A Conglomerate's Strategy to Keep Vietnam's Growth in Its Own Hands

When Vingroup, the largest private conglomerate in Vietnam, launched VinMetal in September 2025, it made clear that this was about more than steel. The company is investing about 380 million dollars to produce construction steel and high-strength alloys. Its first customers will be within the group itself, supplying projects for Vinhomes and VinFast. Over time, VinMetal will also target major infrastructure works and exports. “VinMetal is not just a steel plant,” said Nguyen Viet Quang, Vingroup’s vice Chairman and CEO. “It represents a strategic preparation for a modern, green, and sustainable infrastructure future for Vietnam.”

 

In the first three quarters of 2025 alone, VinFast sold more than 100,000 vehicles, a first in Vietnam’s automotive history

 

The move fits neatly into Vingroup’s five-pillar model: Industrials & Technology with VinFast and VinMetal; Real Estate & Services with Vinhomes and Vinpearl; Infrastructure through VinSpeed; Energy via VinEnergo; and Social Enterprises with Vinmec, Vinschool, and VinUni. Together they create a self-reinforcing system. When one grows, the others benefit.

 

This approach has turned Vingroup from a real estate developer into Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate. By mid-2025, its total assets had reached about 39 billion dollars with 5 billion in revenue in the first half of the year. Six of its flagship brands (Vinhomes, VinFast, Vinpearl, Vincom Retail, Vinschool, and Vinmec) now ranked among Vietnam’s 100 most valuable companies.

 

The roots of this ecosystem thinking go back to founder Pham Nhat Vuong. In the early 1990s, he started Technocom in Ukraine, producing instant noodles under the brand Mivina. Within a decade, the company dominated the market, and Vuong sold it with both wealth and experience. When he returned to Vietnam, he focused on building businesses that could transform his homeland. That idea grew into Vingroup, a group that now shapes everything from housing to hospitals. Its guiding belief has stayed simple: build systems that make life better for everyone.

 

Vuong’s strategy relies on control of the entire value chain. From steel and energy to education and healthcare, Vingroup keeps production, innovation, and social investment linked. VinMetal secures domestic materials. VinEnergo builds renewable power sources. VinSpeed develops logistics networks. Vinschool, VinUni, and Vinmec prepare skilled workers and improve public health. The cycle keeps value creation within Vietnam while preparing the country for global competition.

 

VinFast is the clearest example of how this strategy works. Its electric vehicle plant in Hai Phong went from empty land to full-scale production in just 21 months. Around the factory, a network of supporting companies grew quickly. V-Green builds charging stations, already more than 150,000 across Vietnam. Xanh SM runs electric taxis powered by that grid, turning clean transport into an everyday experience.

 

Inside Vingroup’s developments, residents can buy VinFast cars at a discounted rate, park them conveniently, and charge them for free. Engineers at the group’s tech labs developed ViVi, a Vietnamese voice assistant now found in VinFast cars. VinEnergo provides clean energy for the factories. VinMetal will soon supply the steel for the next generation of vehicles. VinRobotics designs automation systems for production. Each company contributes a piece of the puzzle.

 

In 2024, VinFast sold over 67,000 electric vehicles, making Vietnam one of the few markets where EVs outsold petrol cars. In the first three quarters of 2025 alone, VinFast sold more than 100,000 vehicles, a first in Vietnam’s automotive history. It remained the country’s best-selling brand for nearly a year. That scale and speed capture how Vingroup approaches industries it considers vital.

 

Recognition has followed. In 2025, TIME magazine named Vingroup one of the World’s Best Companies, the first Vietnamese firm to appear on the list. The honor reflected not only business results but also employee satisfaction and long-term vision.

 

At home, Vingroup continues to balance profit with purpose. Its Kind Heart Foundation funds healthcare, education, and disaster relief. When Typhoon Bualoi struck Vietnam in 2025, the group helped rebuild homes and support families. In 2024, Vingroup paid over 56 trillion VND in taxes, making it one of the country’s largest private contributors.

 

Now Vingroup wants to show that its model can work beyond Vietnam. Through VinFast, it is expanding into the Philippines, Indonesia, and India. Each market follows the same playbook: build the infrastructure first, then scale production and services. In India, VinFast is stepping into a market eager for EVs but still lacking a dependable charging network. Its plan includes an assembly plant in Tamil Nadu and charging capabilities developed with local and strategic partners, including V-Green and RoadGrid, to create a complete ecosystem.

 

For Indian readers, this story offers a glimpse of how an integrated industrial model can speed up growth in developing economies. Vingroup began by making noodles in Ukraine. Today it is shaping industries from steel to clean energy. Its expansion into India is more than business. It is an experiment in how countries like Vietnam and India can rise by building from within, one strong link at a time.

To support this, the BSF will be providing the necessary land, water, and resources to ensure the long-term maintenance and growth of the plantation, with Prayas Youth Foundation as the implementation partner. During his address, Mr. Chaudhary highlighted how BSF has grown over the years, and also remembering the contribution of Late Shri Ashwini Kumar, Padma Bhushan, former DG of BSF. Last year, Cosmo Foundation had planted 7,500 saplings of Miyawaki at the same campus and in order to cater to the water requirements, Cosmo had supported with laying of a borewell with piping & sprinkler system.

 

“The Border Security Force is deeply committed to the well-being of our nation, and that commitment extends to protecting our environment,” said Shri Daljit Singh Chawdhary, IPS, Director General, BSF, speaking on the occasion. “We are proud to partner with Cosmo Foundation in this meaningful effort. Planting 15,000 trees here at the Chhawala Campus is not just about adding greenery—it’s a vital step toward climate resilience and a powerful example of the synergy between national service and corporate social responsibility. We are immensely thankful to Cosmo Foundation for their continued contribution and in making our campus much greener.”

 

The event was graced by Mr. Ashok Jaipuria, Chairman, Board of Trustees – Cosmo Foundation and Chairman & Managing Director – Cosmo First Ltd., and Mrs. Yamini Jaipuria, Managing Trustee – Cosmo Foundation and Whole-time Director – Cosmo First Ltd. Senior BSF officials, senior team from Cosmo First Ltd, and Cosmo Foundation, students from BSF School and Jamia Hamdard University, Invitees and the implementation team were also present, contributing to the plantation drive.

 

In their joint statement, Mr. & Mrs. Jaipuria reaffirmed, “At Cosmo First, we believe that true industrial progress is measured not only by innovation and productivity but also by the positive footprint we leave on the environment. Our continuous investments in cleaner technologies, renewable energy, and sustainable operations reflect our long-term vision of growth that respects both people and the planet. This plantation drive strengthens that purpose—turning intent into action for a greener, more responsible future.”

 

This Miyawaki and Fruit Bearing Forestry drive is a part of Cosmo Foundation’s ongoing environmental mission, which has already resulted in the planting of over 1.6 lakh (1,60,000) trees across 179 acres in Delhi, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. Notable successes include the creation of a Biodiversity Hub in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), where 40,000 trees have been planted, with plans for an additional 35,000 by FY 2025-26, establishing it as one of Maharashtra’s largest biodiversity zones.

 

Alongside this, Cosmo Foundation’s comprehensive environmental work includes maintaining urban green spaces, creating rainwater harvest systems, and conducting plantation drives with schools, BSF, Indian Army, and farmers.

Navi Mumbai International Airport will Propel Indian Aviation to New Heights: Jaideep Mirchandani Group Chairman Sky One

With the inauguration of the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), Mumbai joined the elite list of global cities boasting twin airports. The new facility, spanning 1,160 hectares in its initial phase, is expected to accommodate 20 million passengers annually. Once fully operational, it is expected to manage 155 million passengers annually through four terminals and two runways. Industry experts believe the inauguration is in sync with India’s booming aviation sector. The capacity of the existing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai has been stretched to the limit, and the new airport will help ease congestion.

 

Jaideep Mirchandani, Group Chairman Sky One 
 

Not only will it serve Pune, Mumbai, and the busy Konkan corridor, but the new airport will also provide access to global destinations and markets, enhancing passenger experiences and trade. Further, it is expected to handle over 3.2 million metric tonnes of cargo annually, helping India strengthen its footprint in the sector,” says Jaideep Mirchandani, Group Chairman of Sky One.
 
Discussing the multi-modal connectivity offered by the new airport, he added, “It will be connected with various transport systems, including the expressway network, metro rail, suburban rail, and waterway services. Such multi-modal connectivity is essential to make the airport a major aviation hub.”

 

Built for Rs 19,650 crore, the new airport is expected to create 200,000 jobs across various sectors, including logistics, IT, and hospitality. It will also be India’s first fully digital airport, offering facilities for pre-booked parking spaces, baggage handling, and immigration services. Meanwhile, the terminal, designed by London’s Zaha Hadid Architects, is shaped like a lotus flower. The airport will also feature art that highlights Maharashtra’s heritage and culture.
 
Fully automated, AI-enabled terminals support the airport. Technological upgradation is essential for an enhanced customer experience, and the new facility perfectly reflects that,” concludes Mr Mirchandani.

Loop Launches HealthFlex: The Answer to 90% of Corporate Health Budgets Going Unused

Loop Health, an insurance and healthcare partner serving over 1 million lives across 1,250+ companies, has announced the launch of HealthFlex, a first-of-its-kind benefits set-up that converts employee insurance budgets into health wallets. These wallets can be used to access specialist care, preventive health programs, family eldercare, mental wellness, and more.

Indian employers spend an average of INR 25,000–30,000 per employee annually on health benefits, yet nearly 90% of these allocations remain unused—locked in traditional insurance structures while employees continue to pay out-of-pocket for gyms, diagnostics, and consultations they actively use.

 

Unlike traditional broker platforms that offer variations of insurance coverage, HealthFlex converts employer allocations into digital health wallets with transparent balances. Employees select from life-stage benefit bundles—such as maternity care, chronic disease management, or preventive wellness—and access services through cashless, e-commerce-style transactions. The approach eliminates reimbursement delays and paper-based claims that typically suppress utilization.

 

Early adopters including Ola, Zepto, Livspace, ShareChat, Blu Pine, and Data Direct Networks report 30% upgrade rates, with participating employees averaging Rs. 18,000 in additional benefit utilization.

 

Loop Health is uniquely positioned as both an IRDAI-licensed Direct Broker managing group insurance and a healthcare provider with in-house doctors, 24×7 medical concierge, and partnerships with Cult.fit, Clove Dental, Orange Health, Redcliffe Labs, Lenskart, Newmi, and other healthcare vendors. This vertical integration eliminates the vendor fragmentation typical of traditional insurance companies, where employers must coordinate between separate insurance brokers, TPAs, wellness vendors, and healthcare providers—a process that typically requires Rs. 5-10 lakh in implementation fees and 3-6 months of HR bandwidth. With HealthFlex, the entire set-up is provided at no implementation cost to Loop’s customers.

 

The flex benefits market has grown 300%, but we’ve been solving the wrong problem,” said Mayank Kale, CEO and Co-founder, Loop Health. “Legacy flex was designed by insurers to sell more coverage variations. HealthFlex empowers employees to direct their benefits where they’re actually needed—health checkups for themselves, diabetes management for aging parents, fitness memberships for prevention. This is what benefits were always supposed to do.”

 

Following strong early adoption, Loop Health plans to expand HealthFlex availability to mid-market and enterprise organizations across India over the next 12 months.
