Tech Mantra, Amrita TV’s new cutting edge technology-based show, checks out the coolest electronic gadgets and slickest hi-tech gizmos lining the shelves of the e-universe. It will be telecast every Saturday at 2.00pm, starting August 6th .
By taking a retrospective look at the devices that have already become a rage and stealing a sneak peek at the innovations waiting to be unleashed, the programme gives a sweeping view of the 21st century mantra that is transforming our lives in new ways, every day.
Tech Mantra opens with a segment that browses into an area guaranteed to make any hard core techie go weak at the knees, in Go Mobile. From play station smartphones, Android touch phones and superphones, it covers the best deals in town, the grooviest buys just around the corner, roping in inputs from tech companies and accessing tech conferences for the latest downloads in mobiles.
Top 5 breaks new ground by preparing a ready ranking list that assures viewers of good returns for their money, while having a fling in the electronics bazaar. The segment classifies major electronic items into categories and based on the quality, performance, durability –all gleaned for market reviews and consumer feedback- they grade the top 5 brands in each product division such as LCD, i-pods, laptops etc. So, instead of getting carried away by glib sales talk and indulging in impulsive buying which they may regret later, the viewers gets a well-researched ratings that makes sure he gets his money’s worth.
Top 5 gets more novel in its Hall of Fame section, in which the anchors single out their favourite gismos in a category which they reckon have changed our ways of life, a gadget revolutionary enough to have its name recorded in the distinguished Hall of Fame.

In the awesome world of electronics where gadget generations get replaced faster than you can punch ‘enter’, Tech Mantra puts both cyber punks and tech amateurs many mouse clicks ahead, in this increasingly blue-toothed domain.
