Zoom to build customised products for education, medicine segments

Following the large scale adoption of its technology platform amid the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, video-conferencing major Zoom is looking at building customised products and solutions targeting niche segments such as education and medicine.

It is also planning to come out with highly secured vdeo conferencing solutions to cater to specific requirements such as corporate board meetings, said Velchamy Sankarlingam, president of Product and Engineering at Zoom.

“We will now focus on vertical markets to look at industry-specific needs like education and healthcare. These would involve product customisation and regulatory compliance,” he added.

Speaking at a convention, organised by the All India Management Association on Tuesday, Sankarlingam said that while the technology has been there for a while, previously there was a preference to be physically present and do a lot of things in person.
