enforcement, penalties and road safety risks in Singapore

SINGAPORE, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Geotab 
<https://www.geotab.com/apac/?utm_campaign=null_brand-awareness_sea_null&utm_content=press%20release&utm_medium=article&utm_source=internal&utm_term=jan_2026>
, a global leader in connected transportation, video and asset tracking 
solutions, today announced the launch of theGO Focus Plus 
<https://www.geotab.com/apac/go-focus-plus/>® AI dash cam and its new video 
intelligence platform in Singapore, expanding access to advanced AI video 
telematics designed to help fleets proactively reduce risk and improve driver 
safety.

The dual-facing dash cam delivers proactive, in-cab voice support that helps 
drivers self-correct risky behaviours such as distraction, fatigue or 
tailgating. In a recent large pilot, the voice coaching functionality helped 
reduce tailgating by 90% and mobile phone use by 95%. This system turns every 
alert into a coaching opportunity, aiming to prevent accidents and create a 
measurable impact on fleet safety culture.

The launch comes amid a sustained rise in speeding-related risk across 
Singapore's roads, with violations surging by 45.5% in just the first half of 
2025 and traffic police recording an average of hundreds of cases daily[1]. 
With higher penalties now in effect, unsafe driving behaviours such as speeding 
carry greater financial and operational consequences for fleet operators. 
Timely, in-the-moment guidance is increasingly paramount in this operating 
environment.

For commercial drivers operating under tight schedules in dense urban 
conditions, the margin for error has narrowed considerably. Congested 
expressways, busy arterial roads and long shifts heighten exposure to risky 
behaviours such as speeding, distraction, tailgating and fatigue – factors that 
continue to feature prominently in serious and fatal accidents. At the same 
time, fleet operators face growing expectations from regulators, insurers and 
the public to demonstrate proactive duty of care, beyond post-incident 
accountability.

"In Singapore, transport operators are navigating an increasingly unforgiving 
operating environment," saidEzanne Soh, Associate Vice President, Southeast 
Asia, Geotab. "Drivers are under constant operational strain, and the cost of 
getting safety wrong is higher than ever. This is accelerating a clear shift 
across the industry, from reacting to incidents after they occur to preventing 
risk in real time before it leads to harm."

The GO Focus Plus AI dash cam combines Geotab's connected vehicle insights 
with intelligent, in-cab coaching to give drivers instant support exactly when 
they need it. At the same time, it helps fleet managers focus their attention 
on the issues that matter most, reducing day-to-day oversight burden and 
enabling more effective intervention without the need for constant monitoring 
or manual review.

		<title>Haleon and Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Launch New Clinical Study on Women's Metabolic Health in Asia</title>
		<author></author>
		<pubDate>2026-08-11 11:41:00</pubDate>
		<description><![CDATA[
 * A new clinical study on the multivitamin and mineral supplement Centrum is 
designed to generate evidence on metabolic health in midlife Asian women - a 
group often underrepresented in global nutrition research. 
 * The study will contribute to a better understanding of preventive 
healthcare and healthy ageing in Asian populations. SINGAPORE, Aug. 11, 2026 
/PRNewswire/ --Haleon <https://www.haleon.com/>, a leading consumer health 
company focused on better everyday health, and the A*STAR Institute for Human 
Development and Potential (A*STAR IHDP <https://www.a-star.edu.sg/>) today 
announced the launch of a new clinical study known as theImpact of Multivitamin 
and Mineral Supplementation on Metabolic Health in Midlife Women (ISMOS). The 
study on Centrum will further establish the role of multivitamin and mineral 
(MVM) supplementation on metabolic health among middle-aged Asian women, who 
are often under-represented in global research.

This collaboration builds on an earlier study conducted by Haleon and A*STAR 
IHDP analysing data fromGrowing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes (GUSTO)
 <https://www.gusto.sg/>, one of Singapore's largest and most comprehensive 
birth cohort studies. The analysis found that midlife women with higher vitamin 
levels tended to have more favorable metabolic health markers, including lower 
blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure, as well as better mental 
well-being and mobility. These findings suggest that getting enough essential 
multi-vitamins may support women's overall health as they move through midlife.
[1]

Addressing the challenges of metabolic syndrome among mid-life Asian women

Metabolic health issues are an increasing concern globally and across Asia, 
driven by ageing populations, increasingly busy lifestyles and insufficient 
micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) through food. While women tend to live 
longer than men, data suggests that they also spend 25% more of their lives in 
poorer health[2].

Women in midlife experience unique physiological changes associated with 
menopausal transition, which may increase vulnerability to metabolic syndrome.
[3] Metabolic syndrome refers to a cluster of risk factors, such as higher 
blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and poorer blood sugar control. 
Metabolic syndrome significantly raises the risk of chronic medical conditions 
like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Supporting women's health during this life stage is critical not only for 
individual well-being, but also for families, communities and economies. The 
World Economic Forum has estimated that every US$1 invested in women's health 
can generate up to US$3 in economic returns through improved productivity and 
reduced healthcare costs[4].

"Our collaboration with A*STAR IHDP marks an important step in addressing the 
evolving health needs of midlife women across Asia, thus bringing our purpose 
to deliver better everyday health with humanity to life," saidKeith Choy, 
President of Asia Pacific, Haleon. "As more people are diagnosed with 
conditions linked to metabolic health, we are strengthening our focus on 
prevention and healthy ageing by further establishing the role of Centrum in 
supporting women through midlife."

Advancing evidence in women's metabolic health

"ISMOS is an important next step in strengthening evidence in a population 
that is often under-represented in global nutrition research," saidAlicia Ng, 
APAC & ISC R&D Lead, Haleon. "By building on insights from prior research, we 
are deepening our understanding of how Centrum, as a scientifically formulated 
multivitamin, supports key aspects of metabolic health in midlife women. This 
study allows us to translate scientific understanding into practical, 
accessible solutions that can help women better manage their health through 
this life stage."

"This collaboration reflects A*STAR's commitment to research that supports 
healthier lives and human potential in Singapore. Through the ISMOS study, we 
hope to generate locally and regionally relevant evidence on metabolic health 
in midlife Asian women, contributing to a better understanding of preventive 
health and healthier ageing in our population," saidProfessor Johan Eriksson, 
Executive Director of A*STAR IHDP.

The Haleon–A*STAR IHDP partnership reflects a shared ambition to bridge 
scientific research and practical health solutions, supporting preventive 
health approaches that empower individuals to take charge of their own health.

strengthen referral pathways, education and healthcare system readiness

SINGAPORE, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Scientific today revealed 
findings from a new report showing that, while physicians in Asia Pacific 
(APAC) increasingly view pulsed field ablation (PFA) as the future of atrial 
fibrillation (AFib) treatment, many patients in the region remain unable to 
benefit due to gaps across the care pathway.

 
<https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/3006607/PFA_in_APAC_from_Promise_to_Practice_Report__Lead_Image.html>


PFA in APAC, from Promise to Practice 
<https://pfapromisetopractice.com/?utm_source=pr_newswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=pfa_promisetopractice_2026>
 was commissioned by Boston Scientific to better understand physician 
perspectives on AFib care and the evolving role of PFA in APAC. Findings 
demonstrated strong confidence in PFA as an emerging ablation technology, with 
92% of the surveyed physicians expecting it to become their preferred ablation 
modality within the next two years.

However, 83% reported that fewer than half of eligible patients with AFib are 
referred for ablation within one year of diagnosis, highlighting the need for 
stronger education, care coordination and system readiness to help patients 
access advanced heart rhythm control therapies such as PFA sooner.

AFib is becoming a growing healthcare concern across APAC, with tens of 
millions of people - higher than has been calculated for other global regions - 
living with the condition. AFib is associated with an increased risk of stroke, 
heart failure and premature death. As the burden of AFib continues to grow, 
physicians who contributed to the report pointed to the importance of ensuring 
that advances in treatment translate into meaningful benefits for patients and 
healthcare systems alike.

"APAC faces a growing burden of AFib at a time when healthcare systems are 
under increasing pressure to deliver high quality care more efficiently," said
Dr.Ahmed Abdelaal, chief medical officer, APAC, Boston Scientific. "Growing 
confidence in PFA presents an important opportunity to transform AFib care, but 
innovation alone is not enough. Findings from this study reinforce the need for 
industry partners to continue partnering with physicians, professional 
societies and healthcare systems to expand education, generate evidence and 
support the adoption of best practices that help more patients benefit from 
earlier intervention."

The report identified several priorities to help more patients benefit from 
advances in AFib care, including improving referral pathways, strengthening 
education across the care continuum, generating additional long-term evidence 
and expanding access through supportive reimbursement and policy frameworks.

"Across APAC, there is growing recognition that AFib care must shift from a 
reactive approach to one focused on earlier intervention and proactive 
management," said Professor Hung-Fat Tse, 2nd vice president, Asia Pacific 
Heart Rhythm Society. "As evidence and clinical experience with PFA continue to 
grow, closer collaboration across clinicians, healthcare systems and industry 
will be essential to translating innovation into better outcomes for more 
patients."

The report is intended to support continued discussion on how AFib care is 
delivered across APAC, including the practical steps that may help appropriate 
patients receive timely assessment and treatment.

The full report, PFA in APAC, from Promise to Practice, is available here 
<https://pfapromisetopractice.com/?utm_source=pr_newswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=pfa_promisetopractice_2026>
.

About the Report

PFA in APAC, from Promise to Practice was commissioned by Boston Scientific 
and developed to better understand electrophysiologists (EP) perspectives on 
AFib care and the evolving role of PFA across APAC.

The report is based on a double-blinded online survey of practicing EPs which 
included 137 participants across four APAC markets (17 in Australia, 60 in 
China, 30 in Japan and 30 in South Korea). The survey was conducted between 
January and February 2026. Findings were supplemented by in-depth interviews 
with five representative EPs and informed by a review of published scientific 
literature.

As an exploratory study, the findings represent the perspectives of 
participating EPs at a specific point in time and are intended to provide 
directional insights rather than a comprehensive representation of all AFib 
care settings across APAC. Results should be interpreted within the context of 
local healthcare systems, reimbursement environments and clinical practice 
patterns at the time of data collection. Since the survey and interviews were 
conducted, reimbursement environments in parts of the region have continued to 
evolve. For example, national reimbursement for PFA in South Korea came into 
effect on May 1, 2026.

The report explores current clinical practice, barriers and enablers to AFib 
care, perspectives on PFA adoption, and opportunities to improve patient access 
to rhythm-control therapies across APAC.

ablation cases. Referral and Access Challenges


 * 81% reported that patients are commonly referred only after experiencing 
multiple AFib recurrences. 
 * 68% identified limited understanding of referral pathways and treatment 
options among referring healthcare professionals as a contributor to delayed 
intervention. Future of AFib Care


 * 64% expect increased use of first-line ablation for patients with 
paroxysmal AFib. 
 * 61% foresee expansion of advanced ablation approaches into broader patient 
populations. 
 * 57% anticipate earlier intervention in asymptomatic or early-stage AFib.

		<title>Atelier Expressions Expands Portfolio With Majority Acquisition Of Khoya</title>
		<author></author>
		<pubDate>2026-07-13 11:30:00</pubDate>
		<description><![CDATA[TVS VENU continues to grow its premium lifestyle platform, Atelier Expressions, 
through a majority investment in the New Delhi-based handcrafted mithai brand.

BENGALURU, India, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atelier Expressions, the 
premium lifestyle platform of TVS VENU, has entered into an agreement to 
acquire a majority stake in Lonestar Hospitality Private Limited (Khoya), the 
New Delhi-based luxury handcrafted mithai brand. The acquisition marks another 
step in Atelier Expressions' strategy of building a portfolio of artisanal 
businesses with strong cultural heritage and growth potential.

 <https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/3005519/KHOYA_PR_image.html> 


Atelier Expressions will acquire a majority stake in the business subject to 
customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to complete at the 
end of August 2026.

Through its investments, Atelier Expressions helps exceptional businesses 
realise their full potential while preserving the authenticity, identity and 
distinctive character at the heart of their success. Khoya has reimagined one 
of India's most enduring culinary traditions for a modern audience. Its 
combination of cultural authenticity, exceptional quality and strong commercial 
foundations makes it a natural addition to Atelier Expressions' growing 
portfolio of premium brands. Sid Mathur, Founder of Khoya, will retain full 
operational and execution responsibility, supported by his existing team.

The partnership brings one of India's respected luxury food brands into the 
growing Atelier Expressions portfolio. The lifestyle investment platform of TVS 
VENU is building a curated collection of exceptional brands and experiences, 
including J.L. Coquet, the historic Limoges porcelain maison with over 200 
years of French craftsmanship; Khadak, the acclaimed Dubai restaurant founded 
by chef Naved Nasir; and Hedon, the London-based luxury motorcycle helmet maker 
recognised for seamlessly combining engineering precision with artisanal design.

Founded in 2016 by Sid Mathur, Khoya has established itself as a distinctive 
luxury confectionery brand by creating Indian mithai for a contemporary 
audience. Combining exceptional ingredients, refined craftsmanship and 
thoughtful design, the brand has helped redefine a category long associated 
with tradition, delivering a premium offering rooted in India's rich culinary 
heritage.

"Sid has reimagined one of India's oldest culinary traditions for a new 
generation of consumers while staying true to what makes it special. That 
ability to respect tradition while building a contemporary brand is exactly 
what attracts us to businesses like Khoya," said Tara Venu, Executive Director 
of Atelier Expressions. "Khoya reflects the qualities we look for at Atelier 
Expressions, and we look forward to working together to build on its success 
while preserving the authenticity and character that define the brand."

Sid Mathur, Founder of Khoya, said: "This partnership with Atelier 
Expressions offers a tremendous opportunity to scale our presence across India, 
explore new collaborations and elevate Khoya to greater success. Khoya was 
created from a belief that Indian mithai deserves the same care, creativity and 
attention to detail as the world's finest luxury food brands. Every product we 
create is rooted in heritage while thoughtfully designed for the way people 
enjoy and share food today. As we considered the next chapter for Khoya, we 
wanted a partner who shares our belief in quality and long-term brand building. 
Atelier Expressions is a natural fit, and together we look forward to 
introducing more people to Indian confectionery at its very best."

Mathur developed Khoya in collaboration with food historians and academicians 
to present a more refined interpretation of the classic Indian mithai for 
today's modern consumers. He draws from his rich experiences with the 
Impresario Group, where he helped create brands including Smoke House Deli and 
Social, and Secret Ingredient, India's leading food consultancy firm that 
advises many prestigious clients.

Today, Khoya's portfolio includes premium traditional mithai, chikki, 
mukhwas, savoury snacks among others. The brand serves customers through its 
own digital channels and select retail locations in Delhi.

Atelier Expressions

Atelier Expressions, led by Tara Venu, is based in Singapore and part of TVS 
VENU, an institutional platform that builds, anchors and scales globally 
respected enterprises across mobility, financial services, real estate and 
lifestyle. With a presence in more than 90 countries, TVS VENU is built on 
century-long values of trust and customer delight, powered by quality, 
technology and innovation. With approximately USD 6.5 billion in FY26 revenue, 
TVS VENU brings together a portfolio of more than 64,000 people representing 
over 50 nationalities, with centres of excellence across India, Indonesia, 
Italy and the United Kingdom.

Atelier Expressions' portfolio includes J.L. Coquet, a French Limoges 
porcelain house established more than two centuries ago in the heart of 
Limoges, the cradle of porcelain craftsmanship, and shaped by rare 
savoir-faire, handwork and fire. Other portfolio ventures include Khadak, a 
bold restaurant in Dubai launched by Chef Naved Nasir, former head of renowned 
London-based Dishoom, and Hedon, a London-based luxury motorcycle helmet 
company.

Rooted in the legacy of TVS VENU, Atelier Expressions reflects a 
next-generation vision that connects cultural heritage with future-focused 
creativity.

Lonestar Hospitality Private Limited ("Khoya")

Launched in 2016, Khoya is a privately held food production company

House Deli and Social. In 2010, Sid founded Secret Ingredient, now regarded as 
India's leading food consultancy firm, having worked on over 100+ F&B concepts

<p>The partnership brings one of India's respected luxury food brands into the growing Atelier Expressions portfolio. The lifestyle investment platform of TVS VENU is building a curated collection of exceptional brands and experiences, including J.L. Coquet, the historic Limoges porcelain maison with over 200 years of French craftsmanship; Khadak, the acclaimed Dubai restaurant founded by chef Naved Nasir; and Hedon, the London-based luxury motorcycle helmet maker recognised for seamlessly combining engineering precision with artisanal design.</p> 
<p>Founded in 2016 by Sid Mathur, Khoya has established itself as a distinctive luxury confectionery brand by creating Indian mithai for a contemporary audience. Combining exceptional ingredients, refined craftsmanship and thoughtful design, the brand has helped redefine a category long associated with tradition, delivering a premium offering rooted in India's rich culinary heritage.</p> 
<p>&quot;Sid has reimagined one of India's oldest culinary traditions for a new generation of consumers while staying true to what makes it special. That ability to respect tradition while building a contemporary brand is exactly what attracts us to businesses like Khoya,&quot; said Tara Venu, Executive Director of Atelier Expressions. &quot;Khoya reflects the qualities we look for at Atelier Expressions, and we look forward to working together to build on its success while preserving the authenticity and character that define the brand.&quot;</p> 
<p>Sid Mathur, Founder of Khoya, said: &quot;This partnership with Atelier Expressions offers a tremendous opportunity to scale our presence across India, explore new collaborations and elevate Khoya to greater success. Khoya was created from a belief that Indian mithai deserves the same care, creativity and attention to detail as the world's finest luxury food brands. Every product we create is rooted in heritage while thoughtfully designed for the way people enjoy and share food today. As we considered the next chapter for Khoya, we wanted a partner who shares our belief in quality and long-term brand building. Atelier Expressions is a natural fit, and together we look forward to introducing more people to Indian confectionery at its very best.&quot;</p> 
<p>Mathur developed Khoya in collaboration with food historians and academicians to present a more refined interpretation of the classic Indian mithai for today's modern consumers. He draws from his rich experiences with the Impresario Group, where he helped create brands including Smoke House Deli and Social, and Secret Ingredient, India's leading food consultancy firm that advises many prestigious clients.</p> 
<p>Today, Khoya's portfolio includes premium traditional mithai, chikki, mukhwas, savoury snacks among others. The brand serves customers through its own digital channels and select retail locations in Delhi.</p> 
<p><b>Atelier Expressions</b></p> 
<p>Atelier Expressions, led by Tara Venu, is based in Singapore and part of TVS VENU, an institutional platform that builds, anchors and scales globally respected enterprises across mobility, financial services, real estate and lifestyle. With a presence in more than 90 countries, TVS VENU is built on century-long values of trust and customer delight, powered by quality, technology and innovation. With approximately USD 6.5 billion in FY26 revenue, TVS VENU brings together a portfolio of more than 64,000 people representing over 50 nationalities, with centres of excellence across India, Indonesia, Italy and the United Kingdom.</p> 
<p>Atelier Expressions' portfolio includes J.L. Coquet, a French Limoges porcelain house established more than two centuries ago in the heart of Limoges, the cradle of porcelain craftsmanship, and shaped by rare savoir-faire, handwork and fire. Other portfolio ventures include Khadak, a bold restaurant in Dubai launched by Chef Naved Nasir, former head of renowned London-based Dishoom, and Hedon, a London-based luxury motorcycle helmet company.</p> 
<p>Rooted in the legacy of TVS VENU, Atelier Expressions reflects a next-generation vision that connects cultural heritage with future-focused creativity.</p> 
<p><b>Lonestar Hospitality Private Limited (&quot;Khoya&quot;)</b></p> 
<p>Launched in 2016, Khoya is a privately held food production company specializing in luxury, handcrafted Indian sweets, based in New Delhi. Khoya offers a range of premium traditional mithai, chikki, mukhwas, savoury snacks among others, with a focus on quality ingredients and luxury presentation for both retail and corporate gifting. Khoya sells its products online and through select retail locations in Delhi.</p> 
<p>Khoya was founded by Sid Mathur. Although Sid began his career in private banking, he moved to India from London in 2009 and joined the Impresario Group. Sid played a vital role in the creation of famous food brands such as Smoke House Deli and Social.

		<description><![CDATA[Latest video intelligence solution transforms fleet safety by empowering 
drivers with instant support

BANGKOK, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Geotab 
<https://www.geotab.com/apac/?utm_campaign=null_brand-awareness_sea_null&utm_content=press%20release&utm_medium=article&utm_source=internal&utm_term=jan_2026>
, a global leader in connected transportation, video and asset tracking 
solutions, today announced the launch of theGO Focus Plus 
<https://www.geotab.com/apac/go-focus-plus/>® AI dash cam and its new video 
intelligence platform in Thailand, expanding access to advanced AI video 
telematics designed to help fleets proactively reduce risk and improve driver 
safety.

 <https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2987877/image1.html> 
Geotab Launches GO Focus Plus in Thailand to Help Fleets Prevent Accidents

The dual-facing dash cam delivers proactive, in-cab voice support that helps 
drivers self-correct risky behaviours such as distraction, fatigue or 
tailgating. In a recent large pilot, the voice coaching functionality helped 
reduce tailgating by 90% and mobile phone use by 95%. This system turns every 
alert into a coaching opportunity, aiming to prevent accidents and create a 
measurable impact on fleet safety culture.

Thailand continues to face one of the world's highest road fatality rates 
<https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/road-deaths-by-country>, 
with risk peaking during New Year and Songkran. During these biannual "Seven 
Dangerous Days," road deaths in 2024nearly doubled to around 69 fatalities per 
day <https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11652744/>, reinforcing the 
urgency for near real-time safety intervention on Thai roads.

These spikes are not random. Focused crash investigations 
<https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/built-environment/articles/10.3389/fbuil.2025.1684955/full>
 show that fatigue, distraction, speeding and high-pressure driving conditions 
are the primary drivers of severe outcomes on Thai roads. For commercial 
drivers, long hours and peak holiday travel intensify these risks, while fleet 
operators face increasing responsibility to ensure driver well-being, 
operational efficiency and public trust.  These converging factors reinforce 
the need for near real-time intervention to prevent incidents before they occur.

"Across Thailand and the wider region, transport has been undergoing a period 
of sustained pressure," saidEzanne Soh, Associate Vice President, Southeast 
Asia, Geotab. "Road safety risks are rising at the same time as fleets face 
tighter margins, workforce strain and growing public scrutiny. Drivers are 
operating in increasingly demanding conditions, and the cost of getting safety 
wrong is higher than ever. This is driving a clear shift across the industry: 
from reacting to incidents after the fact to preventing risk before it turns 
into harm."

The GO Focus Plus AI dash cam combines Geotab's connected vehicle insights 
with intelligent, in-cab coaching to give drivers instant support exactly when 
they need it. At the same time, it helps fleet managers focus their attention 
on the issues that matter most, reducing day-to-day oversight burden and 
enabling more effective intervention without the need for constant monitoring 
or manual review.

Key Features of the GO Focus Plus


 * Proactive Driver Coaching: The Go Focus Plus provides instant, in-cab voice 
prompts to drivers when risky behaviors like distracted driving (e.g., phone 
use, fatigue) or tailgating are detected, helping them correct habits. 
 * Targeted Fleet Management: AI-driven video intelligence surfaces the most 
urgent risks and repeat patterns for quick review, eliminating the need for 
fleet managers to sort through extensive footage. Each alert includes video and 
contextual data, enabling targeted and effective coaching. 
 * Seamless Workflow and Safety Culture: The MyGeotab platform allows for a 
seamless workflow, including the assignment, tracking, and recognition of 
progress, reinforcing a strong culture of safety within the fleet. Improve 
Fleet Safety with Geotab's Evolving AI Video Intelligence Platform

Geotab's video intelligence platform is built to continuously evolve. Its 
advanced AI models refine detection and coaching automatically with every 
update, ensuring fleets always have the smartest, sharpest tools to stay ahead 
of risk without extra administrative work. The platform's open architecture is 
designed to support a growing family of advanced cameras, with new models and 
capabilities planned in the coming months.

The new video intelligence platform, with the GO Focus Plus AI dash cam, 
represents a significant step forward in Geotab's commitment to fleet safety, 
uniting driving data and video, to deliver a complete picture of risk and a 
path for improvement. It marks the next chapter for Geotab, dedicated to 
helping fleets create safer roads and a stronger, more supportive operation.

		<title>TVS Motor Company Ranked #1 Globally For Shareholder Value Creation In 'Durable Consumer Goods' By WirtschaftsWoche And Boston Consulting Group</title>
		<author></author>
		<pubDate>2026-05-28 08:30:00</pubDate>
		<description><![CDATA[BENGALURU, India, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TVS Motor Company, part of TVS 
VENU, has been ranked #1 globally in the 'Durable Consumer Goods' category in 
the annual 'Best Stocks in the World', ranking published exclusively by 
Germany's leading business weekly WirtschaftsWoche, based on the Boston 
Consulting Group (BCG) Value Creators analysis.

WirtschaftsWoche, founded in 1926 and celebrating its centenary this year, is 
Germany's largest weekly business publication, widely read by senior 
executives, institutional investors and corporate decision-makers across 
Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Its annual 'Best Stocks in the World' 
analysis is one of the most widely cited rankings of listed companies in the 
German-speaking region.

The independent study evaluated more than 2,000 listed companies across 35 
industries worldwide. Over the five-year period from 2021 to 2025, TVS Motor 
Company delivered an average annual Total Shareholder Return of approximately 
51 per cent — the highest in its global category, ahead of established peers 
from Japan, China, the United States, and India.

According to the analysis, TVS Motor's performance was driven primarily by 
strong revenue growth (22 percentage points) and a premium market valuation (18 
percentage points), complemented by improving profitability and continuous 
strengthening of the balance sheet. Notably, this profile aligns closely with 
the criteria the study identifies for resilient companies — profitable, 
growth-oriented, and financially disciplined, with reserves to withstand 
volatile market conditions.

Professor Sir Ralf Speth, Chief Mentor, TVS Motor Company, comments: "This 
recognition by WirtschaftsWoche and BCG is the result of the consistent 
implementation of Chairman Sudarshan Venu's clear strategic vision. His passion 
for the company, deep understanding of markets and customers, openness to new 
technology, and attentiveness to the workforce create a values-based 
environment in which creativity and performance can flourish. Equally exemplary 
is the strong commitment to social responsibility.

With this mindset - the 'TVS Way' - and under outstanding corporate 
leadership, the TVS team wins numerous international awards year after year, 
including accolades for environmental stewardship and exceptional product 
quality. TVS is synonymous with quality and a strong commitment to the 
environment, rooted in the skill of its people and built on manufacturing 
excellence. In symbiosis with this commitment, the company continues to advance 
energy‑efficient solutions and strengthen its leadership in electric mobility.

Under TVS Motor Company's ownership, Norton's global resurgence is now clear. 
This storied and deeply revered brand is once again delivering a compelling 
combination of technology, design integrity and dynamism. I am confident TVS 
Motor Company is strongly positioned for the future - delivering sustainable 
growth, strengthening global competitiveness and creating long-term shareholder 
value - recognition goes to the whole TVS team for their hard work and 
commitment."

In its most recent financial year (2025–26), TVS Motor Company has built 
further on this momentum, recording its highest-ever annual sales of 5.89 
million units, a 24 per cent increase year-on-year, with international business 
growing 33 per cent across more than 90 markets. Revenue grew 30 per cent 
year-on-year to Rs. 47,270 crore, with operating PBT up 40 per cent to Rs. 
4,975 crore and operating EBITDA margin improving 60 basis points to 12.9 per 
cent.
