Philo Taylor Farnsworth, an American inventor is dubbed as a television pioneer for the valuable contributions he made in the field. He gave the world's first public demonstration of an all-electronic television system in the 1920s. Later the device production saw many developments and reached the shape we are using it currently.

The mechanism of TV works in a way that it transmits moving images and sound. We are living in an era that we cannot imagine our lives without it and this is the impact it has on our lives.

The 90s in India saw a different picture as far as TVs were concerned. Only a few people used to have TVs and special programs used to be aired. To watch the special shows people used to gather in households where there was a TV and enjoy the show together.

However, it did not take much time for the growth of TV usage. Cut to a few decades India had become one of the biggest markets for TV sales and we could get international brands in India. This is the growth India saw in this aspect.
