For some purists number of cylinders more important than number of kilowatts 😃
Is electrification the new benchmark of luxury? Not yet, says Santosh Iyer.
The @MercedesBenzInd MD & CEO says the verdict is still out: customers love cylinders as much as batteries, and the brand's job is to offer both. #IndiaEVConclave

Nearly one year with this beauty and just like day one, you don’t feel like coming out of the cabin.
Unbeatable under 60L in 2026 too

MahaAshtami greetings to all but with a somber touch. At least 19 people are now dead and several injured in Kolkata Pujo Pandal stampede. Narrow entrances, surging crowds, untimely rain, ambulances taking time to reach the site, organisers with less experience but political clout caught napping: a recipe for chaos. True Shardhanjali to victims is to fix accountability and learn the lessons to ensure this never happens again. Thoughts and prayers on this day with all victims and grieving families 🙏🙏🙏

Lovely trip with @EconomicTimes colleagues to @MercedesBenzInd Chakan plant. Got to see the beautiful machines getting made in state of the art facilities, and a day peppered with insights on luxury, consumer, marketing and product from bossman @santiyer, a fine combination of passion and expertise; ops head Vyankatesh Kulkarni, sales and marketing head Brendon Sissing, and others.

Given India is now in the top 5 markets globally for Mercedes-Maybach, seeing the portfolio widen is no longer surprising. Today it’s the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class plug-in hybrid that arrives. With up to 100 kms of electric range and luxurious opulence of course. SVP

The first Mercedes I ever rode in as a child? A 1985 W123 in 681 Weizengelb (Wheat Yellow). Now, I got to drive one.
Some childhood memories don’t fade. They just come with keys. 💛✨

Great idea by @MercedesBenzInd
to put together a Studio, at Horizon Centre in Golf Course Road, #Gurgaon to showcase its high end AMG range.
It's the perfect catchment area with a bunch of top MNCs, besides the Camellias, right behind.
And, the desserts come highly recommended!

Can’t afford a Merc? Lots of merch to choose from then in the Mercedes-Benz studio in Gurugram. Merchandise becoming a solid revenue stream for the brand with sales of Rs 100 crore per year.
Shekhar Das Chowdhury retweeted
India’s first Mercedes-Benz studio opened at Horizon Centre, Gurugram. It’s not a showroom but a lounge where you can chill, eat pastries (topped with 3 pointers) and if you feeling rich buy an AMG e-bike for Rs 4.2 - 7.6 lakh!
