Meet the Acharya brothers; they helped enable DVDs, now they are turning cars into computers
Margi Systems, a US company founded by Shrinath and Shrikant Acharya.
Margi created the first widely available Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card that enabled full DVD playback on laptops. It is a standard for peripheral cards used in laptops.
Users could connect this hardware, plug in a DVD and enjoy movies on their laptops with a Margi card. This was a disruption in the 1990s.
“We owned pretty much the whole market globally in this,” Shrinath told TOI.
DVDs are equipped with an encryption layer on top of the MPEG2 video format to protect the intellectual property of movie studios by preventing unauthorised copying of the content on a disc.
