History Of Sony

Sony Corporation, commonly known as Sony, is a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Kōnan, Minato, Tokyo. The company began its journey in 1946 when Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita founded Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. (Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation). Initially, it was a small enterprise operating out of a bomb-damaged department store in Tokyo. Over the years, it transformed itself into a global giant in various industries, including electronics, entertainment, and financial services. In 1958, the company officially changed its name to Sony, derived from the Latin word "sonus," which means sound, and "sonny," a colloquial term used in the United States to refer affectionately to a young boy. This rebranding marked the company's commitment to innovation, quality, and cutting-edge technology.
