From Wednesday, January 21 to Friday, January 23, Sharp\u2019s President CEO Okitsu visited our group companies and sales agents in India and the Middle East, as well as local markets in those regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In India, he first visited Sharp Business Systems (India) Private Limited (SBI), Sharp\u2019s regional sales company. He briefed employees on the current status of Sharp, AIoT home appliances in the Japanese market, and our new corporate slogan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, SBI employees strongly resonated with Okitsu\u2019s message that \u201cspeed must be prioritized in all aspects of technology development, services, and sales activities,\u201d which renewed their motivation toward further growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this, he visited consumer electronics retailers to observe market trends, and inspected supermarkets. By noting the limited number and variety of frozen foods available, he gained a deeper understanding of local market conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
