India’s love affair with sport utility vehicles is one of the most documented stories in the country’s automotive industry. The Cars24 and Team BHP Gears of Growth 2025 report confirms that this shift has reached the used car market as well, with SUV share climbing from 15 percent in 2023 to 32 percent in 2025. And yet, when it comes to the top 10 most-bought used cars in India, only one SUV makes the cut. The Hyundai Creta, ranked ninth with a 2.05 percent share, stands alone.   Cars24 x Team BHP Gears of Growth 2025 Report   The report frames this as one of the more interesting tensions in India’s used car market in 2025. As it notes, compact SUVs are gaining ground but remain a secondary choice, with Creta at number nine reflecting growing aspiration without yet challenging hatchback dominance.   The hatchback wall the Creta is up against To understand why only one SUV has cracked the top 10, it helps to look at what is occupying the rest of it. The Gears of Growth 2025 report lists Maruti Swift at the top with a 4.93 percent share, followed by Wagon R at 3.47 percent and Hyundai i10 at 3.46 percent. Honda City sits at fourth, Swift Dzire at fifth, Baleno at sixth, Grand i10 at seventh and Elite i20 at eighth. After Creta at ninth, the Renault Kwid closes the list at tenth.   Seven of the top 10 are hatchbacks. Two are sedans. Just one is an SUV. The report describes hatchbacks as the backbone of India’s used car market, with the Swift, Wagon R and i10 leading the charts thanks to their reliability, practicality and low running costs. These are the qualities that translate most directly into used car demand, and they sit at the heart of why the SUV revolution has been slower to flow into resale than into new car sales.   Why Creta is the SUV that broke through The Creta’s presence in the top 10 is not accidental. The Gears of Growth 2025 report places the Creta on a second, more selective list as well: the country’s premium used car set. According to the report, premium used car demand is led by models such as Creta, City, Nexon and Elite i20, indicating a strong appetite for feature-rich vehicles.   This dual presence, both in the volume top 10 and in the premium list, makes the Creta something of a category translator. It is the SUV that has crossed over from aspiration to actual transaction volume. The report attributes this kind of premium pull to feature depth, safety credentials and brand trust emerging as key decision drivers in premium used car purchases. The Creta, having been one of India’s most-bought new SUVs for years, naturally has the scale and brand equity to dominate this corner of the used market.   The aspiration gap, and what it tells us The interesting question the Gears of Growth 2025 report surfaces is why other SUVs have not joined Creta in the top 10. Body type data shows that SUVs have moved from 15 percent share in 2023 to 19 percent in 2024 and 32 percent in 2025, a near-doubling in two years. Sedans, over the same period, have collapsed from 28 percent to 16 percent. The shift is real and rapid. But it is not yet translating into a multi-SUV presence at the top of the model rankings.   Part of the answer lies in the way used car markets work. New cars become used cars only after a few years of ownership, and the recent SUV boom in India is still working its way through the resale cycle. The report flags this directly in its analysis of average selling prices, noting that one of the factors pushing ASP upward is the supply constraints in newer vehicles, with limited availability of lightly-used, recent model-year cars. SUV demand, in other words, is running ahead of SUV supply in the used car market.   What this means for the Indian auto industry The Creta’s position as the sole SUV in India’s top 10 used cars list is a useful corrective to the assumption that the SUV wave has comprehensively rewritten Indian car buying. Hatchbacks still account for 52 percent of total volume. Sedans hold 16 percent. SUVs, despite their headline growth, are at 32 percent in aggregate but represented by only one model at the top of the rankings.   This points to two parallel realities. The first is that aspiration in India’s used car market is moving quickly, and SUVs are likely to occupy more slots in the top 10 in the years ahead as today’s new SUVs become tomorrow’s used cars. The second is that the practical, value-driven hatchback remains the structural foundation of the market. The Gears of Growth 2025 report captures the moment when both realities sit in clear, measurable balance. For now, the Creta stands as the bridge between these two worlds, the one SUV that has crossed over into the volume top 10.

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.   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.   © 2026 Vyshlo. All content, trademarks, and brand assets are the exclusive property of Vyshlo.

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.   For more information, visit gameday.team.

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.   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.
