Tvs Electronics To Market Modular Infotech Products

Software firm Modular Infotech has joined hands with TVS Electronics for marketing its software products in northern India.

In May, TVS Electronics picked up 33 per cent equity stake in Modular Infotech.

"Traditionally, TVS Electronics has been marketing hardware, but after having picked up a sizeable equity stake in our company, it will now market our software, too, through its existing marketing network. We have already started training the TVS Electronics dealers to sell our software products," said M N Cooper, director of Modular Infotech.

Meanwhile, Modular Infotech has announced the launch of its latest software, Shree-Lipi 4.0, an advanced version of Shree-Lipi 3, which was launched in 1998.

The new version, besides catering to the publishing industry, will fulfil the requirements of the multilingual software industry in the country. The latest version has 433 new fonts, bringing the total number of fonts to 2,195. The company has added new utilities such as a wordprocessor called "Patrika".

The new version is available in 16 languages, including some foreign languages such as Sinhalese, Arabic and Russian. For software developers in regional languages, the new Shree-Lipi version provides tool kit for back-end operations. It also has web designing abilities.
