Ahmedabad: Adani Realty is tightening its marketing game in the National Capital Region. The real estate arm of the Adani Group has appointed Siddharth Kumar as senior manager – marketing, tasking him with driving brand strategy and growth across one of India’s most fiercely contested property markets.
Kumar brings over 14 years of real estate marketing experience, spanning brand building, product launches and large-scale campaigns. He joins from Whiteland Corporation, where he spent nearly three years and played a central role in launching Westin Residences Gurugram with Marriott International—one of India’s largest branded residences projects.
His career also includes stints at M3M India, Elan Group and Alchemist Marketing, building a reputation for insight-led positioning and execution in premium and mid-market real estate.
At Adani Realty, Kumar will lead NCR-focused marketing initiatives as the group scales its footprint and sharpens its messaging amid intensifying competition.

For Adani Realty, the hire signals intent. In a market where visibility, credibility and speed matter as much as square footage, the battle will be fought as much on brand as on bricks—and the pace is only picking up.

Hyundai India posts record April sales with 17-per cent growth
Domestic sales hit 51,902 units, exports stand at 13,708 units
MUMBAI: Hyundai is clearly shifting gears and April has put the pedal firmly to the metal. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has reported its highest-ever domestic sales for the month of April, clocking 51,902 units in April 2026, marking a 17 per cent year-on-year growth. The milestone sets a strong tone for the new financial year, signalling sustained demand momentum across its portfolio. Alongside domestic performance, the company recorded export volumes of 13,708 units for the month, underlining its continued strength in overseas markets.
The growth has been driven by a mix of refreshed models and special editions across segments. Recent launches and updates including the Exter, Verna, Ioniq 5, Creta Summer Edition, Grand i10 NIOS Vibe Edition and Venue Knight Edition have helped keep the line-up competitive in an increasingly crowded market.
A standout performer was the Venue, which recorded its highest-ever monthly domestic sales of 12,420 units. The model’s 5-Star Bharat NCAP safety rating, including for the VENUE N Line, appears to have bolstered consumer confidence, reflecting a broader industry shift where safety credentials are becoming a key purchase driver.
Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO, HMIL, said the company has carried forward recent momentum into the new financial year, with product interventions and safety-focused positioning playing a central role in driving growth.
The numbers suggest Hyundai’s strategy is ticking multiple boxes fresh product cycles, safety-led messaging and steady export performance. If April is any indication, the company isn’t just starting the year strong, it’s aiming to keep the engine running at full throttle.
