(OEL) to manufacture its next-generation AIoT products in India, in a significant step towards strengthening India’s manufacturing ecosystem and supporting the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.

As part of its long-term vision to strengthen domestic manufacturing, realme aims to produce all of its AIoT product portfolio in India, including earphones, smartwatches, and tablets. Beginning this year, key products such as the realme Buds T200 series, realme Buds Wireless series, and realme Buds Air series will start rolling off local production lines.

In parallel, realme is also accelerating efforts to source a majority of critical components, such as PCBAs, batteries, mechanics, cables, and chargers, from within India. Beyond addressing the growing needs of Indian consumers, realme is also evaluating opportunities to export Made-in-India AIoT products to global markets, establishing India not just as a manufacturing base but as a global hub for innovation and production.

Together, realme and OEL target to manufacture 5 million AIoT devices annually while generating over 2,000 new employment opportunities in India. This partnership will also contribute to the creation of a stronger local supply chain and skilled workforce to support high-volume and high-quality production.

The collaboration has already taken off with the commencement of production for the realme Buds T200 Lite—an advanced earbud that delivers crystal-clear calling via Dual Mic AI Deep Call Noise Cancellation, powered by DNN voice recognition technology.

realme’s spokesperson on the partnership said, “India is a dynamic and fast-growing market for next-generation AI-enabled hearables, wearables, and power management devices. We are excited to partner with Optiemus Electronics Ltd. (OEL) to bring the manufacturing of all our high-performance and value for money AIoT devices to India.

New Delhi, Apr 16, 2025: Imagine seeing the world through two windows—one clear and one foggy. Now, suppose your brain starts ignoring the foggy one altogether. This is what happens in amblyopia, or lazy eye. The eye isn’t lazy—it’s just being overlooked by the brain.

Lazy eye is a childhood condition where one eye doesn’t develop normal vision. It usually begins when the brain starts favoring one eye over the other, often due to differences in focus or eye alignment. Over time, the weaker eye becomes less active, and if left untreated, this can lead to lasting vision problems.

Amblyopia affects around 5% of children under 15, making it the leading cause of vision loss in kids. The condition can be caused by unequal focusing abilities between the eyes, crossed or drifting eyes, or anything that blocks clear vision—like droopy eyelids or cataracts. Children born prematurely or with a family history of eye issues are more likely to develop it.

Lazy eye isn’t always easy to notice, especially in young kids. Some signs parents can watch out for include squinting, closing one eye, tilting the head, or bumping into things often. If an eye seems to drift or appear crossed, it may also signal a problem.

“Treatment works by encouraging the brain to use the weaker eye, helping it catch up. Common approaches include eye patching—covering the stronger eye for a few hours a day, prescription glasses to improve focus, and sometimes even eye drops to temporarily blur the stronger eye. In some cases, surgery may be required to fix alignment or remove obstructions,” observes Dr. Rishi Raj Borah, Country Director, Orbis(India). Early diagnosis—preferably before age 7—offers the best results, though vision in older kids and even adults can still improve with the right care.

The good news? Lazy eye can usually be treated successfully if caught early. Routine eye exams, especially in the preschool years, can catch hidden vision problems and help your child grow up seeing clearly with both eyes.
