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.[9] 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.[10] 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.[9]

In 2018, Dixon signed a deal with Xiaomi to manufacture LED television sets at its Tirupati plant.[11]

In January 2020, Dixon entered a partnership with Samsung for local production of LED televisions.[12] In December 2020, it was reported that Dixon's subsidiary Padget Electronics would manufacture smartphones for Motorola.[13] In January 2021, Dixon announced that it would manufacture wireless speakers for the Indian company BoAt Lifestyle.[14] Later that month, Padget Electronics signed a contract with HMD Global to manufacture Nokia smartphones at its Noida plant.[15]

Operations[edit]

Dixon has 17 manufacturing units in India with over 15,000 employees.[6] It has India's largest manufacturing plants for LED televisions (in Tirupati), washing machines (in Dehradun) and LED bulbs (in Noida).[16][17] The company manufactures/assembles goods such as home appliances, smartphone, laptops, televisions, set top box, medical electronics, lights, security surveillance system.[6]
