Well, as someone who is closely connected to those in the know, the product demonstrated is not even Indian. It is from some tier-2/3 supplier in China. As strange as it might sound, there isn't an Indian manufacturer who makes extremely low tech or low cost products in this space. Looks like Mr.Sibal (the Minister) just wanted to throw a foolhardy challenge to brands in India to create an ultra low cost device, which could potentially revolutionize the education landscape in the country.
