In 2016, India was playing West Indies in a two-T20I series in Florida, a rather unusual venue for a cricket match. In the US, the game remains exotic (except among the increasing number of Indian expats, of course). So, the short form of the game was supposed to be a promotional effort. For someone watching cricket for the first time, KL Rahul would’ve stood out that day for two reasons. One: he made the most number of runs that game (116 off just 51 balls) even as his team lost by a run. Two: his hairstyle. Rahul looked more like a West Indian player with a cornrow braids.

VinFast’s entry into India is a strategic one, and it comes with real investment. The company is setting up a manufacturing facility in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, with an initial capacity of 50,000 vehicles per year, scalable to 150,000 units annually. With an investment of up to USD 500 million, this is not a soft launch—it is a full-fledged push into what is one of the world’s most promising auto markets.
