An innovative seed that was sown in 2008 germinated well and became the cornerstone and set new standards for the payments industry.  “Think of us as a ‘bank in a box,’ able to take care of as much of your payments infrastructure as you need,” asserts Dr. Sailesh Sewpaul, an adaptable and highly experienced IT professional cum e-Banking and Retail Banking Business Strategist with expertise in electronic banking from both a technical and business perspective.

The Beginning…

PEX: a new standard in the digital payment landscape

Clearing the clouds in the high-growing market, chaotic world of digital payments, and their unique set of payment challenges and opportunities, PEX has taken concrete strategic steps with a scientific approach to resolve tomorrow’s payment challenges today. The advanced technology at PEX powers end-to-end payments across the world’s fastest-growing markets and inspires confidence in the consumer experience.

After being fully interoperable with leading payment systems like Visa, MasterCard, and UnionPay, PEX’s payments architecture allows businesses to reach out to their end customers with their branded services. It links with a bank’s internal system and caters to their needs for the payment gateway and clearing services.

With its EMV compliant systems, PEX creates a smooth way where banks can offer their clients and partners world-class transaction security and data traceability. Recently, the company has collaborated with the ABC Banking Corporation and UnionPay International to launch a Diamond debit card, allowing high-end customers to enjoy secure and technically sophisticated banking experiences along with access to exclusive privileges.

PEX has achieved the feat of building its own payment gateway, leveraged by banks and payment service providers for e-commerce processing and to acquire merchants’ processing. It also lets banks do transactions from the ATMs, the Point-of-Sale, and e-commerce applications and provide end customers with an omnichannel experience. The firm has developed their own mobile POS solution which is VISA, Mastercard, and UPI-certified and features switching, transaction authorization, and fraud prevention.  It supports both contact and contactless payments. . Furthermore, PEX provides mobile-based, card-control facilities, which allow a customer to switch on or switch off their EMV card based on the transaction he or she needs to do. . This facilitates a crucial security feature in case a card gets stolen as the client has full control of how the card is used for transactions. Apart from hand-holding their clients until they understand the whole process and explaining the best practices, the payment experts at PEX offer comprehensive support and training to the client’s technical teams.

The Driving Force

Dr. Sailesh attributes his success to the hard-working dedication of his team. It’s been a collaborative effort and all have worked tirelessly to build and maintain our industry reputation whilst simultaneously focusing on providing excellent customer service. Secondly, we thrive on feedback and a desire to improve.  Staying ahead of the game means we must pay attention to the needs of our customers, meeting and discussing solutions and then following this up with strong communication, reliability, dedication and commitment.

Nilo T. Divina: Leading the Legal Industry with Exemplary Insights

A distinguished personality, Nilo T. Divina is a seasoned Corporate and Banking Lawyer with rich experience from more than three decades in the industry. He founded DivinaLaw in 2006 and worked meticulously towards the growth and development of the firm. With his determination and competency, DivinaLaw stands today as one of the biggest law firms in the Philippines.

Before he entered private law practice, Nilo was the former Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary of a leading Philippine bank. Nilo is equally active with his roles in the academic forefront, serving as the Dean of the Faculty of Civil Law of the University of Santo Tomas from 2009 to the present. He also teaches at the University of the Philippines College of Law. He was formerly president and chairman of the Philippine Association of Law Schools.

Nilo is the author of five Commercial Law books which serve as primary resource material for law students and lawyers alike. Recognized for his exceptional work, Nilo became one of the top 10 highly recommended lawyers in the inaugural list of Asian Legal Business (ALB) Philippines Client Choice Lawyers 2021. He has also consistently been named among the Top 100 Lawyers in the Philippines by the Asia Business Law Journal since 2018.

With sheer dedication and excellent performance, he was recently recognized as Managing Partner of the Year in the 2021 Asian Legal Business (ALB) Philippine Law Awards in a virtual ceremony held last November 19, 2021. Asian Legal Business magazine, a leading legal publication owned by Thomson Reuters, received more than 270 entries for the competition which was evaluated by a panel of judges from the legal academia, in-house lawyers, firms, and legal associations in the region.

Nilo received this award in recognition of his leadership, professional accomplishments, community development initiatives, and his contribution to the firm, the Bench and Bar, and the general public.

Turning a Childhood Dream into a Lifelong Reality

Nilo wanted to be a lawyer as early as the age of six. There was no other profession for him except to be a lawyer. Nilo’s source of motivation was his dad. His dad told him that being a lawyer was an ideal profession for him as he loves to talk, discuss, be in front of crowds, and more. His dad told him, ‘perhaps you are meant to be a lawyer’.

“Of course, we do not know what life would present along the way. So many opportunities presented themselves along the way but what is clear to me is that at the very outset, I knew what I wanted in life, I wanted to become a lawyer,” said Nilo.

“My vision is that I want to be the best lawyer that I can be, not necessarily the best lawyer in the Philippines, but the best lawyer I can be, given the talent and the skills that God has given me.”

A Journey to the Forefront

When he established the firm in 2006, Nilo never expected that within 15 years, it will become one of the biggest law firms in the country. All he envisioned was to establish a boutique law firm that would focus on select areas of practice and make enough money to live a comfortable life.

However, opportunities came one after the other and before he knew it, the boutique law firm metamorphosed into a full-service law firm.

About DivinaLaw

It is a full-service law firm in the Philippines that provides prompt, proactive, and results-oriented service to ensure client satisfaction. The firm offers depth and range in experience and resources while fostering a professional and collaborative work ethic.

The firm’s 10 major practice areas are Litigation, Corporate & Special Projects, Labor, Arbitration & Alternative Dispute Resolution, Tax, and Estate Planning, Intellectual Property, Immigration and Naturalization, E-Commerce & Technology, Risk & Crisis Management, and Legal Education, Legislative Advocacy & Policy Reform.

A Top-Notch Client Base 

DivinaLaw clients belong to the top echelon – business leaders and titans. These industry experts refer DivinaLaw to their peers, which is why the firm’s clients are conglomerates, top corporations, and high net worth individuals.

The firm has a wide range of clients, including leading corporates in banking and finance, manufacturing, retail, power, oil and gas, education, health care and insurance, realty and property development, technology, construction, hospitality, mining, transportation, shipping, and media.

Standing out amongst the Peers

Dynamic Lawyering encapsulates the philosophy of the firm. DivinaLaw will do everything necessary within the bounds of ethics to deliver outstanding results to its clients, to make them happy, smiling, and victorious. So, the firm focuses on innovating, thinking out of the box, and exploring uncharted territory. The firm believes in finding ways, opening doors, seeking solutions, and more. Client satisfaction is the burning passion of the organization.

“Back in 2006, this was fairly novel because many law firms were into, and I suppose they still are, the traditional approach. Lawyers should tell you what the law is. We will tell you what the law is, and how we can use the law to suit your objectives consistent with the law. We find solutions for the clients. We don’t just tell the clients what the law is, but we tell them there’s a legal and ethical way of finding solutions.”

Moments of Triumph 

Inspired by the quote, “Work as if everything depends on work, but also pray as if everything depends on prayer.”

DivinaLaw started with 80 cases and four clients in 2006. Today, it is handling almost 3,000 cases and has hundreds of clients. From having only five lawyers (including Atty. Divina), today the firm has 80 lawyers. Over the years, it has received recognition for its exceptional work in law. Here are a few of them:

  • The Asia Business Law Journal has recognized DivinaLaw as an award-winning firm in the categories of Banking and Finance, Corporate and Commercial, Litigation, Private Equity and Venture Capital, and Restructuring and Insolvency in 2020
  • Immigration Law Firm of the Year in 2018 in the Asian Legal Business Philippine Law Awards
  • Recognized as the Labor and Employment Law Firm of the Year in 2016 by ALB
  • The firm is ranked among the best in the region, honored as a finalist for the SE Asia Law Firm of the Year category of Asian Legal Business Southeast Asia Law Awards in 2018 and 2019
  • It was also a finalist for Regional Litigation Law Firm of the Year in 2018 and 2019, and Tax and Trusts Law Firm of the Year in 2019
  • Employer of Choice for 2018, 2019 & 2021 from Asian Legal Business magazine
  • Data Privacy Law Firm — Silver Award in the 2019 Datos Privados Awards of the National Association of Data Protection Officers of the Philippines
  • Silver Anvil, 54th Anvil Awards of the Public Relations Society of the Philippines

The Path to Cover Ahead

DivinaLaw continues to innovate. It has recently organized a financial advisory company. The firm intends to create a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities that the Financial Institution Strategic Transfer (FIST) law is likely to bring. This law allows banks and financial institutions to dispose of their bad loans and assets to an SPV for a large-scale discount. It is investing in technology and has many more projects in the pipeline. With an active presence and aiming towards a bright future, the firm does not intend to run out of trailblazing initiatives.

Serge Martinod & Pharmabbie: Accelerating the Quality Life of Pets with Efficacious and Palatable Medications

While there are many inspiring success stories of business leaders and trailblazers, this article narrates the success story of Serge Martinod, who established Pharmabbie Inc.

A unique initiative that develops pharmaceuticals for dogs and other pets, prioritizing the quality of life for pets through efficacious and palatable medications. Their mission is to develop a top-quality product portfolio that serves the needs of pet owners and veterinarians alike. Established in the year 2020, Pharmabbie operates as a semi-virtual company with a network of consultants and contract organizations

Their patented innovation comes from the delivery systems. Their products are very palatable like a treat and pets love them. But they also meet the strict standards of the FDA for pharmaceuticals.

Dr.-Serge Martinod: The Man Behind the Brand

An innovative leader and an accomplished veterinarian with 35 years of expertise developing products for animal health, including more than 15 years with market leaders such as Pfizer, SmithKline Beecham, and Ciba Geigy.

He made significant contributions to the regulatory licensing of more than 20 products for companion animals and livestock in the U.S., Europe, and Japan – helping generate hundreds of million dollars in revenue.

His rich career is rooted in the creation and management of start-up companies including Smart Drug Systems, Arcanatura, TNG Pharmaceuticals, and Jaguar Animal Health (JAGX), Dr. Martinod is tapping into his experience and network to continue improving the lives of pets.

Clientele & Corporate Ethos

PharmAbbie has several tiers of clients: first tier, the animals and they keep them happy by providing drugs that taste and feel like treats. The second tier is the owners and their satisfaction come from changing the dreadful pill time into treat time, reinforcing the bond with their companion. In the third tier, the veterinarians for them, improving the success rate of therapies by guaranteeing compliance with the treatment schedule. Finally, the fourth tiers are the animal health companies selling pharmaceuticals, they provide them with ready-to-market high-quality products. Remember if your dog or cat do not bite your fingers when you give him    or her a pill you are going to be a customer for life.

Major Hurdles & the Driving Force on the Way

Pharmabbie is the result of the spin-off from another company so we can focus our time and resources on one technology with application on many products

The primary challenges are (i) obtaining FDA approval and (ii) securing funding to support product development.

Hard work is the main driving force behind Serge’s successful journey. Other factors that lead him to grow include taking risks, learning from experience, trying to work smart.

Creating a Balanced & Equal Industry

Break paradigms, you cannot win if you do what all the others are doing. Focus on your strengths and hire people to handle your weaknesses. Innovate all the time but be realistic about what you can achieve. Never overpromise!

A Day in the Visionary’s Life & Hobbies

His day begins with breakfast watching the morning news with several cups of espresso, then checking the emails to see what came during the night either from Europe or Asia and answering those emails, showering, going to the office. There are usually several conference calls or Zoom with collaborators or investors, lunch at the desk with more emails, then later in the day working on a dossier and writing documents. Usually, late dinner and one last check at email, or researching databases. Going to bed late watching the late-night news. Pretty much the same routine every day 7 days a week.

Dr Martinod loves to do skiing, sailing, reading good books, and gastronomy but he has little time for hobbies with his current workload.

From the Founder’s Desk

The major reason behind choosing this career was to leave private practice where we treat one animal at a time to join the industry to find solutions that can help millions of animals. It is the possibility of making a big difference that influences my career.

First and foremost professionally I am a veterinarian and proud of it. Although I do not practice anymore I still consider myself as a clinician and a scientist finding solutions to help the pets and their owners. I work slow and steady but I am not afraid of taking risks or innovating.

Favourite Book

Growing up in France, Serge Martinod is inspired by French literature. “L’Étranger” ( the stranger) by Albert Camus. It is a book about the philosophy of the absurd, the complexity of human emotions and behaviours, and how some events out of our control can change our lives completely. Once you start reading the book you cannot stop!

Future Roadmap

Under the dynamic leadership of Serge Martinod has accomplished a lot. Now, it has a lot more to achieve- getting the first FDA approval, licensing products to larger companies for commercialisation, finding more efficient ways to develop new products. Their goal is to bring a portfolio of products to the market to make a difference in the health care of the animals and then enjoy life to the fullest.

Achievements & Milestones

The major milestones were to obtain Intellectual property, successfully scale up the manufacturing to a commercial level, obtain concurrence on the protocols for the 2 last pivotal studies from FDA, complete a Series A financing during the pandemic.

A Piece of Advice for Female Entrepreneurs

Female power is the future in business and certainly in the pharmaceutical industry. Never accept less than men, there could be some obstacles but you are already weaning.  You work harder and smarter than most men and you make most of the buying decisions in most markets so you actually know better. Take risks and innovate.

Zack Blakeney: Capitalizing Expertise and Passion To Help Leaders Maximize their Potential at Invincible Intelligence

In 2019, a visionary took the entrepreneurial plunge with Invincible Intelligence LLC, a unique and innovative blend of science-based methodology, consciousness, and accountability that quickly shifts your limiting perceptions and rapidly accelerates the development of your emotional intelligence and authentic habitual alignment.

Among the few pioneers to bring innovation in the industry, Zack Blakeney has been graciously awarded as one of the best influences on the Austin, Texas health community by Austin Fit Magazine. He has also been recognized by Fox, NBC, and CBS for his work with business leaders and founders.

He is the CEO of Invincible Intelligence and works as a peak performance and consciousness coach, published author and accomplished public speaker. His mission is to help raise the collective consciousness of the world by guiding business leaders, founders, and businesses to develop emotional intelligence to master their emotions and navigate through change efficiently and effectively.

Empowering Entrepreneurs & Businesses

There are two verticals that they serve in both B2C and B2B.

For B2C, Zack Blakeney works 1-on-1 with the support of his team to guide leaders and founders to maximize their potential and create sustainable balance with their Freedom 4 Framework: Physical, Emotional, Relational, and Financial. They provide one of the most in-depth analyses of their client’s current state using their proprietary Invincible Intelligence© Assessment, hormone, cell, and metabolic testing, and gut intelligence testing. We use this data to create one of the most in-depth and truly personalized programs that unlock their peak performance and maximum potential.

For B2B, they package their Invincible Intelligence© Assessment and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) coursework for HR Departments to optimize their hiring process for the best candidate selection, team EQ discovery, and team workshops to foster emotional intelligence development.

What Influenced Your Decision to be an Author?

“Writing stimulates my version of the flow state. It allows me to express myself fully and truthfully and unlocks new understandings of myself and my teachings. I also enjoy the challenge of creating consumable analogies for complex concepts and offering perceptions that can create instantaneous understandings and, in some cases, healing”, said Mr Blakeney.

Clientele & Unbreakable Faith

The visionary works 1-on-1 with business leaders and founders and he finds it both challenging and fulfilling. He creates the opportunity for his clients to achieve an invincible self-belief from his own certainty while showing up for them consistently with love, truth, and my intention to serve them to the best of his ability. His passion for emotional intelligence and personal development drives him to continuously learn, teach new relevant concepts, and stay ahead of the game.

Major Hurdles & The Driving Force

The biggest challenge was overcoming Zack’s own pride and trusting his team to do the tasks he no longer needed to do. He told them when he brought them on he only wanted to create content, coach, and do deals and they have stepped up to the plate to make that happen for him. He is so incredibly grateful for his life because he gets to wake up every day doing what he loves, with the people he loves.

For Zack Blakeney, it’s been a journey to discover his authentic self, as it is for all. It was filled with a string of painful experiences stimulating from addiction to substances and porn that ultimately led to a divorce. He learned so much from the emotional intensity of these experiences that granted him the vision to know what he wants, and who he wants alongside him. He has had many mentors in his life across business, mindset, and spirituality that have given him the guidance and permission to be the man he is today.

Creating a Balanced and Equal Industry

The leading man does not believe the industries should be balanced and equal because it’s not about the industries, it’s about the people in them. It is his belief that there is more than enough for all to succeed. Infinite resources are available to anyone wanting to live their purpose and passion, but many do not recognise this. Instead, they allow fear, uncertainty, and doubt to imprison them into limiting beliefs that contribute to the imbalance industries. In order to create balance in the industries, they must create balance within themselves first.

A Day in Zack Blakeney’s Life

He wakes up at 5:30 am every morning and immediately drinks 16 oz of ice-cold water to wake up, then he takes his two dogs out and enjoys some fresh air. After he comes in and starts his meditation with morning devotion to the Creator, practice singleness of thought, set his intentions for his day, and give gratitude for his life. Then he hits the gym for a little over an hour, eats breakfast, and begins looking over his schedule to create priorities and affirm his intentions. Most of Zack’s workday is filled with communicating with his team, coaching clients, creating content, and creating strategic connections and partnerships. He ends his day by reviewing his tasks and looking ahead to the next day and week to ensure he knows his priorities and direction for the next day.

Favourite Book

Zack’s go-to book for his clients because of the sustainable impact it made on his life is Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza

Road Ahead

“We find ourselves in a market with emotional intelligence that is an immediate need and desire by businesses, but sorely under-resourced. I believe we are in the next phase of business evolution that has come from the technology and internet integration of the late ’90s and early 2000s. This integration has created a need for greater empathy, compassion, and trust in both company cultures and with customers. We are most excited about developing our proprietary technology that will house our Invincible Intelligence© Assessment and EQ position-specific courses to support emotional intelligence development in organizations, specifically for non-supervisory roles”, Zack Blakeney further apprised.

A Piece of Advice for Female Entrepreneurs

Do not sacrifice your feminine energy to conform to the predominantly masculine marketplace. Your intuition and empathy are superpowers needed now more than ever to create sustainable change that fosters a new standard of business excellence with trust and transparency leading the way.

Ways For Building a Brand Through Social Media Platforms

Building a personal brand on social media requires time and effort (consider how much time and effort it takes to become instafamous!). However, if done correctly, you may get your next employment chance or facilitate the formation of vital contacts. Continue reading to learn 10 methods to ensure your internet branding is effective.

Social media has developed into a significant contact route between consumers and the companies that service them. It has its own set of laws, and brand builders who want to flourish on social media must be familiar with them. However, if a firm adheres to the social media success rules, social media is one of the largest, most powerful, and most accessible venues for brand growth.

As a result, if you want to reach today’s customers, you must establish your e-commerce brand on social media. You’ll position your company for success by increasing brand exposure, follower count, expanding consumer contact options, and adding tremendous value to news feeds.

Select the appropriate platforms.

Not every social networking site is equal. Twitter is more conversational, making it ideal for disseminating industry news or brand-related subjects. Facebook is comparable to Twitter but caters to an older demographic. As a visual company, we’ve discovered that Instagram is our sweet spot for sharing our work and connecting with brands, journalists, and clients. The trick is to choose a platform that can help you raise your profile and link you with your ideal audience.

Create a distinct brand voice. 

Assure that the photographs and material you provide are consistent with your brand’s style and imagery. Consider it a toolkit for advertising and maintain it consistent across all channels.

Make regular posts. 

Publish often to maintain engagement with your readers. #We aim to post twice a week on Instagram, but we post virtually every day through IG stories to keep connected with our fans.

Create visually captivating content.

Utilize picture editing programmes like Snapped to enhance your feed’s coherence, polish, and professionalism.

Create a hashtag that is unique to you.

It provides an additional means for others to discover and share your work. Conduct research and design a unique hashtag. On Instagram, your primary feed should serve as a picture of your business as a whole. Use Instagram stories to showcase other companies, talent, and things you care about. Don’t forget to tag the business, designer, and photographer to gain more followers.

Keep your professional and personal lives separate.

Unless you are a celebrity brand advertising your way of life, it is best to keep the two distinct and focus on your brand messaging.

Connect with influencers

Follow all of the industry’s influencers and engage in meaningful online conversations with them. To grab their attention, leave comments and likes on their postings. Additionally, you may post about their work and tag them. You may use direct messages to initiate contact, but be courteous and reach out once.

Optimize the Page of Your Social Media Profile

Often, your company profile page serves as your brand’s initial impression. Optimize your profile page by giving information about what provides you with a modest competitive advantage in your sector. Indicate your brand’s mission, how to contact you, and the website where customers may get further information. Consider putting a landing page with your link in return for a gift (discount or voucher) or content offer. Because lead generation is critical to the success of your organization, your bio page may help you accomplish this aim.

Remember to Be Social!

Simply publishing information and hoping for traction is insufficient to promote interaction. While you may initially get some answers, this will rapidly diminish if you are not involved with your following. As previously said, individuals use social media to be…well, social! They, like you, like seeing likes and comments on their postings. Therefore, be responsive by engaging your audience in order to humanize your business and strengthen connections. The good news is that being sociable is very easy. To begin, use the following simple strategies:

Like, comment, and share the material of your followers.

Communicate with consumers through direct messaging. Demonstrate gratitude for a recent order, get their opinion on a particular issue, or offer assistance in achieving their objectives.

Quickly respond to comments.

Mention followers in exchange for a post that includes your brand’s hashtag.

Come Alive!

Did you know that, according to Social Media Today, consumers spend three times as much time viewing live videos as they do watch prepared videos? Facebook Live, Instagram Stories, and Periscope contribute significantly to social media engagement. They’re attracting so much attention that Facebook now prioritizes live videos in news feeds.

Make the most of these applications. Organize live Q&A sessions to allow your fans to interact with you in real-time and get rapid replies. Take viewers behind the scenes, allowing them to experience your brand’s culture firsthand. Alternatively, take advantage of the chance to spotlight a product of the week.The key line: be innovative and often stream live videos to capitalize on this effortless engagement.

Carry out the task yourself. 

We manage our social media accounts so that our voice is consistent online, in DMs, and when we meet in person. Maintaining control of your social media channels is preferable for a more genuine voice.

Use it for non-traditional forms of communication that benefit your business.

Customer service and assistance through social media are becoming more crucial. When consumers have a positive or negative experience with a company, they quickly go to social media to share their feelings with potentially millions of other people. The benefit of social media’s rise to prominence as a venue for consumer feedback is that companies can now examine interactions from delighted or disgruntled customers. This is an unprecedented chance to publicly express gratitude to a satisfied customer or resolve an unhappy customer’s issue. By doing so, you may show to many additional consumers and prospects that your brand is committed to customer satisfaction.

Using social media to build your e-commerce business is an excellent approach to increasing brand visibility, expanding your following, and stimulating sales. This guide will assist you in developing and refining your social marketing brand strategy. Social media will establish itself as a legitimate medium for expanding your brand and enhancing your bottom line with sufficient regularity.

The top 10 largest airports in the world in 2021

Airports are the most often used gateways between countries for travellers who begin their flight trip. Aviation hubs offer infrastructure for planes, manage immigration and cargo, and serve as a destination for thousands of tourists each year. Over the years, ever-increasing passenger numbers have resulted in many congested airports. Due to the difficulty of cramming all passengers into one facility and parking all aircraft in one location, governments began expanding their aviation hubs with additional terminals and runways.

The following are the world’s biggest airports, each of which can handle thousands of passengers and land hundreds of aircraft daily. Take a look at the list of the world’s top ten biggest airports by area in 2021.

Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) 32,4 square kilometres

Suvarnabhumi International Airport is Southeast Asia’s most significant international airport.

Nexon, Venue, and Sonet Rivalry in the 2022 Maruti Brezza New Generation SUV Spied

The debut of the next-generation Maruti Brezza is planned to take place later in the year; it will replace the existing Brezza.

The Maruti Brezza sub-4 meter SUV, introduced in 2016, has always been a popular choice among buyers. On the other hand, the level of rivalry in the category has improved by leaps and bounds in latest years, and Maruti cannot afford to rest on its laurels. With the introduction of new SUVs in the market – such as the Nexon, Sonet, Venue, and even the Kiger and Magnate – the Brezza has become a little obsolete. The features it provides are impressive in terms of appearance and functionality.

Maruti Suzuki India is fully aware of this and has been working on the next-generation Brezza for quite some time. The 2022 Maruti Brezza New Generation has been spotted for the first time out on the road, indicating that the automaker is on track to launch the vehicle sometime early in the following year. Automobile enthusiast Puneet Bhatia saw it while being tested under extensive camouflage, and he reported it to the authorities.

Maruti Brezza New Generation – Exterior style for 2022

The Maruti Vitara Brezza prototype for the next generation was severely camouflaged to conceal its production-ready body panels. While lacking the headlamps, grille, and taillight clusters that will eventually be installed, the mule offers us a solid indication of what to expect from the exterior design. Told, the exterior appearance of the new Brezza will be an extension of the design language of the existing model.

There are no striking surfaces on the tiny crossover SUV, maintaining its proportioned and boxy shape. Extensive greenhouse space and a substantial C-pillar are only two of the numerous features that are slightly modified. The Venue competitor will feature radically restyled front and rear fascias to better reflect the brand’s new design philosophy.

Interior of the Maruti Brezza New Generation in 2022

However, while the spy film does not provide a comprehensive interior view, we expect Maruti to carry out a thorough redesign to keep up with the times. Customers considering purchasing the crossover would appreciate a clean dashboard dominated by a large touchscreen display. On the other hand, improvements in packing and storage are also expected to be implemented shortly.

The next-generation Maruti Vitara Brezza will have a more extensive standard features list. It is also projected to move slightly up the market shortly when it comes to positioning. Multiple airbags, complete infotainment, connectivity suite, automatic climate control, and better material quality will make it a compelling purchase.

Safety considerations and engine specifications

Based on an improved version of Baleno’s modular architecture, the next-generation Maruti Vitara Brezza is predicted to be more powerful than the current generation model. We are hopeful that this will result in a 5-star crash test rating (the current model has a 4-star rating in Global-NCAP tests).

When it comes to engine options, Maruti is expected to stick with the smooth 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine that is paired to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission that drives the front wheels. On the other hand, the SHVS mild-hybrid system will likely be updated to a 48-volt system shortly. This would result in enhanced driveability as well as improved fuel efficiency.

The next-generation Maruti Vitara Brezza was unveiled as a concept vehicle close to manufacturing during the 2022 Auto Expo. On the other hand, the Auto Expo has now been postponed indefinitely. As a result, it is unclear whether we will witness a concept car before the actual production vehicle or not. The launch is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2022, around the holiday season. The introduction of the new model should reinforce the brand’s excellent position in the fiercely competitive market.
