The show organized by Impresario Event Management Company will showcase a dazzling array of designer cars and bikes, electric scooters, vintage cars, hybrid cars, off-road vehicles, concept cars, high performance sports cars, commercial vehicles, and many more. The show will also feature other facets of the automobile industry like auto components and accessories and finance. The world’s most desirable cars, the very latest accessories and gadgets, exchange offers and free check up camp are the highlights of the show.

The Cochin motor show is Kerala’s biggest motoring event since its launch in 1996. The Motor show has grown at an astonishing rate as Kerala is showing signs towards becoming a potential market for premium and luxury cars with Kochi as the industrial and commercial hub of the state being eyed up by many car makers to start dealerships. Premium car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Volvo and Volkswagen have alreadyannounced opening of their dealerships in Kochi.

The two-wheeler manufacturers are especially encouraged by the enthusiasm of the young riders who look for trendy products all the time. Some of the bike manufacturers are also targeting young ladies and making bikes that are comfortable and cater specially to their needs.

Until the mid-80s, the only cars really available in India were the Ambassador and the Premier Padmini but the present scenario in the Indian market has changed with an array of luxury cars to choose from. Today we can walk into a showroom and drive off with the car of your choice if you have the money.

Now customer expectations are getting sky-high on one hand and manufacturers insist on world-class ambience and facilities at the showrooms and workshops. The Cochin Motor Show will be a perfect destination for all the automobile enthusiasts in Kerala. All the cars that are likely to get launched by next year are also expected to be on display.

According to forecasts, a growing number of people in India will earn higher incomes in the future, thus being able to afford personal mobility. The “Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006-2016” which was adopted by the Indian government in 2007 provides concrete measures for the Indian automotive industry, expected to draw additional investments of about 40 billion US dollars. “Fundamental developments will keep on attracting established manufacturers to India. In my opinion, the potential for local developers lies in the concept and adaptation of applications in line with the market where use is made, for example, of local competencies in order to quickly integrate a lot of local content”, says Prof. Wilhelm about the chances of success for German companies in India.

Strategic positioning of the automotive location

The multi-faceted congress programme begins with a greeting by the patron of the congress, Prof. Dr Jochem Heizmann, Member of the Board of the Volkswagen AG. Thereafter, Klaus Bräunig, Managing Director of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), will deliver a speech on the "Development and Prospects of the Indian Automotive Industry – An Analysis from a German point of view“, reporting on the positioning of the Indian automotive industry. Following the greeting and the first presentation, the participants will then deal with the strategic challenges of corporate activities in India later in the morning.

Among others, Jörg Müller, President & Managing Director of Volkswagen India Private Limited, will speak about the strategies of Volkswagen in India and Joachim Rothenpieler, Head of Group Quality Assurance at Volkswagen AG, will offer information on quality standards and product requirements in India and in the European Union.

Practical examples providing an insight into reality

In the afternoon, focus is placed on success factors for OEMs and suppliers in India as well as the opportunities and prospects of India as an economic power.

The organisation of trade fairs, conferences and symposia is also part of the portfolio.

The SIC campus auditorium decked up in gauze and floral luxury, rolled out its red carpet for the symposium. The two day symposium started off on 26th September in the august presence of the torch-bearer of the Indian education, Dr.S.B.Majumdar, the president and founder- director of Symbiosis society, Dr.Vidya Yeravdekar, joint director of Symbiosis society, and Dr.M.S.Raste, Vice chancellor of SIU. Dr.Majumdar was delighted with the innovative topic for the symposium and congratulated the Marketing club, SCMHRD for the work well done. Dr.K.S.Subramanian, Director, SCMHRD, also congratulated the club for their initiative and gave an introduction to Luxury Marketing.

The first distinguished speaker for the day was Ms.Radha Chadha, founder of Chadha Strategy Consulting, Honk Kong, an alumnus of IIM-A and the author of the no.3 bestseller book in its category on Amazon.com- “The cult of Luxury brands- Inside Asia’s love affair with luxury”. The presentation gave a bird’s eye view of the various nations in Asia namely Japan, China, India, Honk-Kong etc and their obsession with luxury brands.

Next was a presentation by SCMHRD students (Upendra and Shevaita) on the meaning of luxury to high – income earning professionals. Stressed out professionals felt that even time spent on a clean beach without any mobile network amounted to luxury!

On this note Mr. Shiv Sethuraman, group CEO TBWA India, an industry veteran, having worked on accounts such as Nestle and Louis Vuitton gave his presentation on the “Journey” campaign for Louis Vuitton (with the startling Mikhail Gorbachev as one of its icons). His presentation focused on communicating luxury, how shops are designed, how the magazines influence the industry, how the advertisements are designed, how the brand selects its ambassadors etc.

The afternoon session started with the address by Ms.Binita Cooper, Director, Luxury Brands– L’Oreal. The presentation explained how L’Oreal positions and communicates its high end products to the customers. A few ‘yet-to-be-launched’ clippings of Ralph Lauren advertisements made the students understand how the exclusivity of the product is conveyed effectively.

Another illustrious name, Ms.Alpana Parida, Head – Marketing & Merchandising, Tanishq delivered her presentation on how Indian women turning bold, articulate and expressive has given Tanishq an opportunity to satiate their needs in terms of modern, trendy and statement-making fashion jewellery. In a nation where 11% of the households account for 76% of the diamonds sold, the luxury segment in Indian jewellery is growing at the rate of 15% per annum. While Tanishq has not catered to this segment so far, Ms.Parida said that the company is definitely on the look out to enter this segment at the right time, in the right way.

The first speaker on day 2 was Mr.Pradeep Lokhande, Founder of Rural Relations. His presentation was an eye-opener for everyone who thought that the purchasing power of India lies in its cities. The 15 crore affluent rural population is brand aware and is willing to spend money on the brands they trust.

Mr.Anurag Mehrotra, Head- Wealth Management, Edelweiss Securities, came next to talk about luxury in financial services. Such services are targeted at high net worth individuals (HNWI) and India has shown the highest growth in the number of HNWIs in the past, making it ideal for such targeted and exclusive services. Luxuries in financial services, as he mentioned, can be as simple as maintaining the confidentiality of the clients one interacts with, to something as exotic as sponsoring them to the Olympics opening ceremony in a private jet.

Tag Heuer, the signature watch of the Bollywood Badshah, is not new to many of us. But what was new was the how the watchmaker division of LVMH made inroads in India, making it the fourth largest Swiss watch brand in the country. Ms.Manmeet Vohra, Marketing Director, Tag Heuer India, presented us with the exciting growth story of the brand and how the company made the right moves by partnering up idols like Shah Rukh Khan , Sushmita Sen to more recently, Priyanka Chopra.

The afternoon session was started by Mr. Romel Bhog, CEO HDIL Leisure, who broached the topic of developing a Luxury Service Mindset. He elaborated on the factors of providing luxury service such as selfless factor, care and appreciation factor, above and beyond factor etc. He also stated that developing a mindset starts right from hiring the right staff for a brand to having a vision of “looking from outside”.

Next, Ms. Shaziya Khan, Strategic Planning Director- JWT, graced the stage to present the bird of gold – India and its scope in luxury today. She introduced 4 new C’s of luxury marketing , namely class, code, cost benefit and celebrity. She observed that for India, it’s the visible class that will be the most important luxury market accelerator. She also illustrated some unique features of the Indian luxury market such as cost benefit mindset. The most delicate issue in luxury marketing is dealing with the paradox of selling more of a product while retaining its aura and according to Ms. Khan maintaining an intellectual and cultural difference is the key to solving this paradox. She left the podium with a success formula – “Cracking the luxury code of a country is a quest for information that leads luxury marketing to success”. Her parting words were – “never shed daylight upon magic. Keep the mystery and let luxury be unfamiliar”.

The last speaker of the symposium was Ms. Devyani Raman, CEO and partner of The Leading Brands of the World and CEO of Luxury Marketing Council-India. In her unique style she conducted an interactive session with the audience and created an impromptu power point presentation using the inputs given by the audience. Ms. Raman’s spot-quizzing lead to comprehensive answers to questions like:

“What does luxury mean to you? “

“Does the business of luxury seek a market or does a market seek luxury?”

“Is India ready for luxury? Why or why not?”

“Who do you think is buying into luxury in India?”

“What do you think are the top 3 luxury market challenges and opportunities?”

“Can you accelerate the growth of luxury in India?”

SCMHRD had also conducted a paper presentation contest on the topic “Luxury Marketing – Past, Present and Future trends: Automobile Sector”. The response was overwhelming with 104 teams submitting their papers, out of which, 4 best teams were called to present their paper during the symposium. The teams short listed for the finals were SPJain, NITIE, MDI and TAPMI. Nitie was adjudged as the best, winning them a cash prize of Rs. 12000 with TAPMI, a close second, winning a cash prize of Rs. 7000.

This was followed by a panel discussion consisting of the who’s who of Pune city like Mrs. Usha Kakade, Dr and Mrs. Bhosle, Dr. Anita Phadnis, Mr. Jayesh Gadekar and Dr. Gadekar who were joined by Mr. Romel Bhog and Ms. Devyani Raman to discuss on the topic - understanding and identifying the luxury consumer in India. The discussion concluded on the note that luxury is very subjective and personalized. Its definition varies from person to person depending on his income group, generation and social setting.

The concluding remarks for the symposium were given by Dr. K.S Subramanian, Director SCMHRD, who expressed his gratitude to the main sponsors of the symposium, the Sanjay Kakade group, for their contribution in making the event a grand success. He also congratulated the students of SCMHRD and marketing club for hosting the innovative and challenging concept of luxury marketing. The vote of thanks was delivered by Ms. Pratima Shorey, Head of centre of excellence, Marketing. The students of SCMHRD left the marketing symposium with the new knowledge and the luxury of listening to such great speakers.

The first pickup of its kind manufactured by a European mass-volume carmaker is expected to set new standards in its segment. The main markets for the future series will be South America, South Africa and Australia. Because of their versatility, pickups are one of the most popular types of automobile for recreational and commercial purposes in these regions. Production of the new pickup at Volkswagen’s Argentine plant in Pacheco is due to get under way in the autumn of 2009.

5.18 metres long, the show car was developed from scratch. Its design features elements universally typical for the brand. The uncompromising horizontal design of the radiator grille, with its integrated VW sign, and headlamps which have been incorporated into the contours of the grille convey a premium quality and give the front section, with a width of 1.9 metres, a formidable yet pleasing look. The pickup also gets top marks for being accommodatingly wide at the rear. Unlike its direct competitors, this pickup offers a cargo area with enough room to easily transport a euro-pallet even if it is loaded crossways.

The rescue-vehicle version of the show car is fitted with state-of-the-art rescue equipment which includes exterior fittings as well as fittings in its ultra-modern, highly robust interior compartment.

Facility Management performs the twin tasks of supporting the people in the core business & taking care of the CSR as well. Facility Managers are increasingly asked to deliver support service that is broader and deeper than ever before – often with the continuing demand for cost reduction as well. Hence the roles and responsibilities of facility managers are changing and becoming more challenging. The proposed conference seeks to explore this widening horizon of facility management and has the distinction to be the first of its kind in India.

In the last decade and a half, Information Technology (IT) has emerged as a key driver of Indian economy. It has also added a lot to the development of commercial real estate in India. This growth is fuelled by the Government’s decision to have IT specific Special Economic Zones all over the country. But is the Industry ready to cash in upon the opportunities and react favorably to the situation? To facilitate an intra-industry debate and discourse upon this question, MMG Worldwide brings a series of conferences and seminars on related critical issues – the latest being a proposed conference on “Facility Management in IT specific SEZ’s in India” on 18th September at The Leela Kempinski, Mumbai.

What is most attractive about this phenomenon and has been a key driver is the low waiting time treatments in India; added to this is the cost of treatment, which is less than 60% of a comparable cost of treatment in countries like the US or the UK. Procedures ranging from cardiac surgery to renal transplants, gastric bypass, laparoscopic gastric banding and joint replacements are some of the treatments which prove to be very cost effective when carried out in India.

India is at par with international standards in medical technology, infrastructure, equipment and facilities; and the medical professionals are amongst the most well-trained and experienced in their field of specialisation.

Doctors in India have postgraduate degrees and training that are accepted internationally. Another advantage that Indian doctors have over their counterparts in other countries is the high volume of patients that they treat; as a result of which they are more experienced than a lot of their counterparts in other countries. Doctors and nurses in India are fluent in English and therefore communication is, in most cases, made simpler.

Building on the world focus on India as a medical treatment destination, the Sai Medical Group is promoting Indian healthcare on a global scale at the upcoming Medical Tourism Convention being held in California.

The Indian transportation market presents considerable opportunities for suppliers of security technologies, systems and know-how. To this end, TranSec India Expo will offer an essential platform to bring buyers & specifiers together with sellers.

Its sister event, TranSec World Expo in Amsterdam, has been meticulously developed as the event of choice for the international transport security community over the last 5 years.

TranSec India Expo will replicate this successful format to enable companies to stand out in a crowded and competitive marketplace, where potential customers and strategic collaborators are not always within easy reach.

The event is ideal for interacting and engaging with existing and future clients, in an environment which is business-focused, knowledge-driven, and which encourages networking and outreach opportunities.

Above all, TranSec India Expo will deliver results:

• New Indian partnerships & distribution channels
• Market knowledge
• New contacts
• Launch platform
• Profile & awareness
