New Delhi [India], June 27: AUTO PULSE 2025, hosted by Vikas Trade Links (P) Ltd., brought the automotive aftermarket industry together for a high-impact, first-of-its-kind event that welcomed over 1,000 attendees and clocked 639 counter visits. Marked by energy, collaboration, and transparency, the event reaffirmed Vikas Trade Links' trusted position in the industry and introduced its bold step into e-commerce with the launch of VTL World.
Held at the company's Bangalore premises, AUTO PULSE 2025 was not just an exhibition--it was a milestone gathering that showcased the full spectrum of brands and products available through Vikas Trade Links. From hands-on product displays to powerful one-on-one discussions, the event was designed to bring every stakeholder closer to the heart of the business.
"AUTO PULSE 2025 was more than just an exhibition--it was a reflection of the trust we've earned since 1988 and a platform to build stronger ties for the future. The response exceeded our expectations, and we're already looking forward to what's next." -- Aman Sancheti, Managing Director, Vikas Trade Links (P) Ltd.
Event Highlights
AUTO PULSE 2025 set a new precedent in the industry with its immersive and integrative event format. For the first time, a distributor in the Indian automotive sector organized a complete brand showcase under one roof, featuring dedicated stalls from leading partner brands. This allowed attendees, including workshop owners, mechanics, retail and wholesale distributors, and OES representatives, to directly engage with product lines, clarify offerings, and build meaningful connections.
The VTL World stall introduced guests to Vikas Trade Links' new e-commerce platform, a major development in the company's digital transformation journey. This move not only reflects the firm's adaptability in a tech-forward market but also strengthens its commitment to accessibility and customer convenience.
One of the standout features of the event was the presence and accessibility of the Vikas Trade Links leadership team. Customers had the unique opportunity to meet and converse directly with the company's core team, including key decision-makers and senior executives. This openness created an environment of mutual trust and positioned the company as a people-first business.
Building Relationships, Elevating Trust
The event received glowing feedback from attendees, who praised its organization, professionalism, and the clarity it brought to the brand and product landscape. The chance to connect directly with brand representatives and Vikas leadership enhanced transparency and reinforced long-standing partnerships.
"Events like this are rare in our industry. Vikas has set a new benchmark," noted an OES representative.
"Seeing such a vast range of brands under one roof was impressive--but what truly stood out was the openness and energy of the Vikas team. This event raised the bar for the entire industry," added a retail partner.
With participation from globally recognized Original Equipment Suppliers (OES), the event also highlighted the international reach of Vikas Trade Links, further cementing its reputation as a key player in the distribution landscape.
Looking Ahead
The success of AUTO PULSE 2025 has sparked enthusiasm for its next edition, with customers and supplier partners alike expressing eagerness for a continued tradition of in-depth engagement. As Vikas Trade Links embarks on its e-commerce journey with VTL World, the company reaffirms its commitment to innovation, partnership, and long-term growth in the automotive aftermarket sector.

Prada bows to massive online backlash! Italian brand forced to credit Kolhapuri chappal designs; legal options being mulled in India

The Kolhapuri chappals received GI designation on December 11, 2018. Prada, the Italian high-end fashion brand, has confirmed that their upcoming Spring Summer 2026 menswear line incorporated designs influenced by Kolhapuri chappals, addressing the controversy that caused significant displeasure in India and sparked discussions about cultural appropriation. The leather sandal with open toes presented by Prada shows striking similarities to the heritage leather footwear that artisans have crafted for generations in Maharashtra and Karnataka. The reaction comes following social media criticism and official pressure regarding the failure to credit Indian craftsmen and cultural legacy of the design at the Milan event. Responding to ET's enquiry, the organisation emphasised its dedication to celebrating artisanal expertise, legacy and design customs. The company reportedly said: "Prada acknowledges that sandals inspired by traditional Indian footwear made in specific districts in Maharashtra and Karnataka, India, were featured in its Men's 2026 Spring Summer show in Milan. We are committed to responsible design practices, fostering cultural engagement, and opening a dialogue for a meaningful exchange with local Indian artisan communities as we have done in the past in other collections to ensure the rightful recognition of their craft. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bring home all new SP125 & get an instant cashback up to ₹5000# Honda Learn More Undo We are in contact with the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry &Agriculture on this topic." Legal Action Against Prada? According to the financial daily's report, the Sant Rohidas Leather Industries & Charmakar Development Corporation (LIDCOM), which shares geographical indication (GI) certification for Kolhapuri chappals with Karnataka's LIDKAR, is considering legal measures. The Kolhapuri chappals received GI designation on December 11, 2018, including eight districts—four each in Maharashtra and Karnataka. The craft industry's substantial size contrasts with merely 95 artisans registered as authorised GI users. "There is a lack of awareness about what GI registration offers," noted an official from the state's industries department. Also Read | Pulse, the Re 1 candy, now a multi-crore revenue generator! How DS Group aims to make it a Rs 1,000 crore brand Although registered proprietors (LIDCOM and LIDKAR) and authorised users have legal rights to initiate proceedings within India's borders, GI marks currently lack international legal safeguards. Maharashtra's industry department has engaged in talks with LIDCOM, according to industry secretary P Anbalagan. A senior LIDCOM representative was quoted in the report as saying, "We are in the process of making some decisions, and legal recourse will certainly be involved." The official added, "Since the company is based in Italy, we are evaluating the legal options available in this situation. If required, LIDCOM will approach the appropriate channel through India's ministry of commerce." A Maharashtra government official said: "Prima facie, a vendor should not be using GI-registered name, logo, or invoicing product under GI identity". Legal specialists indicate that India's Geographical Indication regulations safeguard registered products from unauthorised commercial usage of their names or implied origins, but not from design imitation. IP lawyer Priyanka Khimani says that proprietors can enhance protection by securing trademark registration for their name/logo in foreign jurisdictions. Also Read | 'Biggest risk of my life': Mukesh Ambani says even if Reliance Jio would have failed, it would have been 'worth it'; told board 'in worst case…' "Borrowing the style without using the GI name in trade does not necessarily violate GI provisions," Khimani told ET. "Unless Prada markets or sells these sandals using the word 'Kolhapuri' or implies a link to Kolhapur's craftsmanship, there is no legal recourse." Nevertheless, Khimani highlighted the ethical considerations. "There is a responsibility on international fashion houses to acknowledge the cultural heritage they borrow from. It would be meaningful for both brands and artisans if there was transparent commercial collaboration and due credit." Organisations such as Nabard provide assistance in post-GI registration activities, including artisan enrolment and marketing seminars, whilst state-level implementation can facilitate these results. Khimani suggests that GI-registered proprietors could enhance their global protection by registering associated marks and names as trademarks internationally. For instance, the Tea Board has secured trademark/certification trademark registrations for marks related to 'Darjeeling Tea' in various nations.

Rapper 50 Cent slams Zohran Mamdani over tax plan: Will pay to send him out of New York

Rapper 50 Cent has taken a dig at New York Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani over his proposed plan to hike taxes on the wealthy, saying he'd rather pay the politician to leave the hip-hop star, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, lashed out on Instagram on Wednesday after Mamdani name-dropped him during a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, where the newly elected Democratic mayoral candidate spoke about taxing high earners. Mamdani is son of award-winning Indian-American filmmaker Mira did he come from? Whose friend is this? I'm not feeling this plan. No,' 50 Cent wrote in the post. 'I will give him $258,750 and a first class one-way ticket away from NY.' Mamdani, a 33-year-old politician who recently pulled off a surprise win against former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary, discussed his plan during the June 11 interview. Among his proposals: a 2% flat tax increase on New Yorkers earning $1 million or more annually.'I know if 50 Cent is listening, he's not going to be happy about this,' Mamdani quipped during the segment. 'He tends to not like this tax policy, but I want to be very clear - this is about $20,000 a year.'The remark clearly struck a nerve with the rapper, who is reportedly worth close to a billion dollars. In a follow-up jab, he wrote: 'I'm telling [President] Trump what he said too!' accompanied by a thinking-face broader platform includes increasing funding for public transportation, supporting small businesses, and what he described as efforts to 'Trump-proof' the isn't the first time 50 Cent has weighed in on politics. The rapper has previously spoken out against tax policies he sees as unfriendly to high earners.- EndsMust Watch
