Currently, the used car market is experiencing high demand and short supply. As a consequence, the prices of second hand cars have increased. Hence, if you were planning to sell your car, it is the best time to make the most out of this seller's market. That said, Spinny's SellRight initiative can help you get the best valuation for the car you want to sell.
 
Here are a couple of the reasons why there is a rise in demand and an undersupply of used cars:
 
People are not looking to upgrade their cars 

Many car manufacturers have increased the prices of some old and upcoming car models. The hikes range anywhere between 20,000 to 80,000 rupees for many popular models. As a result, people are not that keen on upgrading their private cars. Instead, they are holding onto their vehicle for longer periods of time. With an undersupply of second hand cars in the market, car owners who are selling their car now are receiving much higher prices for their cars.
 
The waiting period for upcoming cars is increasing 

Following the lockdowns placed due to the pandemic, the production of cars has slowed down considerably. We are seeing longer waiting periods for most cars, especially popular models like XUV700, Creta, and Brezza. Since used cars are available more readily, people are able to sell their cars more quickly while still getting a good resale value for their car. This is in contrast to the norm where there were fewer used car buyers causing lower prices. With more buyers in the market, people selling their cars have been able to price their cars closer to the deserved value of the car.
 
The Prices of Second Hand Cars have Increased

As we pointed out above, used cars are high in demand and short in supply. This seller's market is benefiting a lot of car owners. It is a great opportunity for many car owners to sell cars at higher rates. If someone is looking to replace their car with a new one, they might have to wait a lot of time for its arrival. In this time period, they have enough time to get a great deal on their current car. On the other hand, the buyer might be opting for a used car since they do not want to wait for a new one. In this case, the seller might have the upper hand in the negotiation.
 
How Can I Get the Best Valuation for My Car?
 
If you want to sell car online, you should choose the right platform for the best valuation. That said, renowned second hand car retailer Spinny offers a doorstep evaluation service called SellRight that examines the condition of your car while following all the safety procedures. Along with getting a free evaluation, SellRight will value your car more than its market rate. This will allow you to sell car online for a higher amount than you intended.

Celebrating the spirit of 'Living it Large', Seagram's Royal Stag presents Royal Stag Boombox, a first-of-its-kind musical experience. It is the sound of a young generation, a tribe that tends to make rather than follow trends; a tribe that is in constant search of soul-touching experiences. In an exclusive preview in Mumbai on Monday, February 27, 2023, the brand revealed a glimpse of what's in store. Royal Stag Boombox audaciously brings together polar opposites of the music industry, the melody of Bollywood and the gully vibe of Hip-Hop, to make original music, to create a new soundscape.

For many years, music has been a key consumer engagement pillar for the brand. Today, the youth tilts towards exploring exciting new forms of music.

Contemporary genres such as hip-hop are becoming increasingly popular among the youth of the country, while Bollywood melodies remain integral to their cultural milieu. Royal Stag Boombox intends to stir the imagination of this generation, blending music they have inherited, Bollywood scores, with the genre that speaks to them, Hip Hop. This mix will have the swag and emotional heft of Hindi cinema's best compositions and the throbbing vibe and vigor of hip-hop.

This cultural movement manifests itself in two unique, engaging formats:
 
  • The in-studio format; a unique Phygital music concept featuring four original Melody x Hip Hop music tracks that will be released as singles and videos across platforms.
  • On-ground format; this format will travel to five of India's biggest youth hubs – Pune, Indore, Bhubaneswar, Manipal and Jalandhar, to offer a heady cocktail in each city, of enviable headline acts alongside food, culture and merchandise. Quite simply, a true-blue youth carnival feel that cannot be missed.
     
Commenting on the unveiling of Royal Stag Boombox, Kartik Mohindra, CMO, Pernod Ricard India, said: "Music and experience bring people together like nothing else and are natural enablers of conviviality. Royal Stag has always strived to pulse with the passion points of the youth of this country and Royal Stag Boombox is the perfect platform for the brand to connect with tomorrow's India. Royal Stag Boombox is a direct extension of the Royal Stag philosophy of "Living it Large," while offering a unique opportunity of coming together and enjoying new experiences. It has created a new soundscape by blending two exciting genres, hip-hop and melody; this might just become the new rhythm of young India!

Speaking about the launch of Royal Stag Boombox, Ajay Gupte, CEO- South Asia, Wavemaker said, "Royal Stag has always positioned itself as a youth brand and with Royal Stag Boombox - a unique and engaging musical experience designed for the young consumer, we are taking it a step further.

We are confident that Royal Stag Boombox will appeal to the music lovers of the country and will be a huge success."

Commenting on the association, Mahesh Shetty, Head – Network Sales, Viacom18, said, "Connecting with the consumers at their wavelength and creating content that resonates with them has been the core of Viacom18's DNA.  We are super kicked about our partnership with Pernod Ricard to create this new experience in the soundscape of India. Each music piece is a gem and we are confident Indian youth will be humming these tunes in the coming days."

Music composer and singer, Amit Trivedi shared his thoughts saying, "Youngsters of India love to explore new forms of music. I am thrilled to be a part of Royal Stag Boombox and this unique mix of the melody of Bollywood and the vibe of Hip Hop to offer fresh new sounds to the audience."

Singer-songwriter Armaan Malik said, "Music is no less than therapy in the right moments; it moves people and brings them together unlike anything else. I am glad to be part of Royal Stag Boombox, a music festival specially curated to spread love and joy through the medium of live music."

Excited about the association, rapper Badshah said, "I am thrilled to be associated with Royal Stag Boombox and to have the opportunity to perform for my amazing fans in Bhubaneswar, Indore, and Pune.

GenWorks Health celebrated its 9th Anniversary recently with great fervour in Bengaluru. The celebrations aptly themed "Yeh Dil Maange More" was attended by Customers, Partners, Investors and Employees.
 
Addressing the gathering in his opening note Mr S Ganesh Prasad, Founder, MD & CEO GenWorks said, "GenWorks was created to build distribution presence for GE & to enable low resource settings with solutions for Affordable access. In the beginning, we expanded distribution access and played a significant role to broad base & build our portfolio for solutions that impact prevention and early health. GenWorks, has over the years redefined its role as a customer-centric organisation, improving productivity, efficiency and clinical outcomes for our customers. At every turn, we have reinvented ourselves to serve our target segments better."
 
He further mentioned, "Covid-19 disruption exposed the gaps in Healthcare delivery across the country – fundamental to which was delivering care closer to homes. The primary healthcare system in our country was almost non-existent due to migration of specialists to larger hospitals. As a result, these larger hospitals got overwhelmed during the crisis and could not serve the surging demand. The healthcare system has now reset to the new normal, with a larger willingness to collaborate. With the growing health awareness, changing attitude towards preventive healthcare and an increasing onset of lifestyle diseases, we clearly see this as a big opportunity that GenWorks can impact for Affordable access."
 
Outlining the next steps in the formidable GenWorks journey Mr Ganesh Prasad added, "We believe Technology & Connected care will play a significant role for healthcare providers to take healthcare delivery closer to homes and diagnostics at home. This need is driven by the fact that we cannot expand physical and specialist infrastructure. 
 
As we align ourselves to support this change, GenWorks has identified the following care areas that can be a big impact.
 
Women wellness,
Critical care,
Renal care &
Oncology
 
In addition, The Government's outlook to build for healthcare infrastructure and PPP models to serve a larger population can be enabled by such collaborative models of delivery."
 
Mr Balaji RR, Co-Founder & COO GenWorks then announced partnerships across care areas. He said, "The merger with Browndove will add nephrology consumables manufacturing capability for GenWorks. This merger will help serve the highly underserved dialysis market. He also announced a strategic partnership with Renalyx mentioning that the partnership will further strengthen the Nephrology care portfolio of GenWorks. With the Browndove merger and the Renalyx partnership a one stop solution will be available to customers to enable augmentation of last mile dialysis services."
 
Mr Balaji further announced partnerships with Critical Care Hope, Panacea Medical technologies and Karkinos. He highlighted, "The Critical Care Hope partnership aligns with the goal of GenWorks to provide connected care ecosystem for access to quality healthcare and will enable strengthening the critical care network across the country. The strategic partnership with Panacea Medical technologies will ensure the availability of Make in India, state of the art radiotherapy equipment across the country. The strategic partnership with Karkinos is an important step for GenWorks to further advance the Oncology care offerings, especially in the Femtech segment."
