Commenting on Malaysia’s participation, Datuk Manoharan Periasamy said that SATTE serves as a strategic platform to strengthen engagement with key Indian travel trade partners while enhancing Malaysia’s visibility as a preferred travel destination.

In line with evolving market trends, Tourism Malaysia is placing strong emphasis on the MICE and wedding segments, positioning Malaysia as a premier destination for corporate events and grand Indian weddings. To support this strategic focus, Tourism Malaysia is organising two dedicated programmes in conjunction with SATTE 2026, a MICE Seminar and a Wedding Seminar. These sessions are designed to engage corporate stakeholders and Indian wedding planners by showcasing Malaysia’s world-class venues, seamless connectivity, rich cultural diversity and competitive value offerings.

Reflecting the positive momentum of this market, Malaysia recorded its highest achievement in Indian visitor arrivals in 2025, welcoming 1.6 million visitors. This marks a 14.6 per cent increase compared to the previous year. Coupled with strong air connectivity of more than 240 flights per week between India and Malaysia, Tourism Malaysia is now focused on further accelerating this upward trend during the ongoing Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign. Building on this encouraging performance, Tourism Malaysia’s participation at SATTE 2026 follows its recent impactful presence at Outbound Travel Mart (OTM) Mumbai, as well as a subsequent Sales Mission to Visakhapatnam, Coimbatore and Bangalore from 5 to 14 February 2026. These initiatives have further strengthened Malaysia’s visibility and engagement across key Indian cities.

As part of its forward-looking strategy, Tourism Malaysia’s continued presence at SATTE underscores a long-term commitment to unlocking the vast potential of the Indian market, particularly in North India. In conjunction with the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign, Tourism Malaysia is actively promoting a comprehensive Calendar of Events featuring more than 300 festivals and activities nationwide. This extensive programme provides valuable opportunities for travel partners to develop distinctive, curated packages tailored to a wide range of traveller interests. These offerings span a diverse spectrum, from luxury retreats and island holidays to cultural immersions, theme park experiences and bespoke wedding celebrations.

Overall, this sustained engagement in India reflects Tourism Malaysia’s proactive approach to strengthening networking between Malaysian industry players and Indian partners, expanding business opportunities and driving continued growth in Indian visitor arrivals throughout the VM2026 campaign.

As India’s EV transition gains traction, VinFast’s exchange programme is replacing ageing petrol cars with locally-assembled VF 6 and VF 7 SUVs backed by charging and service support.

VinFast’s exchange programme is replacing ageing petrol cars with locally-assembled VF 6 and VF 7 SUVs backed by charging and service support

India’s electric transition is no longer a policy ambition tucked inside conference halls. It is visible in state budgets, in urban pilot projects, in the growing lines outside charging stations along new expressways. From Delhi to Chennai, transport is becoming the testing ground for how quickly the country can reduce oil dependence while expanding mobility for a rising middle class.

Automakers have taken note. The conversation is shifting from horsepower to a quieter contest over range, charging speed and real-world usability.

Into this landscape, VinFast has moved with unusual speed for a relatively new entrant. In just over a year, it has established local assembly in Tamil Nadu, rolled out the VF 6 and VF 7 for Indian customers, and built partnerships that extend beyond the showroom floor. It has also begun rethinking how it speaks to drivers, focusing on practicality and ease of use.

The most direct way to accelerate change is to meet drivers where they are: behind the wheel of petrol vehicles. VinFast’s newly-launched exchange programme does exactly that. Owners of internal combustion cars are invited to trade in their vehicles and upgrade to a new VF 6 or VF 7, receiving special cash support alongside financing options arranged with partner banks.

The idea is that by placing immediate financial value on the old car, VinFast lowers the psychological and economic barrier to EV entry, turning a sentimental goodbye into a financial calculation, a switch from fuel to the future.

The offer includes exchange bonuses and structured payment plans designed to narrow the upfront gap between petrol and electric ownership. Buyers stepping into a VF 6 or VF 7 receive not only the vehicle, but also access to fast charging capability, advanced driver assistance systems and connected features that are standard across the range.

The VF 6, for instance, offers up to 468 kilometres of range under MIDC testing, a 59.6 kWh battery and DC fast charging from 10 to 70 percent in roughly 25 minutes. The VF 7 pairs that with higher output variants and a similarly robust safety package. Both models have earned five-star safety ratings under Bharat NCAP, a detail that matters in a market increasingly attentive to crash standards.

The exchange program is a move VinFast borrows from its playbook in Vietnam, where such events often drew thousands of participants in a single day, with hundreds of vehicles traded on site. Part auto show, part community event, the gatherings had a simple effect: one petrol car out, one electric vehicle in. The spectacle served a practical function, reducing tailpipe emissions while expanding the visible presence of EVs on city roads.

“Some people arrived curious,” recalled one sales manager involved in earlier events. “They left with a brand new EV after a test drive and a closer look at the numbers. Once they saw the monthly cost difference, the charging convenience and our aftersales commitments, the decision felt like a natural next step.”

Aftersales as Assurance

Electric vehicles are not sustained by vehicles alone. They require charging points, service bays and roadside assistance that function as reliably as the cars themselves. Without these, early enthusiasm can erode into frustration.

In India, VinFast has invested heavily in building that scaffolding, signing agreements with dealer groups across dozens of cities and partnering with service providers to establish a network of workshops designed to handle EV specific repairs. Charging infrastructure is being expanded in collaboration with strategic partner V-Green and fuel retail partners, leveraging existing petrol station networks to host fast chargers.

There are financial assurances as well. Industry-leading warranty of up to 10 years, free charging periods and complimentary maintenance packages are structured to ease the first years of ownership, when questions are most frequent and habits are still forming. With these facets of ownership addressed, a driver considering an exchange does not have to map every charger before setting out, nor wonder where to turn if a warning light appears.

“I went with VinFast because I felt I was not being asked to take a leap of faith just to go green,” said a recent VF 7 owner in Tamil Nadu. “The ecosystem was already there.”

India’s green transition is still in motion. Yet each exchanged key, each new charging station, each locally assembled battery pack adds weight to the shift.

For VinFast, the approach is cumulative. Remove one petrol car. Add one electric SUV. Support it with service, charging and financing. Repeat, steadily and without theatrics, until the electric option feels like the obvious choice.

About VinFast

VinFast (NASDAQ: VFS), a subsidiary of Vingroup JSC, one of Vietnam’s largest conglomerates, is a pure-play electric vehicle manufacturer with the mission of making EVs accessible to everyone. VinFast’s product lineup includes a wide range of electric SUVs, e-scooters, and e-buses. The company is rapidly expanding its global distribution network and manufacturing capabilities with facilities in Vietnam, India, and planned operations in the United States.

The company’s Thoothukudi facility in Tamil Nadu represents a $500 million investment and will produce 150,000 vehicles annually when fully operational, creating approximately 3,500 direct jobs.

As India’s snacking culture evolves from indulgent to intentional, California Pistachios is marking World Pistachio Day by spotlighting pistachios as a fun and accessible solution for incorporating more protein into modern Indian lifestyles. Once primarily used as a premium ingredient in traditional recipes, pistachios have transitioned into a mainstream snack in India driven by growing consumer awareness around nutrition and functional foods.
 

California Pistachios

Recent global and Indian insights reinforce this shift. According to NielsenIQ’s 2025 report Snacking Habits: From Mindless to Mindful, “smart snacking” is growing 1.2 times faster than traditional snack formats, with one in five snack purchases now carrying a health association. Complementing this, Innova Market Insights’ Snack Trends 2025 highlights that taste remains the top driver of snack selection and that texture plays a role in snack satisfaction, positioning pistachios perfectly at the intersection of flavour, crunch and nutrition.
 

In India, the case for seeking protein when snacking is even more compelling. A 2026 LocalCircles & Country Delight survey revealed that 60% of urban Indians do not consume protein-rich foods daily. At the same time, 71% of respondents indicated willingness to switch to affordable protein alternatives. With six grams of plant protein per 28-gram serving, California Pistachios offer an accessible, convenient and natural way to bridge this protein gap without requiring drastic dietary changes.
 

Industry data from India Brand Equity Foundation further notes that, “India is witnessing a nutrition-driven move, with protein supplements becoming a key component in preventive health and wellness.” The study shares how protein consumption is no longer confined to sports nutrition and is increasingly integrated into everyday foods as consumers seek functional benefits. Supporting this, Packaging Corporation of America’s 2025 snacking insights report that 63% of consumers select snacks based on flavour, while 55% consider protein the most important driver for a healthy snack, demonstrating that today’s Indian consumer expects snacks to deliver both taste and nutritional value which are core characteristics of California Pistachios.
 

This World Pistachio Day, California Pistachio’ aims to simplify the protein conversation according to consumer snacking trends. Commenting on the occasion, Shail Pancholi, Country Director, California Pistachios, said, “India’s snacking habits are clearly becoming more mindful, yet awareness around daily protein intake still remains limited. World Pistachio Day is an opportunity to remind consumers that improving nutrition does not have to be complicated. A handful of pistachios offers protein, satisfying crunch and great taste in one simple choice. Choosing to eat pistachios can be a practical, everyday decisions that fit seamlessly into our lives while supporting a balanced diet.”
 

As Indian consumers increasingly seek snacks that combine flavour, functionality and convenience, California Pistachios stands positioned as a solution—proving that mindful snacking can be both delicious and effortless.

IIRIS Consulting Pvt Ltd today announced the official launch of IntelliTracker, a purpose-built monitoring platform designed to help banks and financial institutions manage fraud-related and law enforcement case lifecycles with structured visibility and RBI FMR 1-4-aligned reporting readiness. The product was recently showcased at the India AI Impact Expo 2026, drawing strong interest from industry stakeholders.
 

IIRIS Launches IntelliTracker
 

Commenting on the launch, Dr. Vikram Singh, Advisory Leader at IIRIS, Former DGP of Uttar Pradesh, and a National Security Expert, said, “Fraud cases often move through complex, multi-layered law enforcement processes that require disciplined tracking and coordination. Institutions need structured visibility into these movements to ensure accountability and regulatory confidence. IntelliTracker brings much-needed digitisation and monitoring discipline to this interface between banks and enforcement agencies.”
 

IntelliTracker envisions addressing the structural visibility gap by digitising case monitoring across the full lifecycle, from complaint registration to investigation tracking, court proceedings, and case closure. The platform aims to provide structured categorisation, continuous status tracking, and RBI-aligned documentation to support informed decision-making and regulatory compliance.

Mr Garry Singh, President, IIRIS, stated, “IntelliTracker is a masterpiece that will not only act as a great tool for monitoring and analysis, but also will aid higher efficacy in compliance and closure of cases; thus making business more robust.”

Banks today manage thousands of fraud complaints registered across multiple jurisdictions. Case updates are often fragmented across portals, departments, and physical follow-ups. Monitoring tends to be periodic rather than continuous, while regulatory reporting remains manual and reactive. The absence of a unified, current view increases operational strain and compliance exposure.

IntelliTracker addresses this gap through

• End-to-end lifecycle monitoring from complaint registration to closure readiness

• Structured case categorisation and prioritisation

• Continuous status validation across jurisdictions

• Digitised documentation and audit trails

• Role-based dashboards for operations, compliance, and leadership

• RBI FMR 1-4-aligned report generation with timeline awareness (7/15/30/90-day requirements)

IntelliTracker does not replace legal authority or enforcement processes. Instead, it enables structured monitoring, data-backed visibility, and reporting readiness, ensuring that final review remains fully under the bank’s control. The platform is now available for institutional deployment. The platform is designed to provide banks with a unified, real-time view of police-registered fraud cases while maintaining full institutional control over decision-making and enforcement actions.
