Chennai, June 2025 – In a rare and heartwarming display of corporate gratitude, Chennai-based tech firm Agilisium celebrated its 10th anniversary by gifting brand-new Hyundai Creta SUVs to 25 of its longest-serving employees. The surprise gesture, held during a grand event at the World Trade Centre, Chennai, left many emotional and reaffirmed the company’s people-first philosophy.
The recipients—employees who have been with Agilisium since its inception—were honored not just with cars, but with standing ovations, tearful cheers, and the admiration of over 500 team members who gathered for the milestone event.
Agilisium, known for its work in cloud data engineering and digital transformation, has grown rapidly over the past decade. But even as it expanded globally, it never lost sight of the value of its people. The company has long advocated for employee-centric policies, and this gesture took that commitment to a whole new level.
“Our people are our greatest strength,” said a visibly moved CEO of Agilisium, addressing the audience. “These 25 individuals stood by us when we were just a dream taking shape. This isn’t just a reward—it’s a thank-you for their trust, resilience, and belief in our vision.”
The Surprise Unveiling
The event was carefully orchestrated to ensure genuine surprise. Each of the 25 employees was invited on stage under the pretext of a special recognition, only to be handed the keys to a Hyundai Creta, parked outside the venue with custom ribbons and branding. Many were overwhelmed, with some moved to tears as their families joined in virtually to share the moment.
More Than Just a Car
While the Creta is a practical and premium gift, the symbolism behind it is far more powerful. It represents:
A decade of shared dreams
The journey of personal and professional growth
The road ahead for the company and its people
“This is not just about the car,” said one of the recipients. “It’s about being seen, being valued, and growing together. Agilisium has never just been a workplace—it’s been a second home.”
A Message for the Industry
At a time when tech companies often face scrutiny over retention and work culture, Agilisium’s gesture is a shining example of how loyalty, recognition, and empathy can build lasting bonds. It also sets a new benchmark for employee appreciation in the Indian tech industry.
Looking Ahead
As Agilisium steps into its second decade, it plans to scale operations globally while continuing to invest in people, innovation, and culture. The company is also expected to launch new employee development programs and expand its CSR initiatives in the coming months.
Conclusion: Agilisium’s 10th anniversary celebration wasn’t just a corporate milestone—it was a deeply emotional, human moment that captured the essence of what modern leadership and meaningful workplace culture can look like. In gifting these cars, Agilisium didn’t just honor its past—it accelerated into a future built on gratitude, trust, and shared purpose.

PANAJI: With Goa considered one of the most important markets for all automotive companies, Goans will now have access to the premium range of Brixton Motorcycles launched by MotoHaus in India. MotoHaus has also unveiled an electric scooter, Italian VLF Tennis, considering the burgeoning demand for these vehicles in the state.
MotoHaus, a venture of KAW Veloce Motors Pvt Ltd (KVMPL), as part of its nationwide expansion launched its 4th dealership in India which is in Goa, in partnership with Autozone INC. Brixton Motorcycles’ range of high-performance motorcycles includes the Crossfire 500X, Crossfire 500XC, Cromwell 1200, and Cromwell 1200X. These globally renowned motorcycles showcase exceptional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. The VLF Tennis Electric Scooter offers a practical, eco-friendly solution for urban commuters. Tushar Shelke, Managing Director, KVMPL-MotoHaus, said that for Motohaus, Goa has always been a top priority. “Our whole intention of getting these bikes to India was that we wanted to create a benchmark in terms of what we offer as a product in terms of the price, design and performance. With Motohaus coming to Goa, Goans will have access to world-class global brands at an accessible price. We have not compromised on the quality for the Indian market. The Brixton motorcycles are manufactured using foreign components. For the electric scooter, the battery, tyres and charger are sourced from local manufacturers, while the motor and controls are imported,” he said. Brixton Motorcycles caters to enthusiasts by blending versatility with modern-day safety equipment and features such as ABS, LED lighting, Brembo-powered J. Juan brake setup, fully adjustable KYB suspension and more, ideal for city commutes, touring or adventurous trails. The VLF Tennis Electric Scooter, designed for sustainable mobility, features a lightweight frame, large tyres, a removable battery, cantilever suspension and three riding modes with 130kms of range, making it an ideal choice for navigating Goa’s bustling streets while supporting the city’s sustainability goals. Elaborating on the electric scooter, he said, “There is a demand in the electric scooter market. Our electric scooter will appeal to the younger segment, both boys and girls, who want something different, and the young working-class people. There is nothing like it in the market at the moment. Our USP of the electric scooter that we have launched is its look. Most of the competitors in the market have a kind of boxy design which does not really appeal to the masses.” Shelke said MotoHaus is banking on the electric scooter’s good build quality, fit and finish to create an impact. “Our electric scooter has a removable battery which most of the competition does not offer today. It is also one of the lightest electric scooters in the market today. It’s easy to use and manoeuvre. We are the only manufacturer in India to offer a double-sided aluminium swing arm that helps to keep the weight in check. Unlike our competitors, our electric scooter focusses on features that are used on a day-to-day basis, which will reduce the servicing time,” he said. In Goa, MotoHaus is looking at a volume of 40 VLF electric scooters every month, and around 8-10 bikes for Brixton every month, he said. The servicing for the vehicles will be done at Dabolim. “At MotoHaus, we are not just expanding our footprint—we are redefining the riding experience in India. Our goal is to bring world-class two-wheelers to Indian roads, combining heritage with innovation. With every dealership we open, we are strengthening our commitment to performance, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. Goa is a key market for us, and we look forward to becoming an integral part of the city’s biking culture,” Shelke added.
MotoHaus is actively expanding its presence nationwide, with plans to open 20 new dealerships by mid-2025 in key cities including Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Mysuru, Hyderabad, Raipur, Delhi, Jaipur, and Goa. The company aims to achieve 10,000-unit sales in its first year.
