TVS Group’s ‘Miss.Represent’ campaign is set to transform the auto industry
Mumbai: TVS Group, a pioneering force in the automotive industry, is proud to announce a ground-breaking campaign addressing gender equality within our society. This initiative is born from TVS Group’s unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive workforce, recognising that diversity enhances creativity, fuels innovation, and propels overall corporate excellence.
Research studies suggested by Science Magazine and the Fawcett Society have underscored a notable gender disparity within the automotive industry, with a distinct underrepresentation of women in critical roles. When investigating this issue, it was evident that the origins of this inequality can be traced back to early childhood. The images and messages encountered during these formative years play a crucial role in shaping aspirations. Notably, the prevalent use of Occupation Charts in schools predominantly features male figures in esteemed professions, inadvertently conveying that specific careers are primarily reserved for men. This early misrepresentation perpetuates a skewed perception of possibilities among young girls, steering them away from envisioning a future within these fields.
The campaign has been devised by FCB Kinnect.
In response, TVS Group has taken a pioneering step by launching an initiative that addresses this issue at its core, guided by the belief that empowering the girls of today will lead to the emergence of empowered women of tomorrow. TVS Group is actively dismantling the barriers that have historically hindered women’s active participation in the automotive industry by directing efforts towards inspiring young girls. The rationale is straightforward: TVS Group recognises that by nurturing the potential of young girls today, they are fortifying the foundation for a more robust and diverse workforce that will shape the industry’s landscape tomorrow. As a part of this visionary initiative, TVS Group will introduce a comprehensive series of interactive workshops, mentorship programs, and awareness campaigns tailored for schools and educational institutions.

Schneider Electric launches One Unit Mission for Women’s Day
Green Yodha 2.0 urges every Indian household to save one unit of electricity daily.
MUMBAI: Schneider Electric just flipped the switch on savings because this Women’s Day the brightest idea isn’t a new bulb, it’s turning one unit off. Schneider Electric launched the second phase of its Green Yodha initiative, ‘One Unit Mission’, on International Women’s Day 2026, calling on every Indian household to save at least one unit of electricity daily. The campaign was flagged off in Delhi by chief minister Rekha Gupta, actor and sustainability advocate Bhumi Pednekar, and other dignitaries.
Rekha Gupta said, “Delhi’s journey towards clean, resilient growth begins with how efficiently we use the energy we already have. Green Yodha 2.0 reminds us that every citizen is a stakeholder in India’s energy future, and saving one unit of power today is an act of nation-building for tomorrow.”
Schneider Electric India zone president, MD & CEO Deepak Sharma added, “India is entering a decade of unprecedented growth, and that growth will require enormous amounts of energy. The real challenge is not just how much power we produce, but how intelligently we use it. If every Indian household saves just one unit of electricity a day, the impact would be equivalent to planting billions of trees or taking millions of cars off the road.”
Schneider Electric India, vice president of marketing Rajat Abbi noted, “Sustainability becomes real when it is simple and measurable. The One Unit Mission is about turning awareness into everyday action.”
In FY 2023–24, India’s energy-efficiency programmes (PAT, UJALA, S&L, SLNP, CAFÉ) collectively saved 53.6 million tonnes of oil equivalent, avoided 321 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions, and reduced energy expenditure by Rs 2 lakh crore equivalent to nearly 6 per cent of national primary energy supply.
The initiative aligns with government efforts on efficient cooling, appliance standards and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency’s state-level SEEI FY 2024 framework, emphasising demand-side efficiency as a cost-effective complement to new generation capacity.
In a nation sprinting toward brighter, bigger tomorrows, Schneider isn’t selling more power, it’s quietly handing every household a daily superpower: the ability to save one unit and help light up a cleaner, more efficient future, one thoughtful switch at a time.
