Mumbai, India – March 07, 2025: Over the past few decades, women in India have achieved remarkable milestones. Taking the front seat—both in their cars and in driving change, society has witnessed a powerful shift.

This transformation is reflected in a recent report by Spinny, India’s leading full-stack used car platform, which highlights a significant rise in women car buyers. In 2024, women made up 26% of Spinny’s customer base, a substantial increase from 16% in 2023. Notably, by March 2025, this number surged to 46%, signaling growing confidence among women in purchasing used cars and reshaping automotive preferences and societal norms.

What do women want?

60% of women buyers prefer automatic hatchbacks for their ease of use, while 18% opt for compact SUVs. Top models include the Renault Kwid, Hyundai Grand i10, and Maruti Suzuki Swift. Delhi-NCR leads with 48% of women buyers, followed by Mumbai at 46%, Bengaluru at 41%, and Pune at 39%. Non-metro cities like Lucknow and Jaipur also show a 20% growth in women buyers. The average age of women buyers ranges between 30 to 40 years, reflecting a trend of young professionals investing in personal vehicles.

Emphasizing the transformative impact of this trend, Niraj Singh, CEO and Founder of Spinny, stated, “We believe it’s a woman’s world, and we are celebrating this with a special discount for women buyers. Over the years, women have made up an average of over 32% of our car buyers, and we remain committed to increasing this number.“

In the spirit of consistency, from March 7 to March 9, Spinny is rolling out special offers for women—whether they’re buying, selling, or upgrading their car. Women buyers can enjoy discounts of up to ₹1,00,000, while one lucky woman seller wins ₹5,000 every day. This initiative not only celebrates women’s car owners but also empowers them to make independent automotive choices.

The increasing number of women purchasing cars reflects a broader societal shift towards financial independence and breaking traditional norms.

With women buyers reshaping the automotive landscape, Spinny remains committed to fostering a more inclusive, transparent, and seamless car-buying experience. As more women take the wheel both literally and figuratively their preferences are driving a revolution in the industry, emphasizing trust, convenience, and personalization. Spinny continues to champion this shift, ensuring that every customer finds a car that truly matches their journey.

7 March 2025, India – Simply Fresh, the flagship edible oil brand of BN Group, is celebrating Women’s Day with a powerful new video campaign that challenges outdated stereotypes and encourages a fresh perspective on gender equality. Aligning with its broader #RakhoIraadeFresh campaign, the video highlights the importance of breaking biases and embracing an open mindset toward women in all roles.

Speaking about the campaign, Kiran Giradkar, CMO, BN Group, said, “At Simply Fresh, we believe that progress begins with a fresh perspective. Women excel in every field, yet stereotypes continue to hold them back. Through this campaign, we aim to inspire conversations around gender equality and encourage people to rethink their biases.

March 7, 2025:Women’s Day is more than just a celebration, it’s an opportunity to honor the incredible women who bring joy, laughter, and unwavering support. With Women’s Day falling on a weekend, it’s the perfect time to relax, recharge, and embark on an adventure. Whether it’s a cozy night in, a weekend getaway, or an active day out, the right outfit can set the tone for a memorable experience.
Here’s a guide to the perfect Women’s Day outfit because these styles aren’t just for one day, but for celebrating women in every moment, every day.

A laid-back movie date with the girl gang calls for an outfit that blends comfort with ease. Wide leg pants paired with an oversized tee, or a cute crop top creates a flattering look, perfect for a trendy day wear. The loose, breathable fit of the pants ensures unrestricted movement, be it for mid-move stretch or to sprint to the popcorn counter in style.
For a Weekend Getaway: Relaxed Fit Shorts

For those planning a weekend getaway with friends, whether it’s a road trip, a beach escape, or a city adventure, make sure to pack a classic pair of khaki shorts! These versatile shorts are perfect for embracing both style and practicality. Pair them with a lightweight tee or layer with a shirt for a look that’s stylish, breathable, and ready for any spontaneous adventure.
For a Brunch Date: Classic Oversized T-Shirt

Comfort should always be on the menu when it comes to a brunch hangout! An oversized tee, tucked into high-waisted baggy jeans or paired with flowy pants creates an effortlessly put-together look. To add a lively touch to the look, go for vibrant colors or playful prints.

For those looking to move, groove, and celebrate with their friends, breathable activewear that ensures freshness through every yoga pose, dance move, and HIIT session is essential. A well-fitted workout tee that wicks away sweat helps maintain all-day freshness while matching workout leggings further enhance ease of movement.
For a Creative DIY Night: Graphic Printed T-Shirt

Choose a sustainable style for a hands-on night! An evening of painting, baking, or crafting calls for an outfit that feels relaxed yet expressive. A graphic printed t-shirt, made from eco-friendly fabric, adds personality to the look while giving a subtle nod to the conscious choices. Team it up with wide-leg pants or yoga pants to have comfort and ease of movement by side. Whether it’s decorating cupcakes or creating vision boards, this combination makes for a fun and stylish look.
In the end, Women’s Day is a reminder to celebrate the strength, beauty, and unique contributions of every woman—something that should be celebrated every day, not just on this occasion. No matter how one chooses to mark the day, whether over brunch, a creative DIY night, or a fun workout, the right outfit keeps one comfy and stylish, ensuring every moment feels effortless, joyful, and full of love.

March 7, 2025: Choosing the right mentor for preparation for CUET (Common University Entrance Test) is essential for structured and successful study. A mentor provides a customized study plan based on a student’s strengths and weaknesses, guiding them through difficult topics with expert advice. They help students develop exam strategies, manage time efficiently, and offer motivational support to keep them focused. In addition, mentors provide access to key resources, conduct mock tests, and deliver expert feedback. These combined efforts enhance the student’s confidence, leading to improved performance in the CUET exam.

• Personalized Study Approach: Every student learns differently. A mentor assesses strengths and weaknesses, helping craft a personalized plan that ensures targeted learning. This ensures that weak areas are improved while building on strengths.

• Expert Knowledge and Experience: An experienced mentor with an in-depth understanding of CUET’s syllabus and structure provides valuable insights on important topics, common pitfalls, and subject selection strategies. This guidance helps students tackle the exam more effectively and confidently.

• Time Management Skills: Navigating CUET requires more than knowledge—it demands smart time management. A mentor helps students organize their study schedules and teaches them how to approach the exam with a strategic mindset. This ensures that they complete the paper within the given time frame while maintaining accuracy.

• Consistent Feedback and Improvement: Regular mock tests and evaluations are crucial for CUET success. A mentor offers consistent feedback, highlights areas for improvement, and tracks progress. This ongoing evaluation ensures that students remain on the right path and continuously refine their preparation.

• Emotional Support and Motivation: Preparing for an entrance exam like CUET can be mentally exhausting. A mentor serves as both a guide and a source of emotional support, offering encouragement during challenging times and helping students maintain focus and a positive attitude. This motivational boost can be the difference between feeling overwhelmed and staying confident.

While choosing the right mentor is crucial for CUET’s success, it’s equally important to follow proven strategies for effective preparation. Maintaining a consistent study routine, revising key concepts regularly, and solving mock tests and previous year’s papers help reinforce your learning and boost your confidence. With expert guidance and strategic planning, you can develop time management skills, strengthen weaker areas, and approach the exam with a clear mind, ensuring a higher chance of success on exam day.
