AI in Action at CES 2026: Innovation in tune with you

At CES ®  2026, LG Electronics didn’t just talk about AI – we showed what it looks like when it’s woven into everyday life. Under the theme “Innovation in tune with you,” our exhibit unfolded as a set of connected environments spanning the home, mobility and entertainment. Together, they showed how our Affectionate Intelligence senses what’s happening, understands context and responds in ways that feel natural and helpful. Instead of treating AI as something locked inside devices, we focused on how it moves across spaces. Kitchens, living rooms, vehicles and entertainment setups all became part of one connected experience, where TVs, appliances, robots, software and sensors quietly worked together behind the scenes. This was AI in Action on the show floor.   A Visual Overture – and a Return of an Icon That story began the moment visitors walked in. The  In Tune Monument  was built from 38 LG OLED evo W6, True Wireless Wallpaper TVs, arranged to appear as if...

How Budget 2026 Can Reignite FMCG Demand Across India

               By Krishna Khatwani, Head of Sales - India, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd The Union Budget 2026 will arrive at a time when the FMCG sector would see the building blocks for a sustained consumption upcycle fall into place. GST rationalisation, income tax relief, benign inflation, and supportive rural schemes over the last year have created a foundation; the next Budget can determine whether this translates into broad-based, durable growth across both urban and rural India. From a household’s lens, three levers will matter most: how much additional disposable income is created, how evenly it is distributed across segments, and how predictably it flows into daily consumption rather than one ‑ time spending.
