MUMBAI: In India, the land of perpetual celebrations, festivals mean one thing – shopping!
But let’s admit it, nothing dims the festive spirit faster than spotting sky-high price tags and those pesky tax add-ons.

This Christmas, Nexus Select Malls – which has outlets nationally – has unwrapped the ultimate shopping extravaganza with the Asli Happyness Wala Sale, led by Indian cinema charmer and brand ambassador Ayushmann Khurrana.

Ready to shop till you drop?
The 25-second digital film begins with Khurrana entering a mall with a friend and a disheartened child, emphasising that the asli happyness of Christmas is best experienced at Nexus Select Malls. As the film progresses, a white-gloved hand taps the child’s shoulder, and his face lights up upon seeing Santa. The film concludes on a lighthearted note as Khurrana humorously asks Santa whether his beard is real, underscoring the authenticity and fun of festive celebrations at Nexus Malls.
Speaking about the campaign, Nexus Select Malls chief marketing officer Nishank Joshi remarked, “At Nexus Select Malls, we believe happiness isn’t something you receive in a parcel. With the Asli Happyness Wala Sale, we invite our patrons to celebrate Christmas with unbeatable offers, magical in-mall experiences, and the joy of togetherness and festive vibes.”
Conceptualised by Ogilvy, the campaign positions Nexus Select Malls as the ultimate festive destination, offering discounts of up to 50 per cent on top brands alongside immersive in-mall experiences. Visitors can enjoy exclusive deals and the festive atmosphere, making Nexus Malls a perfect holiday shopping destination.

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.
