Vivek Dube interacted with students at the Galgotias Dialogue Series, where young minds engage with leaders, thinkers, and changemakers


Organised by Galgotias Career Connect, a student-led club focused on industry interaction, leadership engagement, and career awareness, the session was held as part of the Galgotias Dialogue Series, a platform through which students engage with distinguished thinkers, policymakers, public leaders, entrepreneurs, administrators, and professionals from diverse fields to develop broader perspectives beyond classroom learning. The interaction witnessed enthusiastic participation from students across disciplines and evolved into a candid exchange shaped by questions, reflections, and experiences from Shri Dube’s distinguished four-decade-long career in public service.


Addressing the gathering, Shri Vivek Dube spoke about the evolution of policing in India, tracing developments from the Police Act introduced after 1857 to the transition from the Imperial Police to the Indian Police Service. He explained the role of the police in maintaining law and order, legal procedures related to crime investigation, and the challenges involved in crowd management and public safety in a complex and rapidly changing society.


He also reflected on the broader justice ecosystem, describing police, judiciary, and prisons as three interconnected pillars that must function with fairness and accountability to uphold justice while protecting innocent citizens. The discussion further touched upon terrorism, national security, leadership under pressure, and the importance of honesty and integrity in both professional and personal life.


The session became especially engaging during the interactive segment where students asked questions on leadership, UPSC preparation, motivation, emotional resilience, and balancing personal emotions with professional duty. Responding to these questions, Shri Dube advised students to recognise their strengths, remain disciplined, and pursue excellence with determination rather than becoming distracted by criticism or external validation. He also emphasised the importance of physical fitness, mental well-being, and time management in sustaining long-term professional success.


During his interaction, Shri Vivek Dube expressed appreciation for the sprawling campus and academic ecosystem being developed at Galgotias University and said he was particularly impressed by the enthusiasm, curiosity, and active participation of students during the session. He noted that institutions play an important role not only in imparting technical education but also in shaping responsible citizens and future leaders through conversations around ethics, leadership, governance, and public service.


Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO Galgotias University said, “At Galgotias University, we believe students must engage not only with technology and professional education but also with larger questions of leadership, ethics, governance, and nation building. The Galgotias Dialogue Series has been envisioned as a platform where students interact with distinguished thinkers and practitioners from diverse walks of life and gain perspectives that help shape them into more aware, responsible, and future-ready individuals.”


The session concluded with an inspiring message centred on integrity, perseverance, self-belief, and purposeful leadership. Shri Vivek Dube was felicitated by Mr. Saksham Saxena and the Vice Presidents in recognition of his interaction and contribution. The event ended on a motivating and reflective note, leaving students with valuable insights into leadership, public service, and personal growth.

VinFast Introduces the New-Generation VF 8, Featuring Comprehensive User Experience Enhancements

VinFast officially introduced the new-generation VF 8, a D-segment electric SUV featuring a range of upgrades to its technology platform, developed by VinFast’s engineering team to deliver a smoother, more convenient, and more stable driving experience.

 

VinFast will officially begin accepting pre-orders in Vietnam for the new-generation VF 8 through its official website and authorized dealer network nationwide starting May 27, 2026

 

As one of the models that helped mark VinFast’s transition toward becoming a global all-electric vehicle manufacturer, the VF 8 is the first model in the lineup to receive comprehensive upgrades in design, technology, and features, bringing notable improvements to both driving performance and overall user experience.

 

In terms of design and comfort, the new-generation VF 8 was developed based on the “Tech Fluid” philosophy, with the idea of integrating technology into the vehicle’s design language and everyday usability. The design emphasizes seamlessness, refinement, and a sense of motion, creating the appearance of a modern and dynamic SUV that reflects a contemporary lifestyle.

 

The vehicle measures 4,701 x 1,872 x 1,670 mm (length x width x height), with a wheelbase of 2,840 mm and a five-seat configuration, helping optimize cabin space and passenger comfort. A ground clearance of 170 mm, combined with 19-inch wheels, allows the new-generation VF 8 to handle a variety of driving conditions with flexibility.

 

At the front, the vehicle reflects a distinctly modern design language, featuring a wide gloss-black grille paired with VinFast’s signature wing-shaped daytime running lights. Large air intakes integrated into both sides of the front bumper contribute to aerodynamic efficiency while adding visual depth to the overall design.

 

Along the sides, the window line gradually rises toward the rear, creating a sense of movement even when the vehicle is stationary. The door panels feature smooth transitions between light and surfaces, combined with defined character lines that create changing reflections as the vehicle moves.

 

At the rear, the design adopts a refined minimalist approach, highlighted by large taillights integrated with VinFast’s signature V-shaped LED strip. The updated rear design contributes to aerodynamic performance while giving the vehicle a younger and more dynamic appearance.

 

Inside the cabin, the new-generation VF 8 features an intuitive and ergonomic layout. At the center of the dashboard is a 12.9-inch infotainment display with a clear interface integrating most vehicle controls in a user-friendly format. A secondary display behind the steering wheel provides key driving information, while the steering-column-mounted gear selector is designed to improve ease of operation.

 

The vehicle is equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control, integrated air ionization, and a Combi 1.0 air filter to support passenger comfort. The sport-inspired ergonomic seats include a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, while the second-row seats can recline and fold flat in a 60:40 split to increase cargo capacity when needed. The vehicle also integrates a virtual assistant supporting multiple Vietnamese dialects, along with an eight-speaker audio system for in-car entertainment.

 

In terms of technology and driving dynamics, the new-generation VF 8 is built on a new chassis platform featuring a suspension system equipped with Frequency Selective Dampers (FSD) on both the front and rear axles. The system can adjust damping characteristics according to road conditions to reduce vibrations on rough surfaces while maintaining vehicle stability.

 

The new-generation VF 8 also features a newly developed electrical and electronic architecture based on the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) approach. The system architecture and control software were designed by VinFast engineers, reflecting the company’s capability to develop core vehicle technologies in-house. At the center of the system is the Central Vehicle Computer (CVC), which manages data processing and vehicle control functions to support quicker and smoother responses to driver inputs.

 

The vehicle is powered by an electric motor producing a maximum output of 170 kW (228 horsepower) and peak torque of 330 Nm, paired with front-wheel drive and three driving modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport. The new-generation VF 8 uses a 60.13 kWh battery pack, providing a driving range of up to 500 km on a full charge based on NEDC standards. The vehicle also supports fast charging from 10% to 70% in under 30 minutes.

 

Notably, the new-generation VF 8 is equipped with an Integrated Thermal Management (ITM) system independently researched, developed, and patented by VinFast. The system manages cooling and heating functions for the battery, motor, electrical system, and cabin climate control in a coordinated and efficient manner. This helps maintain stable vehicle performance, improve energy efficiency, support fast charging capability, and contribute to battery and motor durability, while maintaining cabin comfort in varying weather conditions.

 

In terms of safety, the new-generation VF 8 comes equipped with a comprehensive Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), including features such as Highway Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Warning, and a high-definition 360-degree camera system. The chassis structure and ADAS technologies were developed with the aim of meeting ASEAN NCAP 5-star safety standards.

 

VinFast will officially begin accepting pre-orders in Vietnam for the new-generation VF 8 through its official website and authorized dealer network nationwide starting May 27, 2026. The vehicle is priced at VND 999 million and comes with a warranty of seven years or 160,000 km for the vehicle, and eight years or 160,000 km for the battery, whichever comes first.

 

The first deliveries of the new-generation VF 8 are expected to begin in late July 2026.

Vyshlo Introduces Circular Fashion Platform for Premium Occasion Wear

  • Redefining Occasion Fashion Through Rentals, Resale, and Circular Commerce.

  • India’s peer-to-peer platform for premium occasion wear rentals, resale, and direct purchase.

 

Vyshlo, India’s newest peer-to-peer fashion rental and resale platform, today announced its public launch across India’s major metropolitan cities. The platform enables vendors and individual listers to showcase designer occasion wear, while giving customers a seamless way to discover, rent, and purchase premium fashion for weddings, festive celebrations, and special occasions — including lehengas, sarees, sherwanis, gowns, Indo-western looks, festive wear, menswear, and kids’ wear — delivered to their door, worn for the occasion, conveniently collected afterward, with professional dry cleaning included as part of the rental experience.

 

https://www.newsvoir.com/images/article/image1/35611_A_Vyshlo_moment.jpg

A Vyshlo moment — premium occasion wear for life’s most memorable celebrations


Alongside peer listings, Vyshlo features exclusive designer partnerships and a dedicated Vyshlo-owned collection — giving customers access to curated, high-end occasion wear through a single, seamless platform.


Designed for modern Indian consumers who seek variety, flexibility, and access to premium fashion without the burden of ownership, Vyshlo brings together occasion wear rentals, resale, and circular fashion commerce into one integrated platform.


Founded after a formative experience involving a trademark dispute with its original brand, VastraLoop, Vyshlo was rebuilt from the ground up with a clear philosophy: fashion should be sold as a feeling, not a function.


The name itself — Vyshlo — represents the moment something comes together. The instant a look feels exactly right, confidence rises, memories begin, and the day becomes unforgettable.


We are not in the clothing business. We are in the ‘moment’ business. Every rental, resale, or outfit discovery on Vyshlo becomes someone’s Vyshlo moment — a wedding, a celebration, a family gathering, a day they’ll remember for years,” said Founder, Vyshlo.


The Market Opportunity
India’s wedding and occasion wear industry is one of the largest in the world, with the wedding market alone valued at more than $50 billion annually. The average urban Indian consumer attends multiple weddings, receptions, sangeets, mehendi nights, festive celebrations, cocktail events, and family gatherings every season — each demanding a fresh and elevated look.


Yet the dominant solution remains ownership: expensive garments purchased for one-time use and then stored away indefinitely.


Vyshlo enters the market not merely as a utility platform, but as a modern fashion ecosystem built around what today’s customers truly value — access to extraordinary looks for specific moments, without the permanence, high cost, or wardrobe burden of ownership.


The platform also enables users to monetize underutilized wardrobes through resale and rental participation, helping transform fashion from a one-time purchase into a reusable lifestyle asset.


Platform Highlights

  • Hundreds of premium designer outfits across ethnic, fusion, western, menswear, women’s wear, and kid’s wear — available for rent, resale, and direct purchase, with styles and sizes curated for every occasion.

  • Seamless end-to-end rental experience: doorstep delivery, pickup, professional dry cleaning, and flexible durations.

  • Curated occasion wear collections for weddings, receptions, festivals, engagement parties, cocktail nights, and destination celebrations.

  • Vyshlo Moments” feature tracking how many celebrations each garment has been part of — reinforcing the platform’s circular fashion philosophy.

  • Circular fashion model enabling customers to resell premium outfits back into the marketplace, extending garment life and reducing fashion waste.

  • Exclusive vendor partnerships and a dedicated Vyshlo-owned signature collection.

 

You don’t need to own the outfit — you need the moment, the confidence, and the experience. At Vyshlo, we’re making premium fashion directly accessible to everyone,” said Founder, Vyshlo.


Sustainability
Vyshlo’s rental model directly addresses fashion’s overconsumption crisis. Each garment is professionally cleaned, maintained, and re-rented across dozens of occasions — extending its active life and reducing demand for fast-fashion production.


At Vyshlo, sustainability is not a marketing message — it is embedded into the business model itself.


US Expansion
Following its nationwide India launch, Vyshlo will expand into the United States — targeting major metros including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Houston. The US launch is planned for Q4 2026.


About Vyshlo
Vyshlo is India’s occasion fashion platform for rentals, resale, and direct purchase of premium ethnic and occasion wear — built on the belief that memorable fashion moments should not require permanent ownership. Through an integrated circular fashion experience, customers can rent, buy, and resell designer outfits with doorstep delivery, pickup, and professional dry cleaning for rentals.

 

Vyshlo makes premium fashion more accessible, flexible, and sustainable, and is available on iOS, Android, and the web. Headquartered in California, USA, with India operations based in Hyderabad.

Nicole Junkermann Says Italy Volleyball Shows Blueprint for Womens Sport Growth in India

During the current season, Italy’s top women’s volleyball league generated more than 1.4 billion views across its digital ecosystem. The regular season alone produced over 45 million social media interactions, with an engagement rate of 2.8%. On the athletes’ own channels, that engagement rate jumps to 8.4%. LVF is now the second most-followed sports league in Italy by number of followers, with more than 1.2 million fans on its own channels.

 

Nicole Junkermann points to Italian volleyball as a model for scaling women’s sport in India

 

The league had the same players, the same clubs and the same sporting product it had always had. What changed was the infrastructure around it.

 

For Nicole Junkermann, founder of Gameday by NJF Holdings and the driving force behind LVF’s commercial transformation, those numbers are not primarily a story about Italian volleyball. They’re a template. And the market she thinks they apply to most directly is India.

 

“LVF had world-class athletes, genuine fan interest and a product that could stand up against anything in European sport. What it didn’t have was the commercial and digital machinery to capture that value. The gap between what the league was worth and what it was earning was enormous. That gap is what we invested in. India has versions of that gap in almost every women’s sport it plays.”

 

What the transformation looked like

Gameday became LVF’s largest shareholder under a ten-year partnership structure, establishing a joint venture, Spike Media, to manage the league’s full rights package. It deployed a technology stack designed to turn passive fan attention into measurable commercial output: content automation reduced the cost and turnaround time of highlight production; a content distribution platform enabled the league to push footage and branded assets directly to clubs, athletes and sponsors; AI-powered analytics tracked how content travelled across the global social media landscape, giving sponsors precise data on what their investment generated.

 

The results arrived faster than the league’s own targets. LVF had set a goal of reaching one billion views across the full season. It surpassed that figure during the regular season alone, months ahead of schedule.

 

The Coppa Italia Final 4 illustrated what that infrastructure makes possible in practice. The event drew more than 25,000 spectators, a record for a volleyball event in Italy, supported by 38 days of pre-event social content and six embedded content creators. It was built as entertainment, not just sport.

 

The Indian parallel

India’s women’s sport landscape shares the structural characteristics that defined LVF before Gameday’s involvement: genuine sporting quality, real audience interest and commercial infrastructure that hasn’t kept pace with either.

 

The Women’s Premier League offered a glimpse of what price discovery looks like when it arrives quickly. The inaugural season’s media rights valuation surprised most observers. Franchise prices followed. The entry window for low-cost exposure to Indian women’s cricket closed faster than anyone expected.

 

Other women’s sports are earlier on the same curve. Women’s kabaddi, volleyball and football each have growing audiences, committed athletes and leagues that have not yet built the commercial infrastructure to monetise what they have. The sporting foundations are there. The gap between what these leagues are worth and what they’re earning is, in several cases, as wide as LVF’s was before 2024.

 

“The economic case for women’s sport has never been a values argument. It’s a pricing argument. You invest before price discovery has happened, before sponsorship rates catch up with audience size, before media rights reflect actual demand. In Italy, that window is closing. In India, across several sports, it’s still open.”

 

Why the model travels

The LVF transformation wasn’t dependent on Italian volleyball having unique characteristics. It was dependent on a gap between product quality and commercial capture, and on the existence of an audience that was reachable through modern digital channels.

 

India’s women’s sport market has both. What it additionally has is scale that Italy can’t match: the world’s largest young population, mobile-first consumption as the overwhelming default and a creator economy of enormous reach.

 

New leagues in India also have a structural advantage that LVF didn’t: they can be designed correctly from the outset. Mobile-first fan engagement, creator partnerships and direct-to-consumer access as the architecture from day one, rather than retrofitted onto legacy broadcast structures built for a different era.

 

The LVF numbers are a proof of concept. The question for India’s women’s sport is not whether the model works. It’s which leagues move first.

 

About Gameday by NJF Holdings

Gameday by NJF Holdings is a sports investment and strategic platform founded by Nicole Junkermann. Focused on building long-term value across leagues, media and sports technology, its approach centres on structural growth, digital transformation and scalable fan ecosystems.

 

The platform is the largest shareholder in Italy’s professional women’s volleyball league, Lega Volley Femminile (LVF), where it is supporting league-level commercial and digital development. Gameday is also the creator of CayoTV, a next-generation sports media platform designed to expand access, engagement and modern distribution for live sport audiences.

International Design Firms Drive Demand for High-End Housing Projects in NCR

The subtle shift in India’s luxury real estate market is no longer about the size of the bedroom. It is about who designed the lobby. In the National Capital Region (NCR), where a slowing volume of sales has paradoxically pushed values higher, developers are quietly retiring the old playbook of marble flooring and replacing it with something more intangible: global architectural credibility.

 

International Design Firms Drive Demand for High-End Housing Projects in NCR


According to data from Anarock, while housing sales volumes stagnated, the total sales value in NCR breached Rs. 1.53 lakh crore in 2024, driven by a 23% price rise, the highest in India. Within this pressure cooker of high prices and discerning High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs), international design firms have become the new status symbols.


Yet for all the talk of Dubai-inspired facades and Manhattan lobbies, the real bottleneck has always been the back end. A luxurious design is only as good as the execution on the ground, and that is where a different kind of global collaboration is quietly taking shape. Market leaders are among the first to take note.


Gaurs Group, after revolutionising luxury housing, is re-engineering its construction methodology to meet these new expectations. The group recently signed a strategic MoU with Finland’s Elematic Group to produce modular bathroom and kitchen pods, while simultaneously bringing in Seaform Germany, a European manufacturer with automated facilities in Lohne and Burg, to design and deliver precision-engineered modular kitchens and wardrobe systems for projects such as The Islands by Gaurs and Trecento Residences by Gaurs.


One cannot achieve the precision required by modern international design with conventional on-site casting. With construction technology becoming increasingly important as the scale and complexity of residential developments grow, our investment in precast technology is not just about speed but also about delivering a global finish. Our partnership with Elematic and Seaform Germany covers everything from structural pods to kitchen joinery and enables us to integrate world-class manufacturing into our processes, improving efficiency, quality control and project timelines,” said Manoj Gaur, CMD, Gaurs Group.


At CRC Group’s upcoming ultra-luxury project, The Peridona, the marketing pitch hinges less on square footage and more on a specific pedigree. As a result, CRC has assembled a consortium that includes Killa Design, the architects behind Dubai’s Museum of the Future, alongside New York’s Rockwell Group and global project managers MACE.


Today’s buyer has already seen the best hotels in the world. They don’t want a replica; they want an original language that signals permanence. Bringing in firms like Rockwell or Gensler isn’t just about aesthetics, it is a guarantee of execution quality and future liquidity. It tells the buyer that this asset will hold its value when the market turns,” said Salil Kumar, Director-Marketing and Business Management, CRC Group.


Similarly, MRG Group has partnered with renowned architect Hafeez Contractor for its premium residential project, MRG Crown, located along the Dwarka Expressway in Gurugram. The collaboration reflects the growing focus among developers on creating architecturally distinguished projects that align with evolving luxury housing aspirations in NCR.


Today’s luxury homebuyer is increasingly drawn towards projects that carry a strong architectural identity and a globally inspired design approach. Collaborating with acclaimed architects helps create developments that are not only aesthetically refined, but also more functional, timeless and aspirational in nature. The involvement of internationally recognised design talent adds a layer of credibility and distinction to a project, while also enhancing the overall lifestyle experience for residents. As buyer expectations continue to evolve, design excellence is becoming one of the biggest differentiators in the luxury housing segment,” said Rajjath Goel, Managing Director, MRG Group.


This reliance on imported expertise signals a maturation of the NCR buyer. The era of “bespoke” Indian design clashing with Western finishes is giving way to a more seamless, hospitality-led approach. Nimbus Realty, for instance, has eschewed the standard flashy clubhouse model for its Noida project, The Arista Luxe. By roping in architect Zafar Masud Chaudhary, known for a human-centric, quiet luxury, Nimbus is betting on atmosphere over opulence.


The conversation has shifted from ‘how large is the drawing room’ to ‘how does the light move through it’. We are moving away from ornamentation that yells to design that breathes. If a space doesn’t feel instinctive or emotionally resonant, it doesn’t matter if it’s a thousand yards. That is the standard international firms are forcing us to meet,” said Yamini Agarwal, Director (Marketing & Communications), Nimbus Group.


For the longest time, Gurugram cornered the conversation on luxury, its gleaming high-rises and branded residences snatching most of the headlines in NCR. JLL data from early 2025 had the city accounting for 91% of the region’s high-end transactions, a near-monopoly that felt unshakable. But the ground is shifting beneath that narrative, and along with other regions growing to prominence, Noida is writing its own story and offering a steady pipeline of design-led inventory.

Campus Activewear Unveils a New Identity in a Major Brand Evolution Focused on Individuality, Movement and Culture

Campus Activewear Ltd. – one of India’s largest Sports and Athleisure brands – unveiled its new brand identity at its Annual Distributors’ Meet- Shoecase 2026. More than a visual refresh, this heralds a pivotal moment in the Company’s growth journey. The unveiling signals Campus’ evolution into a more culture-led, future-facing brand that resonates with a generation that is defining its own direction driven by individuality, movement and self-expression.

 

Campus Activewear unveiled its new brand identity and logo at Shoecase 2026, with Gautam Gambhir joining the brand during the launch

 

At the heart of the identity shift are three outward arrows and lines that symbolise multidirectional paths, choices and possibilities, reinforcing the belief that there is no singular route to growth or self-expression. As a visual identity of Move Your Way philosophy, the refreshed identity reimagines the freedom of movement as a reflection of personal ambition, culture and individuality. Designed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in the Indian youth ethos, the new brand identity represents a generation that values authenticity and the freedom to shape its own journey. This further represents Campus’ progression towards a broader culture-led identity that brings together fashion, sport and everyday lifestyle while building stronger emotional relevance with consumers.

 

The new identity was unveiled at Campus’ Annual Distributors’ Meet- Shoecase 2026, which brought together more than 300+ number of distributor-partners from across India for a three-day event representing growth and shared ambition. As one of the Company’s largest partner engagement platforms, the event reflected Campus’ continued commitment to strengthen its nationwide distributor network that has played a pivotal role in the brand’s journey over the past two decades. Former Indian batsman and current coach of Indian men’s cricket team Shri Gautam Gambhir graced the event as the Chief Guest, sharing his views and engaging with the attendees.

 

Speaking at the launch, Nikhil Aggarwal, Whole Time Director and CEO, Campus Activewear, said, “As we evolve, this marks an important step in the next phase of our journey as a brand. It reflects a generation that values individuality, draws inspiration from culture and continues to move, explore and define success in its own way. With our new identity, we are placing the individual at the centre of this journey while strengthening Campus’ focus on building a brand that stays closely connected to the ambitions, choices and everyday movement of today’s consumers.

 

Held from 16 to 18 May, the three-day event brought together distributors, influencers and key company stakeholders on a single platform to experience the brand’s next phase of growth. The event featured leadership interactions, panel discussion with Gautam Gambhir, large-scale distributor showcases, product experiences, a fashion presentation, a gala evening and an influencer-led engagement hosted by Suhana Sethi.

 

Sharing his thoughts, Shri Gautam Gambhir said, “Sport has always taught me that success is not about following a single path, but about staying committed to your purpose and pushing forward no matter how the journey changes. What stands out about Campus is how it understands this spirit of movement and individuality. A brand that reflects the mindset of today’s youth, where expression, ambition and everyday performance all come together. This evolution is not just about a new identity, but about staying connected to a generation that is constantly evolving.”

 

The unveiling comes at an important phase in Campus’ brand journey as the Company continues to strengthen its position within India’s fast-evolving athleisure and lifestyle market.

Planning to Buy Your Dream Home: Check These Luxury Projects on Noida Expressway

Over the last few years, the Noida Expressway has evolved far beyond a high-connectivity corridor into one of NCR’s most aspirational luxury housing destinations. Improved infrastructure, seamless access to Delhi and Greater Noida, the Noida International Airport, and expanding metro connectivity have significantly strengthened buyer confidence in the region. At the same time, homebuyers are increasingly prioritising larger residences, open green spaces, wellness-driven amenities, and low-density communities that offer privacy and a more elevated lifestyle experience.
