Euler Motors elevates Pallavi Arora to associate VP, marketing
Marketing elevation follows high-visibility campaigns and product launches
NEW DELHI: Euler Motors has elevated Pallavi Arora to associate vice president, marketing, underscoring a renewed push to sharpen brand muscle as India’s commercial electric vehicle market gathers pace.
Based in New Delhi, Arora will now lead the company’s integrated marketing and communications engine, spanning public relations, digital and performance marketing, social media, brand strategy and above- and below-the-line initiatives across both b2b and b2c segments. Her remit includes driving brand positioning, digital transformation and customer engagement as the company scales nationally.
The promotion marks a milestone in Arora’s six-year stint at Euler Motors. She previously served as assistant general manager and senior manager, marketing, during which she fronted several high-decibel campaigns aimed at accelerating awareness and adoption.
These include Bada socho, Euler HiLoad socho for the HiLoad EV, Aane de for StormEV (India’s first four-wheeler light commercial vehicle fitted with advanced driver assistance systems) and, most recently, Tan tana tan, a campaign spotlighting the strength and profitability of the Turbo EV 1000. The latter is being amplified during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, one of the country’s biggest sporting stages.
Arora’s elevation comes as India’s commercial EV segment accelerates, fuelled by the expansion of last-mile delivery networks, surging e-commerce volumes and growing acceptance of technology-led mobility solutions.
Earlier in her career, she held roles at Warner Bros Pictures India, Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Limited and Cube26, which was later acquired by Paytm. Her rise reflects Euler Motors’ stated preference for building leadership from within as competition intensifies in the electric cargo vehicle space.
Founded in 2018, Euler Motors focuses on electric commercial vehicles for cargo delivery and has positioned itself as a challenger to internal combustion incumbents, betting that economics, regulation and logistics will increasingly favour electric drivetrains.

33 per cent of women believe the salary scale is rigged: Naukri report
Voices @ Work study finds rising calls for equal pay audits and lingering bias
MUMBAI: Progress may be visible in India’s workplaces, but many women still feel the need to tread carefully. A new report by Naukri reveals that one in two women hesitate to disclose marriage or maternity plans during job interviews, worried that such information could influence hiring decisions.
The findings come from the second edition of Naukri’s annual Voices @ Work International Women’s Day report, titled “What Women Professionals Want.” Drawing insights from more than 50,000 women across over 50 industries, the survey sheds light on evolving workplace aspirations alongside the biases that continue to hold women back.
One of the report’s most striking insights is the growing demand for equal pay audits. The share of women calling for regular pay parity checks has climbed to 27 per cent this year, up from 19 per cent a year ago. The demand now stands alongside menstrual leave as the most sought after workplace policy.
Interestingly, the call for pay transparency grows louder higher up the income ladder. Nearly half of women earning between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 1 crore annually say equal pay audits are a priority, suggesting that pay gaps become more visible as women move up the career ladder.
At the same time, confidence and ambition appear to be rising. About 83 per cent of women say they feel encouraged to pursue leadership roles, a significant jump from 66 per cent last year. Cities in southern India appear particularly supportive, with Hyderabad leading the way as 86 per cent of respondents there reported encouragement to step into leadership positions. The education sector recorded the highest sense of encouragement at 87 per cent.
Yet the report also highlights a growing trust deficit around pay equity. Nearly one in three women, or 33 per cent, say they do not believe men and women are paid equally at their workplace. That figure has risen from 25 per cent last year, pointing to widening perceptions of disparity as careers progress.
Bias in hiring and promotions continues to be the biggest hurdle. About 42 per cent of respondents say workplace bias is the main challenge for women from diverse backgrounds. The concern is consistent across major metros, with Chennai and Delhi NCR reporting similar levels.
Reluctance to discuss personal milestones during hiring processes is also widespread. While 34 per cent overall said they hesitate to share marriage or maternity plans in interviews, the anxiety increases with experience. Among professionals with 10 to 15 years of work experience, the figure rises to 40 per cent.
Info Edge group CMO Sumeet Singh, said the data reflects both progress and unfinished work. “Behind every data point in this report is a woman who is ambitious. The fact that 83 per cent feel encouraged to lead is something to celebrate. However, the fact that one in two still hide their marriage or maternity plans in interviews tells us the work is far from done. As India’s leading career platform, it felt not just important but necessary for us to shine a light on these gaps through the second edition of our report,” he said.
The report suggests that while ambition among women professionals is growing, structural changes around pay transparency, fair hiring and supportive policies will be key if workplaces hope to keep pace.
