Moneyview & CaratLane partner to offer digital gold
Mumbai: Moneyview, a financial services platform, is enhancing its offerings by introducing digital gold in partnership with CaratLane, an omni-channel jewellery brand. This collaboration aims to simplify gold investments by providing a user-friendly platform for consumers to buy, sell, and store gold digitally. Moneyview’s customers will have access to high-quality 24K gold, ensuring purity and transparency.
Gold has long been a key investment for Indians, but traditional gold investments come with high entry barriers and storage challenges. Digital gold enables fractional ownership, making it accessible to a broader audience. With a low entry ticket size, it reduces the financial burden of traditional gold investments, presenting a more appealing savings option. Moneyview and CaratLane are poised to transform the digital gold investment landscape in India, offering a reliable way to invest in this enduring asset.
Speaking about the partnership, Moneyview CBO Sushma Abburi said, “As we evolve in our multi-product journey, our mission is to provide access to different savings and investment options for our customers for them to manage and grow their finances efficiently. Our partnership with CaratLane allows us to offer a trusted and accessible gold investment option that resonates with India’s evolving digital consumers. Our partnership has come at the right time considering the festive season in India begins, a period known for increased gold investments. We are excited to provide an effortless digital gold experience, ensuring that our customers have more choices when it comes to securing their financial future. This partnership strengthens our position as a leading platform providing safe and secure investment options in one app.”
CaratLane COO Atul Sinha commented, “The whole point of building the digital gold business is to provide a simpler, cost effective solution to consumers who buy and gift gold for future jewellery purchases. Today most of such customers buy gold coins. This partnership can give those digital gold buyers an option to redeem that gold for beautiful jewellery. We feel that we can combine our capabilities and provide a wonderful experience and great value to Moneyview’s customers.”
This partnership enhances Moneyview’s SuperApp by integrating the flexibility of digital gold investments while reinforcing its commitment to providing Indians with a range of cutting-edge financial solutions under one roof.

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.
