To reach the above mentioned vision, we are focusing on two aspects. These are the two adjectives, superior and convenient, in the above mentioned Mission. We are creating a solution that is predictive and suggestive and hence enables user to discover new areas and activities that interest him/her. It is proactive and thus ensures that the user can be kept away from the dangers that is usually associated with many of the existing computing solutions.
It is flexible to ensure that each user gets and tunes the solution to fit in with his/her needs. It is a secure solution with consideration given to the fact that different users have different level of security. Thus it is superior from many aspects. The convenience comes from the fact that most of the above mentioned aspects and many of the other basic aspects happen automatically and does not require human intervention, neither the end user nor the administrators.
The basic intent of our vision is to come up with a computing solution that can be used by the next billion. So what do we want to provide to the next billion users? A computing system that does not bring in the complexity of purchase and management. Thus make computing simple and affordable and in the process accessible to all people around the world.
The initial focus of the company is to make computing available in the developing worlds where such technology is usually inaccessible to people. In the process, we want to create a simple computing solution that can be used by not just the above mentioned users but by any user in any market.
