    Drivex rides home with heartwarming Diwali campaign

    MUMBAI: Drivex, India’s pioneering pre-owned two-wheeler brand, has launched a touching new campaign, Ride Back Home, celebrating the spirit of togetherness, gratitude, and the emotional pull of returning home for Diwali.

    Dedicated to those who work away from their families, the campaign honours the journeys that people take to build a better life. For Drivex, a two-wheeler isn’t just transport; it’s a bridge between distance and belonging.

    “In a season filled with gifts and glitter, we wanted to celebrate something deeper, the joy of going home,” said Drivex head of marketing Vipin Yadav. “Diwali is about moments of connection. Every ride tells a story, and this campaign celebrates those that lead us back to where we truly belong – home.”

    To spread the festive spirit further, Drivex has also introduced Light Up With Drivex, a social initiative inviting people to recognise everyday heroes who make life brighter. Participants are encouraged to tag someone they believe truly deserves a scooter and share, in one heartfelt line, why that person deserves to win, whether for their kindness, hard work, or selfless spirit. One deserving participant will receive a Drivex TVS Jupiter worth Rs 85,000, symbolising how one thoughtful gesture can light up many lives.

    Drivex director Narain Karthikeyan added, “As Diwali approaches, many wish to go home but are held back by costly travel or tight schedules. Sometimes, all it takes is two wheels and a bit of determination to close that distance. With Ride Back Home, we’re celebrating the power of mobility to connect hearts.”

    Running through October 31, the campaign invites India to celebrate connection over consumption and reminds everyone that sometimes, the brightest light isn’t found under the lamps, it’s found at the end of the road home.

    DriveX shifts gears with Vipin Yadav as head of marketing

    MUMBAI: Marketing in the fast lane, DriveX puts Vipin Yadav in the driver’s seat. DriveX Mobility, the TVS Motor Company–backed disruptor in India’s booming pre-owned two-wheeler market, has turbocharged its leadership by appointing Vipin Yadav as Vice President and head of marketing. With over 17 years of experience building consumer brands, Yadav’s arrival signals a clear intent: to take the DriveX brand from showroom to stardom.

    In his new role, Yadav will spearhead omnichannel marketing, brand strategy, digital innovation and customer engagement key ingredients in DriveX’s vision to scale up to 500 outlets by 2027.

    Before hitching a ride with DriveX, Yadav was the marketing director at Hisense India and head of marketing at Toshiba TV. But his longest and perhaps most high-octane stint was with OPPO India, where he played a pivotal role in building the brand’s identity and accelerating market share during its growth sprint.

    “This is more than marketing. It’s about reimagining trust in a segment that’s ripe for disruption,” said Yadav. “DriveX isn’t just selling refurbished two-wheelers. It’s crafting a bold new mobility experience and I’m here to make sure India hears that story.”

    Known for balancing creativity with data, Yadav has contributed to marketing forums and jury panels, while also sharing his insights at institutions like IIT Delhi and Symbiosis Pune. He holds dual MBAs in Marketing from International Management Institute (Europe) and the Indian Institute of Planning & Management, alongside a Bachelor’s in Commerce from the University of Delhi.

    Welcoming him aboard, DriveX founder & director Narain Karthikeyan said, “Vipin understands the pulse of Indian consumers and knows how to convert insight into impact. His leadership will be crucial as we scale operations and deepen our connect with riders across the country.”

    With the Indian mobility space revving up, Yadav’s entry at DriveX feels less like a pitstop and more like a high-speed overtaking manoeuvre one that’s aimed squarely at pole position.
