Mr. Eric Wei, Asia Pacific General Manager, ViewSonic
How has ViewSonic’s business performed over the past year, especially in India?
Over the past year, ViewSonic has continued to witness strong growth, particularly in the education and AV segments. While the IT segment has remained relatively stable without significant growth, education and AV have emerged as key drivers for us.
India is a rapidly growing market with increasing investments in education and audiovisual infrastructure. We see strong demand coming from schools, institutions, corporates, and government initiatives. These segments continue to offer immense opportunities, and that’s where we are focusing our growth strategy.
What major changes have you observed in India’s education sector in recent years?
The biggest transformation came after COVID-19. The pandemic accelerated digital adoption across the education ecosystem—not just in urban areas but also in rural regions. Today, schools are increasingly adopting smart classrooms, supported by government funding and initiatives. Teachers are more open to using digital tools, and students are more engaged with interactive and visual learning compared to traditional methods.
We are now in a digital-first learning environment where students are already exposed to technology at home. Naturally, they expect the same experience in classrooms. This shift has fundamentally changed how education is delivered and consumed in India.
What unique value does ViewSonic bring to the education segment?
At ViewSonic, we don’t just provide hardware—we deliver a complete education solution that seamlessly integrates technology with teaching needs. Our offering includes interactive display hardware, myViewBoard interactive whiteboarding software, cloud integration with single sign-on capabilities, and customized digital content aligned with the CBSE curriculum. The biggest advantage of our solution is its ease of use, as teachers do not require extensive training and can quickly adapt to the system, enabling them to start using it almost instantly. Furthermore, our pre-built digital content allows educators to customize lessons without having to create material from scratch. This not only saves valuable time but also enhances student engagement through interactive and visually rich learning experiences.
How is ViewSonic empowering teachers, especially in remote areas?
Teachers are the backbone of education, and empowering them is critical to driving meaningful transformation. At ViewSonic, we have undertaken several initiatives to support educators, including on-ground training workshops in major cities, online webinars and virtual training sessions, as well as video tutorials available on platforms like YouTube. Post-COVID, we have conducted more than 500 workshops across various cities and schools, in addition to numerous webinars. Even in rural and remote areas, teachers can easily access training through online platforms, request dedicated sessions, participate in webinars, and revisit recorded content at their convenience. Our goal is to ensure that technology adoption is seamless, inclusive, and accessible for every educator.
How do you see AI transforming the future of education?
AI is set to revolutionize education, and at ViewSonic, we are already integrating it into our ecosystem through our solution – ClassSwift. This platform enables real-time interaction between teachers and students, allowing learners to respond instantly using their own devices and making classrooms more dynamic and engaging. AI plays a crucial role by analyzing student performance, generating detailed reports and insights, identifying areas where students need improvement, and providing actionable recommendations to teachers. Additionally, AI can automatically generate content, enabling teachers to select a subject or grade and instantly access relevant material or questions aligned with the CBSE curriculum. This significantly reduces the need for extensive preparation and allows educators to focus more on teaching rather than content creation.
What is the current status of your AI solutions in India?
We have already initiated pilot runs of our AI solution, ClassSwift, in select schools across India. The response has been very encouraging. Globally, the solution has been launched in the markets like the USA, the UK and Taiwan. In India, we are planning a larger-scale rollout within 2026. This will further strengthen our position in the education technology space.
How do you see the AV market evolving in India?
The AV market in India is witnessing strong double-digit annual growth. Traditionally dominated by panel-based displays, the market is now shifting towards advanced technologies such as LED displays and laser projectors. Laser projectors, in particular, offer greater efficiency and versatility while eliminating the need for frequent lamp replacements. At the same time, demand for AV solutions is rapidly increasing across government projects, corporate environments, and retail as well as commercial spaces. At ViewSonic, we address this growing demand by providing complete AV solutions that include hardware, media players, and content management software, ensuring a comprehensive and integrated ecosystem for our customers.
What new AV innovations can we expect from ViewSonic this year?
Our focus will be on LED and laser-based technologies as we continue to expand our AV portfolio. We are introducing high-lumen laser projectors that are ideal for large venues such as museums and conference rooms, delivering superior brightness and performance. In addition, we are bringing advanced LED display solutions that can effectively replace traditional video walls. Unlike the conventional video walls that often have visible panel lines, LED displays provide a seamless visual experience, making content more immersive, impactful, and visually appealing.
What is your outlook on the gaming market in India?
The gaming market in India has evolved significantly. Earlier, gaming was considered a premium category. Today, it has become more affordable and accessible to a wider audience, especially young consumers. At ViewSonic, we are focusing on the mainstream gaming segment rather than niche high-end products. We aim to deliver high-performance yet cost-effective gaming monitors. We were among the first to introduce a 240Hz 2K gaming monitor in India, and we plan to launch 4 to 6 new gaming models this year.
What innovations are you bringing in the professional monitor segment?
In the professional segment, we are focusing on high-resolution and color-accurate displays to meet the evolving needs of creators and professionals. One of our key offerings is a 27-inch 5K monitor specifically designed for this audience, delivering exceptional clarity and precision. It supports Adobe RGB color accuracy and offers seamless compatibility with Mac ecosystems, making it an ideal choice for designers, content creators, and professionals who demand high performance and accurate color reproduction in their work.
How important is India for ViewSonic, and what are your growth plans?
India is one of the most important and high-potential markets for ViewSonic, offering significant opportunities for growth. Our key focus areas include education as a core segment, along with AI-powered solutions, expansion in the ProAV space, and strengthening our presence in gaming and professional displays. Driven by continuous innovation and strong market demand, we are targeting a growth of 15% to 20% in the coming year.
Any message for your partners in India?
I would like to sincerely thank all our partners for their continuous support and efforts. India is a growing market with immense opportunities, and together, we can achieve great success. At ViewSonic, we remain committed to providing innovative display solutions and empowering our partners to grow alongside us.
