In Modern India, Rides Become Statements of Personal Identity
In Modern India, The Ride You Choose Has Become A Statement About Who You Are · businesstoday.in

In India, some young people use the things they buy to show who they are.

This idea now includes the rides they choose.

A premium car can make someone feel comfortable, calm, and confident.

It can also influence how other people see them.

Green SM offers premium electric seven-seater rides with trained drivers and clean interiors.

The company says these features are part of a larger experience.

Its CEO says customers are choosing how they want to show up in the world.

The article suggests that status is moving from owning expensive things to choosing better experiences.
