While it’s not going to replace the communication platform, it’s going to become a part of our daily life and might replace smaller things which never bothered us much. Right from Smart Bulbs to Glasses, Watches to Shoes that can communicate data in real time and can be gold mine for both businesses and consumers.

Though we know the wearables space is primed to go mainstream soon, we are still exploring how they actually shape up. So join us in our endeavour of analyzing and breaking down this emerging field of technology.

Background

Connected Arena was an accident. It just happened when Ashish, Nirmal and Raju were discussing about latest trends, the announcement of Android Wear and so on. All three were interested in doing something new and had a common interest, so decided to venture out to do things together instead of doing it all alone. What started out as Wearables Arena got rebranded as Connected Arena in March 2015. Connected Arena has bases in US & India.

Here is a bit of our profiles.

The Team

Ashish Mohta: He has been into Tech Writing for 8 years now. He first started with Windows at Technospot.Net, then moved to Mobile platform where he founded WPXBOX.COM along with Nirmal, which talks about Windows Phone, its apps, devices reviews. He is also a bit of gamer, part of which gets into the Xbox Section.

He thinks that it’s time for wearables and the one which can keep the beauty and be least distractive can survive in long term. In his strongest belief, a watch can be replaced by something better, if  one using it don’t have to look at it all the time but stays notified and still keep his watch.
