Videocon Telecom's Facebook Page Turned into Videocon Wallcam

Do you ever wonder what happens to the telecom company's facebook when they shut down the store?

I had an idea. And that was found today, though screenshot was taken long back in 30-11-2017. 


Dhoot Group backed Videocon Telecom, a subsidiary of Quadrant Televentures stopped its mobile services in the last telecom circle - Punjab w.e.f. February 15th, 2017. However till this day their website is still running at http://www.videocontelecom.com/   

Back in July 2017 Videocon Telecom ventured into one of the fastest growing Security and Surveillance market by launching a new brand - Videocon Wallcam (website: https://videoconwallcam.com/

After the launch Videocon did not create a new facebook page of Wallcam, instead they revised the page of previous Videocon Telecom - as you can see in the screenshot. 

Wallcam fb page: https://www.facebook.com/VideoconWallcam/ [update below]

At the launch event Arvind Bali, CEO, Videocon Telecom says,

The current video surveillance market of approx Rs 3650 Cr is 55% of the overall Rs 6600 Cr security & surveillance market and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 26% and reach Rs 9150 Cr by 2021, which is 2.5 times the current market size. The growth will be driven by households,including small commercial establishment(Shops& offices) segments and the key success factor for market expansion will be affordability, ease of use (plug n play), and quality.This is where Videocon as a brand has its expertise in.We are all set to enter this market in a big way and capitalize on brand acceptability, manufacturing capabilities, R&D, distribution strength and reach.

Why ‘WallCam’, there is a very interesting background behind this. The term CCTV is a technical lingo and stands for Closed circuit television, while what we are selling is surveillance cameras. There is no product name to identify the category with, and this is where our marketing team came up with this interesting thought of a brand name which could represent the product category, something similar to Handycam for mini-camcorders, and Walkman for mini music players. Our objective is to make our brand ‘Wallcam’ a synonymous to CCTV cameras.”

I am not going deep on the security and video surveillance market, because that's beyond discussion here. 

Update : 4th September 2018

I found this: 

Now the page is located at https://www.facebook.com/OzoneWallcam/ and they did all kind of delinking with Videocon branding. Even their 'about us' says:
