Autocar Professional Magazine - 15th December 2025

In this issue

Autocar Professional’s December 15, 2025 Edition is out! The anniversary edition of Autocar Professional 2025 focuses on a defining leadership moment at TVS Motor Company, spotlighting Sudarshan Venu as its 2025 Person of the Year. The edition examines how TVS, under his stewardship, is on track to overtake Yamaha to become the world’s third-largest two-wheeler manufacturer, while also surpassing Hero MotoCorp in revenues in the first half of FY26. It highlights TVS Motor’s emergence as India’s largest electric scooter manufacturer in 2025 and its strong, broad-based performance across scooters, premium motorcycles, electric vehicles and exports, with overseas volumes crossing one million units. The 2025 anniversary edition focuses on the scale and balance of this performance, noting that TVS has delivered record sales, profits and margins while continuing to invest aggressively for the future. It underscores how multiple business verticals now operate as parallel growth engines. The edition focuses on Sudarshan Venu’s leadership imprint, marked by faster decision-making, calibrated risk-taking and expanded investments in new-age capabilities. While acknowledging the strong foundation laid by Venu Srinivasan, the magazine points to a deliberate reimagining of TVS Motor as a global, agile organisation, supported by rising R&D spend, global talent induction and a disciplined multi-powertrain strategy. The latest edition focuses on the broader significance of this transition, as Sudarshan Venu becomes the youngest Person of the Year in the magazine’s history and the first instance of both father and son receiving the honour. Framed within Autocar Professional’s 21st anniversary, the edition brings together perspectives from global automotive leaders and Indian CXOs to assess how 2025 unfolded and what it signals for the future of India’s mobility ecosystem.
