TVS Orbiter Electric Scooter Trademarked Overseas, Will It Come To India?
TVS is planning to launch an all-new electric scooter in the global market. Recently, the two-wheeler manufacturer has filed a patent application for its upcoming entry-level 'Orbiter' electric scooter in Indonesia. Also, the name was earlier trademarked in India as well. Reports suggest that this electric scooter will be positioned below the TVS iQube, currently available in the Indian market.
TVS currently offers the iQube with three variants available in the market- the iQube, iQube S, and iQube ST. It has two battery pack options, that is, a 2.2 kWh and a 3.5 kWh battery pack. The smaller battery pack is claimed to deliver 94 km of range and takes 2 hr 45 minutes to charge from 0 percent to 80 percent. The 3.5 kWh battery pack option is claimed to give 145 km of range and can charge from 0-80 percent in 4 hr 30 minutes.
TVS Orbiter trademarked in Indonesia
Though not much has been revealed about the TVS Orbiter, we know that the brand is likely to place it below the iQube electric scooter. Hence, it is expected to come up with a smaller battery pack option (could add a 3.5 kWh battery later). Also, the prices of the TVS iQube start from around Rs 95,000, and the Orbiter is expected to be priced at a much more affordable rate than the iQube.
The trademark documents suggest that TVS has taken the Orbiter name for its electric scooter. The exact name will only be finalized as the launch gets closer. Previous reports also suggest that the Indian two-wheeler major has also filed a trademark for 'EV-one' and 'O'.
Since the Orbiter nameplate has been recently trademarked, the brand has not specified any much details about its upcoming offerings. However, the new electric scooter is likely to be launched by the festival season.

A video of a Pakistani lawmaker praising the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has gone viral on social media.

Social‑media users in India circulated the clip, calling it a public endorsement of Chief Minister Adityanath's fiscal approach. Inside Pakistan, the statement prompted questions about how federal resources are allocated.

How OmniCard is Powering India's $5 Trillion Business Economy with a Fintech OS Built for Scale
VMPL New Delhi [India], June 18: India is standing at the edge of a transformational economic leap. India's retail sector is projected to reach a massive US$ 2 trillion in value by 2032, and the number of startups is expected to double to 2.4 lakh by 2030. But these projections rest on a fragile foundation. Out of the 64 million businesses in India, only 4 million are digitized - leaving 60 million enterprises operating without basic digital tools. Every Indian business loses money not because of fraud or theft, but because of broken systems. Over the past few years, OmniCard has been shaping the Fintech backbone that's now helping Indian businesses thrive. OmniCard is bridging India's digital divide with a user-friendly, digital-first platform designed for seamless adoption -- from shop floors to CXO suites, across tier-1 metros to tier-3 towns. Trusted by enterprises, OmniCard is emerging as the AI powered Fintech OS for business spend -- powering every layer of the value chain - expense management, petty cash, incentives, travel, R & R - all with last-mile payment visibility. Today, over 500 forward-thinking enterprises trust OmniCard to run their business spend--across industries like retail, logistics, education, financial services, and digital marketplaces. With an RBI-issued PPI license, OmniCard operates independently of banks while adhering to the highest regulatory standards. By connecting every touchpoint in the spend journey with intelligence and efficiency, OmniCard is redefining how enterprises manage and move money. This value generation is already being seen on the ground. For German-headquartered sports brand PUMA, its India counterpart is efficiently managing and optimizing expenses across its extensive retail network in the country with partner OmniCard. Siddarth Asrani, CFO at PUMA India, says, "Managing expenses across our retail network used to involve multiple tools and constant follow-ups. With OmniCard, our store teams now have access to controlled budgets, and we get real-time visibility at our India headquarters. What stands out is the platform's ease of use which doesn't require detailed training. For a fast-paced retail business like ours, OmniCard is becoming a key player in our ops." Whereas Mr. Ashutosh Mishra Senior Vice President Finance from Policybazaar, a public listed Insurance marketplace says "As a high-growth digital organization, we manage multiple categories of corporate spending - from employee benefits and team travel to marketing and operational costs. Before OmniCard, consolidating and reconciling these expenses was time-consuming and often reactive. With OmniCard, we now have centralized visibility and control across departments, enabling us to stay ahead of spend rather than catch up to it." Mr. Gagan Garg, Finance Controller at India's largest gifting and corporate retail brand, Ferns N Petals, says "For us, managing retail spends and company expenses across a growing business network required an end-to-end solution. OmniCard delivered exactly the same. It gives us the ability to assign budgets to teams, enable UPI payments, issue cards instantly, and track spending in real-time. It has significantly improved visibility and efficiency in how we manage business expenses--both in-store and at the office. For a business of our scale, having this level of control without added administrative burden is a big win." "India's economic future depends not just on scale, but on how efficiently its businesses operate" says Abhishek Saxena from OmniCard "We're driving the next wave of business payments in India with need-based innovation, delivered through a go-to platform for business expense management. We're building the rails for intelligent business spending in India, combining banking-grade infrastructure with the agility of Fintech. Our goal is to be the obvious choice for B2B Fintech in India. When any business thinks Fintech, we want them to think OmniCard." India's growth story is gaining momentum, but true progress demands intelligent systems. Built for scale and inclusivity, The OmniCard AI powered Fintech OS is purpose-built to serve businesses of all sizes--adapting to their unique needs, scale, and workflows. Whether it's a startup managing team expenses or an enterprise optimizing multi-location spend, OmniCard offers the flexibility and AI intelligence to power their financial operations end-to-end. As India builds toward a $5 trillion economy and millions of businesses move toward digitization, AI powered Fintech OS platforms like OmniCard will play a critical role in shaping how the country's enterprises manage money.

Positive momentum expected following reset in India-Canada ties: Experts
Kananaskis, Canada: Those engaged in the India-Canada corridor are hopeful that another inflection point has been arrived at, a positive one this time after a productive bilateral meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Canadian counterpart and host Mark Carney on Tuesday on the margins of the G7 leaders' summit in Kananaskis. 'India and Canada have following a pragmatic script this year towards normalising the broken political relationship. On the margins of the G7 Summit, the two PMs pressed the reset button, in essence allowing robust economic ties to drive the political ones,' Ajay Bisaria, former Indian High Commissioner to Ottawa felt. Among the issues addressed was filling the vacant posts of High Commissioners in the two capitals and Bisaria said that 'should enable a step-by-step move towards stabilisation of ties and then perhaps building back a better strategic partnership, guided by economic and geopolitical interests and future- proofed against security shocks'. Also enthusiastic about the positivity flowing from the meeting was Goldy Hyder, president and CEO of the Business Council of Canada. He said, 'It's a very good day. Exactly the right steps to reset and restore constructive bilateral relations.' Vina Nadjibulla, vice-president research and strategy at the Asia-Pacific Foundation of Canada, said, 'Good to have a clear signal from the two leaders to reset the relationship and deepen cooperation at a time when both countries are hoping to diversify economic and strategic partnerships.' She said the meeting and its outcome represented 'a significant moment' which sets the stage for follow up action at the level of officials and ministers. She described it as 'positive on substance and symbolism', marking 'remarkable progress' that 'would have been hard to imagine even a few months ago.' Ritesh Malik, chair of the Canada-India Foundation also welcomed the outcome, as he said 'this could be the big reset moment on many important unresolved issues'. 'Commitment to mutual respect, territorial integrity and sovereignty is just the foundation on which this relationship can only grow leaps and bounds,' he added.
