X , originally New Lord & Company, began in the
year 1947. A couple of years later, this small
tailoring shop was bought over by Mr Arjan
Daswani. X brought Indian men's tailor
craftsmanship to international acclaim.Their

Abdulla. They are constant visitors of first &

.

. The concept of X was based on a "tragic
misunderstanding" of research conducted at Stanford
University, showing that the same part of the brain in
use while using a mouse or keyboard was also
responsible for emotional reactions while interacting
with other human beings and thus is the reason people
yell at their computer monitors. The misunderstanding
made by Microsoft was that if humans reacted to
computers the same way they react to other humans,
it would be beneficial to include a human-like face in
their software. However, since humans already react to
computers the same way they do humans, including a
human-like face in their software would be
unnecessary.
The X was heavily mocked in popular culture, being
parodied, appearing in memes, and even being made
fun of by Microsoft themselves from 2001 onwards.

The name of corporate “X" is derived from the
symbolic mountain of the gods, an icon of
unshakeable reliability and character. Ancient
mythology says that X is the centre of the
world with sun and all the planets in the solar
system revolving around it.Its also believed to
be the abode of heaven and gods. X peak is a
mountain that lies in the Garhwal Himalayas
,in the Uttarakhand region.It lies between
Thalay sagar and Shivling.

selling donuts in their privately owned shops that
they were sought out by individuals wanting to
use Southern Maid products in their own
bakeries and stores. An interesting note: X did
the only commercial of his life for any product for
Southern Maid Donuts. He sang the jingle. "You
can get them piping hot after 4 P.M., you can get
them piping hot, Southern Maid Donuts hits the
spot, you can get them piping hot after 4 P.M."

Creator of mascot was sitting in his kitchen to create an
advertising campaign for X 's refrigerated dough
product line (biscuits, dinner rolls, sweet rolls and
cookies). He imagined a living Y popping out of a X
Crescent Rolls can. To distinguish the Y from the rolls,
he gave it a scarf, a chef's hat, two big blue eyes, a
blush, and a soft, warm chuckle when poked in the
stomach.
The success of mascot led to the creation of X Playthings.
Playthings introduced Y as a doll in 1972. The vinyl,
non-toxic doll was one of the fastest selling toys in the

1972 by Playthings magazine. Later a family of doll was

first product, X by Y Studio headphones, in late 2008.
