Harish Bhimani pioneered the age of teleprompters in India.

In his own words...

The Teleprompter has been on my wish list since way back in 1978 when I went to the US on a holiday. During this visit, a trip to the news-room of a TV channel was my top priority - certainly more than a visit to the Statue of Liberty! Being an established newscaster on TV back in India, I was very keen to see how the broadcasting fraternity functioned in the most advanced country in the world.

The first thing that struck me was the level of professionalism in their approach. In a nut-shell, if you were expected to give a top-notch performance, you also received the best facilities to make such a performance possible. That is when I first saw a TELEPROMPTER!

It was a dream! No shuffling of haphazardly scribbled news items on sheets of paper! A visibly relaxed expression, with an added ease in impromptu asides! I came back to Mumbai and the daily grind, resigned to the fact that our TV was not yet ready to pamper us 'over-paid' newscasters with a teleprompter.

But the teleprompter stayed with me and I managed to get the first privately owned teleprompter to India in 1992. As a performing broadcaster, I understood the requirements from the performers'  perspective. With my pulse on the market, I selected components & made appropriate  innovations, in order to assemble the most suitable model for the prevailing Indian conditions - including our multi-lingual milieu, thus pioneering teleprompting in India.
