Puresight Systems launches Roomba Combo j7+ in India

Published

on

Mumbai: Puresight Systems, the exclusive and official distributor of iRobot products in India, has announced the availability of the Roomba Combo j7+, the world’s most advanced robot vacuum and mop, powered by iRobot OS intelligence, in India.

Puresight Systems brings the Roomba Combo j7+ to customers at their offline and online stores. Starting at ₹89,900/- the Roomba Combo j7+ stands out from other 2-in-1  robots by vacuuming and mopping in a single cleaning job, saving time while keeping  floors fresh and clean. This is possible thanks to a fully retractable mop pad that lifts itself to the top of the robot when it encounters carpet and rugs – the first 2-in-1 of its kind – 

preventing wet carpet messes. iRobot OS brings features and digital experiences that  improve intelligence and personalisation across the company’s portfolio of connected  robots – offering even more thoughtful updates for pet owners, busy families and those looking for more control over how they clean.

Puresight Systems is also bringing the Roomba Combo j7 robot vacuum and mop  without the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal to India at a launch price of Rs 69,900/- .  

“iRobot OS provides the intelligence that powers our robots. It brings to life thoughtful and  intelligent home products that respect, connect and understand the user’s home and  lifestyle, helping our robots become a valued and trusted partner in the home,” said iRobot chairman and CEO Colin Angle. “The Roomba Combo j7+ perfectly marries iRobot OS intelligence with beautifully designed hardware to give customers a vacuum and mop  solution like no other, capable of keeping carpet, rugs, and hard floors cleaner and fresher  every day, so customers can live their life. With a more than 30-year heritage, iRobot is continuing to strengthen our brand and products through digital innovation. iRobot OS is  giving our connected product lineup the gift of more intelligence, letting customers’  existing robots clean in new ways.”

The World’s Most Advanced Robot Vacuum and Mop – Roomba Combo j7+ 

Unlike other 2-in-1s, the Roomba Combo j7+ vacuums rugs and carpets first and then  vacuums and mops hard floors concurrently, saving users time by cleaning the area in a  single job. Using advanced sensors, the robot is able to detect various floor types. When  the Roomba Combo j7+ approaches carpet and rugs, its fully retractable mop arms lift  the wet pad to the top of the robot – in a similar way that a convertible raises its roof – preventing wet messes.  

Thanks to iRobot OS and the robot’s PrecisionVision Navigation system, customers don’t  have to worry about cleaning up before the cleaning begins. The Roomba Combo j7+ recognizes more than 80 common objects,1 which enables the robot to clean more  specific places on command, like around kitty litter boxes, toilet bowls, dishwashers and  more. It also allows the robot to detect and avoid floor hazards like cords, clothes, shoes,  socks, backpacks, pet bowls, pet toys, and solid pet waste. To make cleaning even easier,  pair the robot with your voice assistant and simply tell it to clean specific rooms or by  specific objects in your home, and it does what you ask instantly.2 The Roomba Combo  j7+ understands approximately 600 voice commands, more than any other 2-in-1. Users  can customize their Roomba Combo j7+ cleaning jobs in the iRobot Home app, choosing  which rooms should be vacuumed and mopped or vacuumed only, and adjusting the  amount of cleaning solution they want the mop to dispense. 

The Only Mop That Lifts High to Keep Carpets Dry 

Other 2-in-1 mops lift only a few millimeters – if at all – and, as a result, can leave wet  messes on many carpets or rugs. The Roomba Combo j7+ is the only 2-in-1 with a mop  that lifts itself to the top of the robot, completely away from carpet and rugs. Two fully  retracting, durable, metal mop arms raise the mop pad when the robot senses carpet and  rugs, preventing unwanted wet messes.

The First Truly Hands-Free Vacuum and Mop Robot 

Using the Roomba Combo j7+ is simple. The robot senses when a mop pad is attached  and the mopping solution tank is full – and then goes into mopping mode automatically. Other 2-in-1s have a mop that you must manually attach yourself after the vacuuming is  done, adding extra work and time. With the Roomba Combo j7+, the mop arm is already  attached and ready to go. For vacuuming, it also comes with the Clean Base® Automatic  Dirt Disposal system so you can forget about vacuuming for months at a time. The Clean  Base allows the Roomba Combo j7+ to empty the dirt and debris it collects into an  enclosed bag that doesn’t need to be replaced for up to 60 days. 

iRobot OS Home Intelligence – Clean Where You Want, When You Want

iRobot OS delivers a premium and customizable experience for all customers, including  pet owners, busy families and anybody looking for more control over how they clean. As  part of iRobot’s continued development of iRobot OS, the company is introducing new 

features and thoughtful digital experiences that improve intelligence, personalisation and  control across its portfolio of connected Roomba robot vacuums and Braava jet robot mops. Expanded object recognition allows more cleaning on command, navigation of every floor’s obstacle course and a continued focus on delivering more pet features than any other robot.

∙ Clean More Specific Places on Command – The iRobot OS visual vocabulary has expanded with moreClean Zone recommendations. In addition to objects like couches, tables, counters and holiday trees, Roomba robot vacuums with Imprint Smart Mapping and the Braava jet m6 robot mop can also automatically detect  and proactively recommend clean zones around dishwashers, toilets,  ovens/stoves, litter boxes and pet bowls. Users are also able to customize their  Smart Map by designating their own precision Clean Zones. Using Alexa or Google  Assistant-enabled devices, users can instruct their robot to clean these zones with  just their voice, such as, “Alexa, tell Braava jet m6 to mop around the toilet.”

∙ Avoids More of the Objects You Want It to Avoid – Roomba j Series robot  vacuums can detect and avoid even more floor hazards, providing greater peace  of mind that the job will get done for busy families and pet owners. Roomba j Series  robots can recognize and avoid pet toys, pet bowls, litter boxes and backpacks, in addition to items like shoes/slippers, socks, cords, headphones, clothing, towels  and solid pet waste. 

∙ Skip a Room on the Fly – Things do not always go as planned, including your  cleaning routine. You can skip a room during a current cleaning job to avoid  unwanted interruptions or when life throws you a curveball. Pressing the skip button in the iRobot Home App or using your voice with Alexa will skip the room or  zone that the robot is currently cleaning and move onto the next room or area, allowing you to continue your day uninterrupted. 

∙ Clean your way, when you want 7x faster ⁴ than before – iRobot OS now maps  your rooms faster to save you set-up time – enabling you to send your Roomba  Combo™ robot vacuum and mop on targeted room cleanings after just one run. 

∙ Use More Siri Shortcuts – iOS users can create Siri Shortcuts for directed room  cleaning and save “favorites” from the iRobot Home App. You can use your voice  to ask Siri to clean areas like the living room or dining room. Or you can start a  cleaning job using your voice from your saved favorites in the iRobot Home App.  For example, you can say, “Hey Siri, clean after dinner,” and your Roomba or  Braava jet m6 will clean the rooms you designated as that favorite.

iRobot Commitment to Customer Data, Privacy and Security 

iRobot products and iRobot OS are backed by the company’s commitment to customer privacy and data security. All data is kept secure from start to finish, incorporating multiple 

layers of protection around the company’s robots, cloud and app. iRobot treats customer data with the highest standards of privacy protection, and to that end, has obtained the  globally recognized TRUSTe Certified Privacy Seal. Customers may update their settings  in the app at any time, empowering them to determine what information iRobot may  access. iRobot does not, and will not, sell customer data. 

“At iRobot, protecting customer data and privacy is of the utmost importance as we  explore the path forward for home robotics and the future of the home,” continued Colin Angle. “We know that customers welcome us into their homes because they trust that our  products will help them do more, and that we will respect their information. We take that  trust seriously.” 

iRobot is also the first consumer robot company to achieve the third-party TÜV SÜD  Cyber Security Mark, a more stringent framework that goes beyond the industry standard,  for the Roomba j7/j7+ robot vacuum. The company has also achieved the same level of certification for the Roomba Combo j7+ robot vacuum and mop.

Bartronics India unveils AI-powered voice app to scale agritech platform

Published

on

HYDERABAD: Bartronics India Limited is stepping up its agritech ambitions with plans to launch a voice-first, multilingual AI-powered application in March, following a successful pilot across Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.

The pilot phase saw strong engagement from farmers, supported by assured produce off-take through partnerships with SNN and Origo Commodities. Drawing on on-ground feedback, the company is now upgrading the platform to enable deeper interaction, data-driven intelligence and scalable adoption across rural markets.

At the heart of the revamp is AI-enabled voice interaction in major regional languages, including English, Hindi, Marathi, Telugu and Kannada. The voice recognition and conversational agent framework is being developed by Ampivo Smart Technologies, aimed at transforming the app into an intuitive digital assistant for farmers.

Once launched, the platform will offer voice navigation, real-time alerts, contextual advisories, educational tools and interactive knowledge support, designed to improve decision-making across the agricultural value chain.

The application will also capture consent-led farmer data to connect users with electronic mandis and wider marketplaces, while enabling participation in sustainability-linked initiatives such as carbon credit programmes.

Messi magic kicks off in India as immersive football experience lands

Published

on

MUMBAI: When football dreams need a passport, Lionel Messi is ready to stamp it. The Messi Experience – A Dream Come True, the internationally touring immersive exhibition dedicated to one of sport’s most influential figures, is heading to India this March as part of its 2026 world tour. After successful runs across Buenos Aires, Puerto Rico, Panama, Beijing, Chicago, Mexico City, Miami, Los Angeles and São Paulo, the exhibition will make its India debut in Mumbai on March 20, 2026, before moving to Bengaluru from June 19, 2026. The shows will be staged at Century Mills in Lower Parel, Mumbai, and Bhartiya City Mall in Bengaluru.

Produced and promoted by Bookmyshow Live, the experience promises to pull fans inside Messi’s journey, not just his match highlights. “I am thrilled to see this project come to life and bring fans even closer to me both on and off the field,” Messi said, adding that the exhibition would allow Indian fans to relive the most unforgettable moments of his career.

Designed as a 75-minute, multi-sensory walkthrough, the exhibition unfolds across nine themed zones, blending artificial intelligence, immersive environments and exclusive content. Visitors can train like Messi, step into recreated match moments and explore personal stories that shaped his rise from his early days in Rosario to lifting the World Cup trophy in Qatar.

Bookmyshow chief business officer for live events Naman Pugalia said the India debut marks a milestone for football fandom in the country. He described Messi as a global cultural icon whose story transcends sport, adding that the exhibition reflects the company’s ambition to bring world-class immersive entertainment to Indian audiences.

Beyond the storytelling, the experience also features an official merchandise store and an activation zone, extending engagement beyond the exhibition halls. Whether for lifelong fans or first-time followers, The Messi Experience aims to turn football history into a walk-in memory, one that lets India play along with a living legend.

Work stress tops India’s mental health talk, not heartbreak or headlines

Published

on

MUMBAI: When India opens up about mental health, the conversation keeps clocking in at work. A new conversation analysis by Consuma, an AI-native consumer insights platform, shows that workplace pressures are the most frequently discussed trigger in online conversations around mental health awareness in India. The study analysed 136,695 public conversations across Twitter, Reddit, Youtube and Instagram between January 1 and December 31, 2025. Within a focused subset of 20,272 conversations that explicitly discussed what triggers mental health awareness, nearly half 49.72 per cent pointed to work-related stressors, making employment the single largest trigger category online.

The findings echo concerns flagged at the policy level. India’s Economic Survey 2024–25 has already warned that hostile work environments and long working hours can hurt mental wellbeing and productivity. Online conversations suggest employees are feeling the strain long before policy catches up.

Among work-related triggers, poor work–life balance dominates the discussion at 24.37 per cent, followed by general workplace stress at 21.85 per cent and toxic work culture at 15.90 per cent. Long working hours account for 9.57 per cent of mentions, while job insecurity features in 7.50 per cent.

The numbers are backed by sharp, candid commentary. One user writes, “Most Indian employers overcomplicate employee wellness. Let people work async. Let them go for a run in the afternoon. Let them sleep in when their body needs it.”

Consuma notes that these findings apply only to conversations that explicitly discuss triggers for mental health awareness, not the entire universe of mental health discussions online.

The data shows that mental health discourse in India is overwhelmingly driven by adults in their prime working years. People aged 25–34 contribute 50.51 per cent of conversations, while those aged 35–44 account for 34.35 per cent. Together, they represent 84.86 per cent of the discussion.

Work stress, however, is not acting alone. Societal and educational pressures make up 33.98 per cent of trigger conversations, including societal expectations (14.42 per cent), academic pressure (13.92 per cent) and parental pressure (6.09 per cent). One widely echoed sentiment reads, “Indian parents will raise you with a roof over your head, food in your stomach, and shame in your soul.”

Taken together, the data points to a compounding “pressure stack” faced by working-age Indians balancing career demands alongside cultural expectations, education-linked anxiety and family pressure, all while chasing conventional life milestones.

Interestingly, the conversation is not limited to venting. Of the 26,311 conversations analysed for broader mental health themes, discussion is almost evenly split between core challenges (48.05 per cent) and solutions or support systems (43.81 per cent).

Mental health crises dominate the challenge cluster at 32.58 per cent, followed by stigma and lack of awareness at 20.27 per cent. On the solutions side, people lean towards culturally familiar, self-directed approaches rather than institutional pathways. Holistic practices such as music therapy and spiritual wisdom account for 17.34 per cent, practical stress management for 13.72 per cent, celebrity-led awareness for 7.64 per cent and government initiatives for 6.51 per cent.

The shift suggests that people are not only asking “what’s wrong?” but increasingly “what can I do?”even if the answers remain personal and decentralised.

Consuma’s analysis also zooms in on women’s health conversations, where mental wellbeing outweighs physical health topics. Among 1,934 women’s health conversations analysed, mental health accounts for 51.14 per cent, surpassing reproductive and gynaecological health at 37.07 per cent.

Younger adults dominate this space, with 18–44-year-olds contributing over 81 per cent of the discussion. In women’s health awareness triggers (3,489 conversations), societal factors lead at 45.2 per cent, closely followed by mental health drivers at 41.7 per cent.

Healthcare-related challenges appear less frequently at 7.4 per cent, but the tone is striking. Misdiagnosis and medical gaslighting recur as trust-breaking themes. One user notes: “Going to doctors is useless in India as a woman. First, they tell you to lose weight… Then they tell you that you are imagining it or that you are sensitive.”

The report was generated using Consuma’s AI-powered Rapid Research Platform. The dataset was cleaned for noise and duplicates and classified using a multi-coding methodology. Source-wise, the conversations came from Youtube (77,544), Twitter (41,121), Reddit (9,283) and Instagram (8,747).

In a digital space often crowded with noise, the findings paint a consistent picture, for India’s online audience, mental health conversations begin not in therapy rooms or hospitals, but at the workplace and the clock is still ticking.
