VinFast India, a subsidiary of global electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast, has been honored with the prestigious “Design of the Year Award” for its premium VF 7 SUV at the Zee Media Auto Summit 2025. The award recognizes VinFast’s commitment to innovative design that blends style, functionality, and sustainability to redefine the Indian automotive landscape.

L-R: Mr. Raktim Das, CEO, Zee Media Corporation Ltd.; Mr. Bhartendu Singh, CMO, VinFast India; & Mr. Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, GoI

The Zee Media Auto Summit is an annual gathering organised by Zee Media Publications, bringing together industry leaders, experts, and innovators to highlight key achievements and examine the trends shaping the future of mobility in India. Known for its credible industry discussions, it has become a respected name among India’s automotive awards.

At this year’s event, the VinFast VF 7 made a strong impression on the distinguished jury with its futuristic yet functional design. 

Drawing inspiration from aerospace engineering, especially supersonic aircraft, the C-segment SUV uses sharp lines and bold forms to convey speed and precision even at rest. Hidden door handles, widened proportions, and a tapered roofline add visual drama while improving aerodynamics.

The VF 7’s interior continues the design language known as “Asymmetric Aerospace,” developed by Italy’s Torino Design, with a driver-focused cockpit layout. Strong performance, an expansive panoramic glass roof, large touchscreens, and a full suite of ADAS features work together to give the VF 7 a clear edge in India’s electric vehicle segment.

The accolade adds to a growing list of honours for the VF 7 less than a year after its launch in India, including Most Awaited New Car by ABP Live News and EV Disruptor of the Year by the Jagran Hi-Tech Awards. The VF 7 and the smaller VF 6 are both assembled at VinFast’s facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu.

Speaking on the achievement, Mr. Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia, said, “We are deeply honoured to receive the Design of the Year award from Zee Media, a foremost authority in automotive journalism. This accolade reflects the unwavering dedication of our team to innovation and excellence. The VF 7 represents VinFast’s steadfast commitment to introducing stylish and sustainable mobility solutions tailored to the Indian market.“

Mr. Rajiv Malik, Auto Editor – Zee Media Publications, said, “The VF 7 epitomises excellence in contemporary automotive design, distinguished by its elegant proportions and meticulous engineering. This recognition affirms VinFast’s vision in crafting vehicles that marry sophistication with advanced technology, in alignment with evolving consumer expectations.”

Within a short span, VinFast has established itself as one of the most promising entrants in India’s EV sector, driven by its visionary approach and dedication to delivering premium, accessible electric vehicles for all. The company is building a comprehensive EV ecosystem that integrates manufacturing, retail, charging, and after-sales services to ensure a seamless customer experience, by establishing strategic collaboration with local partnerships. It currently operates 24 dealerships across key cities and plans to reach 35 by the end of CY2025.

With a steadfast focus on innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric design, VinFast continues to advance its mission of accelerating the transition to clean mobility while shaping a greener, more inclusive future for India’s automotive industry.

Truecaller today announced the launch of Family Protection, a major new feature designed to make digital safety a shared experience among families. Built directly into the Truecaller app on both Android and iOS, Family Protection enables users to form trusted family groups to provide real-time protection against scams and unwanted calls. On Android, the Family Administrator can receive alerts during potential scam calls for other family members and end such calls remotely.

Truecaller announces the launch of Family Protection Feature

A New Proposition for Family Safety
Family Protection lets up to five people join a trusted family group with shared tools that help them stay safe from scam calls. Each group has a Family Admin who can set protection levels, manage blocklists, and guide how unwanted calls are handled. On Android, the Admin can also use real-time support tools to step in when a suspicious call appears. The aim is simple: make it easier to protect less tech-savvy loved ones from increasingly sophisticated scam calls.

Truecaller announces the launch of Family Protection Feature

Powerful Protection and Remote Management
Family Protection gives the Family Admin a clear set of tools to guide safety across the group. The Family Admin can set and update protection levels, manage blocklists and use remote support tools when needed. On Android, the Admin can also receive alerts during potential scam calls, send suspicious calls to family members remotely and see real-time status signals such as battery level, phone activity and availability. 

These tools give families a clearer picture of how their loved ones are using their phones and help them step in when support is needed.

A Growth Driver for Engagement and Premium Conversion
Family Protection is a free feature but opens a new path for engagement and long-term revenue. By helping families protect one another, Truecaller strengthens its role in daily communication and adds a shared safety layer that encourages repeat use.

For families who want a stronger level of protection, Truecaller Premium Family offers a natural upgrade. The plan covers up to five people and adds advanced spam blocking, automatic rejection of high-risk numbers, and an ad-free experience. This aligns directly with Truecaller’s strategic objective of growing recurring subscription revenues and driving user stickiness through high-value features.

Phased Rollout and Market Focus
Family Protection is first rolling out in four pilot markets: Sweden, Chile, Malaysia, and Kenya. India launch is planned for Q1 2026. This phased rollout allows Truecaller to learn from early adoption and prepare for broader deployment in our largest market.

Looking Ahead
Family Protection marks an important step in Truecaller’s product strategy, moving beyond call identification toward a wider ecosystem of communication safety. It reflects the company’s long-term vision to make tomorrow’s communication smarter, safer and more efficient.

“Truecaller is already being used by members of the family, and now we empower the “CTO” of the family to protect the less tech savvy members” said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, CEO at Truecaller. “As scam tactics evolve, we want Truecaller to be the platform families rely on for peace of mind and proactive protection.”

About Truecaller
Truecaller is an essential part of everyday communication for over 450 million active users, with more than a billion downloads since launch and close to 56 billion unwanted calls identified and blocked in 2024 alone. The company has been headquartered in Stockholm since 2009 and has been publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since October 2021.

A New Chapter for Indian Climbing

Intended as a dedicated space for elite athletes, it quickly attracted a diverse community of students, travellers, and first-time climbers who discovered the sport and kept coming back. Equilibrium further evolved into India’s first homegrown climbing gear ecosystem, including shoes, crash pads, holds, and volumes.

Equilibrium Whitefield represents the brand’s largest leap yet, a facility built to support real training, real movement, and the growing community that has shaped climbing culture in India.

The SLAB Café Launch

The launch also marks the opening of SLAB – Equilibrium’s new in-house café concept inspired by the textures and geometry of climbing. Serving personal-sized pizzas, smoothies, sandos, salads, and coffee. Designed as a warm, communal gathering point, SLAB reflects the same spirit of movement, creativity, and connection that defines Equilibrium.

Facility Highlights

• Full-scale bouldering arena

• 16 roped climbing lanes across 10–12m walls for lead, top-rope, and speed

• Dedicated strength & conditioning zone

• Recovery and cool-down area to support safe progression

• Fully equipped kids’ climbing section designed for safety and exploration

• SLAB — Equilibrium’s in-house cafe

Equilibrium is steered by long-time climbers, coaches, and community builders Archana B S and Mahanya Sreedhar, both of whom remain deeply connected to the floor, climbing, testing gear, and shaping the community they lead.

“Equilibrium started as a small space with big dreams. Today, we’re proud to launch a facility that meets global standards while staying honest to our roots, inclusive, grounded, and community-first. Whitefield is our commitment to building Indian climbing, one climber at a time,” Mahanya Sreedhar, Managing Director, Equilibrium Climbing Station.

Climb Bold. Move Free. It’s not just a motto; it’s the mindset behind everything Equilibrium creates.

The Postcard in the Durrung Tea Estate, Assam

This year’s selection followed a first-hand evaluation by Philippe Servais, Editor-in-Chief of The Gallivanter’s Guide, whose reviews are regarded as a definitive benchmark for luxury travellers seeking authenticity, excellence, and emotional resonance.

He further added, “The Postcard vision – intimate, sincere, unhurried, and rooted in place – feels profoundly relevant to discerning travellers today.” Also recognising The Postcard Hotel’s emphasis on character and service rather than facilities and spectacle, he indicated that the brand’s anytime check-in and check-out, all-day breakfast, as well as genuine hospitality delivered with sincerity at its hotels – quietly disrupts the status quo of Indian luxury.

STAGE, the OTT platform built for India’s regional language audiences, has completed a INR 4.2 crore secondary transaction that allowed early employees and angel investors to partially exit their holdings. The transaction was facilitated by Hissa Fund, which specializes in providing liquidity to startup employees before traditional exit events.

STAGE in partnership with HISSA Fund completes INR 4.2 Crore liquidity event – 8 early employees cash out ESOPs after 6-year bet on regional content

Six years, from zero to six million
For the eight employees who participated, this wasn’t a routine financial event. Several joined STAGE when the idea of building a premium OTT platform for Haryanvi, Rajasthani, and Bhojpuri content seemed like a moon shot. 

Junaid and Kunal, both founding team members who have been with STAGE since day one. They are among those who sold a portion of their vested ESOPs.

“I used the money to pay off my home loan,” says Junaid. “In the Indian context, fully owning the house where your family sleeps means something. Six years ago, I took a risk when I decided to back my founders. Today, that bet has paid for my home.”

Kunal’s first move was simpler: “I gave it to my mother,” he said. “Watching her face when she saw the amount credited, I’ll remember this moment for a long time.”

Rohit Deshmukh (Product Manager at STAGE) saw the buyback as proof of something he’d sensed when he joined. “I’ve worked at places where ‘ownership culture’ is a slide in an all-hands deck. Here, I got ESOPs on day one. Now I’ve cashed a portion of them out. That’s the difference between talking about ownership and actually doing it.” 

Why this matters 
STAGE has grown to over 6 million+ paying subscribers, making it one of India’s largest regional language OTT platforms. The company is preparing to launch in two additional markets like Marathi & Gujarati in 2026.

“As a founder, this is one of the most satisfying milestones,” says Vinay Singhal, Co-Founder of STAGE. “The people who believed in us when we had nothing now have something real to show for it. That’s how it should work.”

For Satish Mugulavalli, Managing Partner at Hissa Fund, STAGE represents a broader shift. “Early employees at high-growth companies often wait years for any liquidity. We are proud to help STAGE’s team realize returns while the company is still scaling.”

About STAGE 
STAGE is India’s leading hyperlocal entertainment OTT platform, offering original web series, films, micro-dramas and entertainment in Haryanvi, Rajasthani, and Bhojpuri. The platform serves audiences who want premium content in their own dialects.

About Hissa Fund 
The Hissa Fund I is a $35 million effort to solve an overlooked but important problem; Employees in growth stage startups are sitting on nearly $3 billion of ESOP value they can’t actually monetise. We’re the first fund designed to change that. By purchasing shares representing exercised options, we help them turn years of hard work into real liquidity. Thereby, we also help the startups to maximise the value of the grants they make.

Embassy Developments Ltd. (NSE: EMBDL / BSE: 532832) announced the exceptional response to Embassy Greenshore, its newly launched premium residential project within Embassy Springs, North Bengaluru’s biggest and best-planned city.

Embassy Greenshore

Spanning ~14 acres and encompassing 1.55 million sq. ft. of saleable area, the development comprises 878 spacious 2, 3, and 4 BHK apartments spread across two phases. Crafted for upper-mid-segment buyers seeking an elevated living experience, Embassy Greenshore introduces a distinct product typology with larger-than-usual configurations rarely available at its price point in the North Bengaluru micromarket. The launch of Phase 1 comprised of 700 units spread over 1.34 million sq. ft. of saleable area. The project witnessed a strong market response, achieving bookings worth ~Rs. 860 crore within five days of the launch.

A key differentiator is the project’s meticulous master planning – ensuring a high degree of privacy with no homes looking into one another and offering residents access to their own ~3-acre central park with dedicated leisure zones and access to multiple amenities spread across the podium. These features, combined with premium finishing standards, position Embassy Greenshore as North Bengaluru’s most compelling “affordable luxury” development – offering an aspirational lifestyle within reach.

Located in proximity to Kempegowda International Airport and key employment hubs, the project benefits from Embassy Springs’ integrated ecosystem of green landscapes, social infrastructure such as Embassy Academy – a CBSE-affiliated school, and connectivity, reinforcing its appeal as a preferred residential destination.

Speaking on the milestone, Reeza Sebastian Karimpanal, Chief Revenue Officer – Residential, Embassy Developments Ltd., said, “The overwhelming response to Embassy Greenshore reflects a growing desire among homebuyers for homes that offer more – more space, more privacy, more refinement. We have intentionally designed larger formats with expansive living spaces, tucked-away walk-in wardrobes, and marble finishes to deliver a sense of everyday luxury rarely seen at this price point. With a thoughtfully crafted masterplan that ensures no homes overlook each other, Embassy Greenshore offers a level of comfort and exclusivity that is genuinely new for this micromarket. Phase 2 of the project, consisting of a premium tower, will be launched by January 2026.”

This achievement follows the recent sell-out of Embassy Paradiso within the same township and is another step in EDL’s focused growth journey, reinforcing its leadership in North Bengaluru’s residential market and signalling a strong start to its next phase of launches.
