We are excited to announce the launch of our new subject offering – Social Studies. Students often consider this subject as ‘heavy’ or ‘tough’ since it’s mostly learnt theoretically. Our teachers and team of subject matter experts, backed by strong R&D and technology has designed this program that simplifies History, Civics, and Geography concepts through visuals, real-life examples and storytelling in an engaging way.”

Students can access this new subject for free by downloading the BYJU’S Learning App from Playstore or Appstore.

The pandemic brought online learning to the forefront. An inflection point for the ed-tech industry, in the last 10-11 months 45 million new students have started learning from BYJU’S for free.

With 80 million students on the app and 5.5 million paid subscriptions, BYJU’S is continuously working toward creating engaging and effective learning programs for students.

Rakesh Verma, India’s original digital map data product maker and the founder of MapmyIndia, a Make in India, deep-tech company which specializes in maps, navigation, tracking, analytics, GIS, GPS, IoT and location technologies, has pledged Rs 1 crore towards strengthening the incubation and innovation ecosystem at BITS Pilani.

Well-known for its students and alumni startups, 17 of BITS alumni-led startups have raised $700 million in past few months. MapmyIndia will further support promising student entrepreneurs by mentoring and advisory, workspace, seed/angel funding and incubation to help accelerate their ideas.

“I am indebted to BITS Pilani, a generous giver, my almamater has played a key role in shaping me personally and professionally. And it gives me great pleasure to be part of this unique initiative – BITS Pilani Incubation and Innovation Centre (BPIInC). In this pandemic hit scenario, we will churn out job creators rather than seekers – a class of professionally Aatmanirbhar students via mentorship, guidance, funding and incubation. BPIInC will be a legacy builder, one that will have a lasting impact on the future genrations of the bright and talented alumni that will walk through the hallowed precincts of this great institution,” said Rakesh Verma, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director, MapmyIndia, a BITS alumnus, class of 1972.

Prof Souvik Bhattacharyya, Vice-Chancellor, BITS Pilani, said, “What MapmyIndia did in 1990s, despite a lack of support system really inspires us at BITS – it’s our commitment and ambition to support innovators on the campus with the resources they would need to be successful. With Rakesh’s pledge, we are moving a step closer to our intended goals.”

This initiative comes close on the heels of the recent path-breaking partnership between MapmyIndia and ISRO to create India’s indigenously-developed most advanced geospatial services, as a shining example of public-private partnership to enable Aatmanirbhar Bharat, and the Government of India’s historic announcement of the opening up of geospatial industry to bring the benefits of geospatial to the entire economy and society. MapmyIndia is quickly making moves to leverage them advantageously by speeding up innovation and increasing the output of the Indian geospatial sector.

Prof Arya Kumar, Dean, Alumni Relations, said, “BITSian entrepreneurs and the alumni network has been widely acknowledged as one of the most helpful innovation networks, with support available to anyone with a viable idea. Rakesh Verma has been a long-standing contributor to this network, and his collaboration with the incubation efforts at BITS will help scale outcomes to newer heights.”

The funds from MapmyIndia will be used for augmenting the upcoming Incubation and Innovation Centre at the Pilani Campus being built at the cost of Rs 15 crore – a 20,000 sq. ft. space for innovation labs and co-working spaces for enabling students and faculty with their ideas to change the world.
