40 years. That is the journey our SUVs have taken.
40 years of creating a legacy of strength, adventure, and innovation.
Let us turn the clock back by 40 years and take a look at where this journey began. With the G-Class.
Developed first as a military vehicle, the G-Class was made available to civilians in 1979. What began as unstoppable wheels of war went on to write history. When we launched the first of our SUVs, we were sure that luxury could in fact, conquer every terrain. And our first ever SUV, the G-Class, became engineered proof of that.

While it can be both positive and negative, the negative aspect of a feedback conversation strikes most of us much more promptly.

As leaders, we often struggle to strike the right balance of giving constructive feedback without affecting the motivation levels of our teammates.

Elite Circle - Becoming A Part Of The Customer’s Life
Elite Circle - Becoming A Part Of The Customer’s Life
In the world of luxury, a customer’s association with a brand begins the moment they choose to buy the product. Well-known brands with years of legacy are easily recognizable. They are often seen as symbols of prestige and status. These products, small or big, act as conversation starters. They continue to be a part of the customer’s life even after the product is longer in use. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that customer’s relationship with a luxury brand begins with a purchase and continues as long as it manages to stay on their mind. A brand can achieve this through the experience, quality and efforts that the brand invests in maintaining the relationship.

Building Collaborative Teams
Building Collaborative Teams
The strength of any organisation lies in how well the employees work together. A couple of years ago, when we used the word ‘team’, we immediately imagined a bunch of people working together at the same place, exchanging ideas, building plans and working towards achieving collective goals. While the function and role of a team remains the same, teams are no longer a bunch of like-minded individuals with similar skillsets working together.
Becoming an Influential Leader
Becoming an Influential Leader
Warren Bennis once remarked, “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” The first step in doing this is being able to articulate the vision and do it justice while doing so. The impact that we aim to create begins with our ability to impact and motivate our teams to work towards our objectives. The same is the rationale behind the leadership of Roland Folger, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India.
Communication is the key in this scenario. It is impossible to flip through the history books and find a leader who didn’t inspire others. This skill isn’t something that you can fake or pretend to have. Any leader has to work tirelessly towards bettering their communication skills in order to be good at their job.
While each leader has their own unique style, there are some noticeable commonalities amongst those who communicate well.
