Madison Media Alpha bags media mandate for Uncle Delivery
Mumbai: Uncle Delivery has appointed Madison Media Alpha, a unit of Madison World, as their official media agency on record. The account was won by Madison after a multi-agency pitch. As the media agency for the brand, the agency will strategize and manage all forms of media, including outdoor, digital, and traditional media.
As a way of empowering small and medium enterprises (SMEs), Uncle Delivery entered the market in 2021. With a mobile and web app, a network of trusted drivers, and a fleet of couriers just a click away, Uncle Delivery is on its way to becoming the fastest on-demand delivery service in India.
Speaking of this association, Uncle Delivery founder & executive director Sourabh Chatterjee said, “As a start-up in a highly competitive on-demand delivery domain, we were looking forward to having an agency as a partner who would not only help us in the execution of different campaigns but also advise us on how to utilise our resources effectively and efficiently. I think Madison has got that perfect understanding of local dimensions and that is helping us a lot, and of course, the association of Sam Balsara and Vishal Chinchankar gives us much more confidence.”
Commenting on this new partnership, Madison Digital & Madison Media Alpha chief executive officer Vishal Chinchankar said, “It is fascinating to me that Uncle Delivery strives to deliver fast and reliably while prioritising the safety of its partners in this competitive market. I’m thrilled to have Uncle Delivery on board and look forward to working with them to deliver innovative and meaningful projects.”

Hyundai and TVS Motor partner to develop electric three wheelers
Joint development pact targets last mile mobility with localisation push
MUMBAI: Three wheels, one big ambition and a charge towards the future. Hyundai Motor Company and TVS Motor Company have signed a joint development agreement to co-create electric three-wheelers (E3Ws), aiming to crack India’s complex last-mile mobility puzzle. The collaboration moves beyond concept talk into execution mode, building on the E3W prototype first showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The goal now is clear, design, develop and commercialise a purpose-built vehicle tailored to Indian roads, riders and realities.
Under the agreement, Hyundai will lead design and co-development, bringing its global R&D muscle and human-centric engineering approach to the table. TVS Motor, meanwhile, will anchor the product on its electric platform, leveraging deep three-wheeler expertise and local market insight. It will also handle manufacturing and sales in India, with an eye on exports down the line.
The timing is strategic. India remains the world’s largest three-wheeler market, where affordability, durability and adaptability often outweigh sheer innovation. The upcoming E3W aims to strike that balance combining advanced technology with practical features such as adaptive ground clearance for monsoon-hit roads, improved thermal management for tropical climates, and flexible interiors suited for passengers, cargo or emergency use.
A key pillar of the partnership is localisation. Major components will be sourced and manufactured within India, a move expected to strengthen the domestic supply chain, create jobs, lower costs and improve after-sales support.
The shift from prototype to production will involve rigorous testing, certification and refinement to meet regulatory standards and consumer expectations. Dedicated cross-functional teams from both companies are already in place to accelerate timelines.
At a broader level, the tie-up reflects a growing trend in mobility, global players partnering with local specialists to navigate emerging markets. For Hyundai and TVS, the bet is that combining scale with street-level insight could unlock a new chapter in sustainable urban transport, one that runs not just on electricity, but on relevance.
