History[edit]
Dixon Technologies was founded in 1993 by Sunil Vachani. His father Sundar Vachani had been manufacturing televisions under the Weston brand which had launched the first colour television in India; his business struggled later on due to the emergence of other companies.[10] Dixon initially manufactured 14-inch televisions, Sega video game consoles, Philips video recorders and push-button phones for Bharti Airtel. A major breakthrough came in the 2000s when the company won a Government contract to manufacture televisions.[11] Apart from televisions and video recorders, the company also started to manufacture air conditioners and microwave ovens for LG Electronics, as well as DVD players for other brands.[10]
In 2018, Dixon signed a deal with Xiaomi to manufacture LED television sets at its Tirupati plant.[12]
In January 2020, Dixon entered a partnership with Samsung for local production of LED televisions.[13] In December 2020, it was reported that Dixon's subsidiary Padget Electronics would manufacture smartphones for Motorola.[14] In January 2021, Dixon announced that it would manufacture wireless speakers for the Indian company boAt Lifestyle.[15] Later that month, Padget Electronics signed a contract with HMD Global to manufacture Nokia smartphones at its Noida plant.[16]
