1
We sold 175 ,000 vehicles.
2
We are the number one OEM.
3
Your founder started his business journey in Ukraine.
4
Vingroup is a very large conglomerate in Vietnam.
5
Automobile is one particular industry, which is a very, very complex engineering industry.
6
From there, the ambition came.
7
Working at this speed brings challenges as well.
8
The biggest challenge is everything
9
that we need to do in the same time with this side of the project happens
10
that within 17 months we are moving fast
11
but we are not losing our quality what is wingfast usb whatever we are going to do
12
that is going to help the people
13
and the planet in general we have invested 500 million dollars for the passenger vehicle
14
but soon will be launching even the two -wheeler there's a
15
lot of potential for the local people here the only thing is
16
that how we can identify
17
and unlocking the potential localization is a journey it's not just
18
something happen overnight how is windfast aiming to keep up with this new india
19
and what are the future plans welcome to another episode of bhara journey this time from outside of india
20
because there's a new car brand in india and
21
if i show you the logo you've probably seen it but you have no clue who they are because they're not German, they're not Japanese and they're certainly not Chinese.
22
Well, they're moving fast and they're moving very silently
23
but I'm here to make a little bit of a noise about them because you've probably heard of Abani and Adani, right?
24
Those are names that are familiar with you.
25
Here in Vietnam, it's the VIN group that stands as a big conglomerate and the car brand that they've launched, well that's WinFast.
26
I'm here in Vietnam to find out the journey of the brand behind WinFast, what they stand for, who they are and what they are doing to take on the Indian market.
27
This is their Bharat journey.
28
Thank you Mr. Ghosh for taking time to speak with us.
29
It's a pleasure to be here in Vietnam and really learn everything about the Win Group.
30
It has a unique history.
31
Your founder started his business journey in Ukraine
32
but what convinced them to actually go into such a technical engineering space like manufacturing cars in 2017?
33
Vingroup is a very large conglomerate in Vietnam and they have been in hospitality business, real estate business for nearly three decades.
34
Since 2016, there was a discussion among the leadership about what next.
35
So the leadership decided that automobile is one particular industry, which is a very, very complex engineering industry.
36
From there, the ambition came that yes we need to showcase Vietnam in the world map
37
and Vinfast as one of the global leading EV brand particularly.
38
So 2017 we started off with manufacturing ICE and EV
39
but then our management decided that EV is the way to go forward
40
because sustainable mobility is something which we would like to carry forward.
41
So what convinced the company to shift completely from ICE to EV?
42
Our top leadership, our chairman, he was very clear with one thing that whatever we going to do
43
that is going to help the people
44
and the planet in general the desire was very clear
45
that we would like to care for the society for our children for our greener future
46
and we would like to have the ev mobility
47
which will be accessible to the people and that's how we decided
48
that yes let us not invest our resources in ice but let us have ev in our portfolio
49
win group certainly put its money where its mouth is
50
and its ambitions extend far beyond the automotive business from world -class townships designed with everything from parks
51
and schools to amusement parks to global standard universities charging infrastructure hotels
52
and resorts there's a common thread
53
that runs through everything the group does improving the quality of life
54
and well -being of people
55
and once you understand just how deeply vin group is woven into everyday life in vietnam it's hardly surprising
56
that the roads are covered in everything vin including of course, the cars.
57
Well, being on the roads here in Vietnam, I see it covered with Winfast cars.
58
You very quickly took that decision also to come to India.
59
India has also moved very, very quickly.
60
But India is a unique market.
61
What do you think makes Winfast unique and what is Winfast USP?
62
We know that if we have to success in India, we need to create that differentiation.
63
There are certain things which we are actually giving unique to our customers and trying to differentiate ourselves from the other brands.
64
Like for example, our vehicles are premium but affordable.
65
Safety is at the core.
66
We are BNCAP rated five, seven year backs from the very beginning.
67
We have created that differentiation among the product.
68
That is one part of the story.
69
Second is that we also know that in India, customers are very value conscious.
70
The customer also knows that if he wants to keep the vehicle for five years, what is the overall cost of ownership?
71
So what we have done is giving some unique benefits to customer.
72
For example, Our maintenance is free for three years.
73
Our residual value, we are giving 75 % after two years and 55 % of the residual value after five years.
74
Exchange, like ICE to EV exchange, we are giving very, very attractive package.
75
Our warranty is very good, like 10 years warranty on battery, you know, 10 years warranty on the vehicle.
76
In fact, our warranty covers certain things like suspension also is covered in the warranty.
77
Even paint is also covered in the warranty, which many OAN don't give.
78
This is how we are trying to create that differentiation so that customers know that WinFast gives certain unique values, which is very, very important for the customers and that differentiates us from other brands.
79
The journey in India, it's been a very quick one, quickly jumped into a huge plant in Tuticorin.
80
That's a big decision to take in India.
81
Tell us a little bit about this decision and what are the plans for the plant?
82
The reason why we went for the manufacturing from the very beginning is that we did not want to waste time.
83
Suppose we would have actually gotten import, then it would have taken time to establish the supply chain and all.
84
So we decided that when we have to localize our products, improve the local suppliers, source local components,
85
it's very important that we have the plant ready and start doing our groundwork from the very beginning.
86
And yeah, I think that decision, in my opinion, is going to help in our future also.
87
So, I think all the formulas seem to be right, but you need to also get the brand recognition, right?
88
So, how do you intend to get the Indian consumer to sort of realize that, you know, what WinGroup is, what WinFast is as a brand?
89
Currently in Vietnam, we are the number one OEM.
90
Last year, we sold 175 ,000 vehicles in Vietnam.
91
That shows that ultimately the way the brand develops is starting from the time the customer walks in the showroom, books the vehicle and throughout the service,
92
when the customer is having a seamless and a very, very good experience, they will trust the brand.
93
And that's how we will obviously our brand will be built.
94
Here in Vietnam, you've actually built an ecosystem, you know, for the EV buyers, charging, infrastructure.
95
You plan to extend to that in India as well, build the ecosystem for the customer.
96
Overall, we are going to have that ecosystem, which you have rightly said, and that is very, very important for our adoption.
97
We are also having sister company of Wynn Group that is called the V -Green.
98
They have started having the charging stations across the country.
99
They have got ambitious plan.
100
V -Green is also having a tie -up with, you know, third -party setups like HPCA,
101
road grid, etc. to set up the charging stations across the length and breadth of the country.
102
Now, you've set up a very, very large factory in Tuticoran.
103
How challenging was it to localize in India?
104
How have you found the process?
105
Localization will be an extremely important part of our strategy going forward because we need to bring down the bomb cost.
106
We need to also have a reliable supply of parts locally.
107
Currently we are at 15 % localization and going forward we'll be improving it.
108
Localization is one part, but a lot of global manufacturers are looking to India, not only for manufacturing, but also R &D,
109
because we have a very large talent pool in India.
110
At the moment, your R &D is still situated in Vietnam.
111
Are you looking at expanding the R &D into India?
112
Our leadership team in Vietnam do recognize that India has got a very vast talent pool.
113
In future, we would be surely looking at Indian doing the research for local as well as for global aspirations also.
114
In fact, there are a lot of Indian engineers who are working in Vietnam in our WinFast land.
115
So they are getting that exposure of the global experience and also our WinFast culture.
116
So, these are going to be our strategy going forward.
117
And India is an extremely important market for us.
118
And we know that with Indian engineers, if we can actually develop them locally as well as for the globe, yeah, it will be a win -win situation for our company.
119
It's not only passenger vehicles that I think WinGroup is going to be focused on.
120
But I think WinFast Group is also looking at the commercial space, two -wheeler space.
121
So, tell us a little bit about the larger plans.
122
For us, India is a very, very big market
123
and an extremely important market yes passenger vehicle we have launched
124
but soon will be launching even the two -wheeler
125
so overall the ecosystem we want to develop because we feel
126
that customers when they see passenger vehicle
127
when fast running on the road the e -scooters
128
that brand recall will be very high the visibility of the
129
brand will be very high awareness of the brand will be very high
130
and at the same time to develop this we are also going to have the charging station our fleet management system, the GSM.
131
And India is a market where they constantly need something new.
132
They need flavor.
133
They need change.
134
You know, it's a new generation.
135
They're used to very quick changes, whether it's on their Instagram swipe or whether it's in their cars or whether it's in their lifestyle.
136
So how is WinFast aiming to keep up with this new India?
137
And what are the future plans?
138
We have invested a huge amount of money, $500 million for the passenger vehicle.
139
We have created a capacity of 50 ,000 vehicles per annum, roughly 4 ,000 per month
140
and it can be scaled up to 150 ,000 plus beside
141
the plant also again we have invested 500 million dollars to set up two -wheeler plant
142
which means that already we have invested 1 billion dollars with huge manufacturing you know capacity.
143
The reason why we have done this is because we know
144
that we have to keep on launching new products to create
145
that excitement with this new products we can scale up volume
146
we can actually do justice to the amount of investment and the plant which we have actually given.
147
We are planning to launch two products every year.
148
So new products will scale up, help with localization, help with network.
149
That is how we are going to go forward.
150
And that's how we will be creating that excitement among the Indian customers.
151
That's our strategy going forward.
152
And my last question to you would be that, you know, it's not only vehicles.
153
I think Vingroup is planning to bring a lot more of what they do in Vietnam into India in terms of hospitality, in terms of, you know, the other areas in which they are developed.
154
Can you tell us a little bit about that?
155
Yeah, so we want to have the wind group ecosystem also come to India.
156
We have tied up with Telangana government to have an eco -township also.
157
So that eco -township will be having the renewable energy.
158
It's something which you would be seeing it in Hanoi and in Vietnam a lot.
159
Similarly, with Maharashtra government also we have tied up.
160
So many state governments we are trying to work and tie up
161
so that we can evaluate our wind group other projects be it real estate, be it hospitality to India.
162
We are actually looking India at from a long -term point of view
163
and we are very much committed to not only invest in our four -wheeler
164
but also two -wheelers and also other wind group projects and we are working with the state governments to do that. From Vietnam to India,
165
we're in Tutti Corrin at the Windfast plant which was an incredible feat
166
because they broke ground in 2024 and in an incredible amount of 15 months they had this plant up and running.
167
Now that is remarkably quick if you know anything in the world of auto
168
and we're here with the plant director of India, Mr. Toy.
169
Thank you for being here with us.
170
And we get to see the plant, see how WinFast makes its cars and find out how they did this in such a short time.
171
You've been with WinFast since I think they broke ground in Vietnam, right?
172
Yeah.
173
And you saw the incredible speed in vietnam of how the company came up
174
and you've been here in india yeah
175
and you did the same thing here you set up a
176
plant really quickly what do you see as the differences between vietnam
177
and india in setting up there
178
and setting up here yeah it is difference between the setting up the plants in vietnam
179
and the plan in india of course then the regulation difference the environment difference
180
and the people is different and a lot of things is different associated with
181
that but there's a thing
182
that is not different it's the our company way of work the spirit the speed
183
that we want to put in the plate
184
and the determination of the making these plans moving forward
185
so you see that especially with the respect to the speed we keep very high focus
186
and make the entire project happen just within 17 months that is a truly
187
deflecting our speed our teamwork
188
and our determination to the final goal of the business working at this speed brings challenges as well
189
so what was the biggest challenge you found in setting up the plant here
190
and you know managing to keep the goal of the speed
191
that you wanted to deliver in the biggest challenge is everything
192
that we need to do in the same time with this
193
side of the project normally they will do step by step from the infrastructure construction into the equipment installation,
194
developing the suppliers as well as hiring the people and training.
195
With VinFart, we need to build and get everything in the same time.
196
But we are not also compromising the quality.
197
That is my next question to you.
198
You know, quality of construction, yes, that's one thing.
199
But quality of product as well that needs to be strong in a country like India.
200
How do you assure the quality of product when you are keeping to a very fast speed?
201
One of the very important things that we are moving fast, but we are not losing our quality.
202
To do that, everything has been designed with the guarantee of the quality from the construction,
203
as well as the design on the facility equipment, design the process as well as the part quality until the
204
build quality of the vehicle did you bring a lot of
205
staff from vietnam that's already been working in quality control
206
and various areas of the factory to train the locals
207
because tudecoran really isn't an automotive manufacturing hub yet i think
208
you're one of the first few to set up here
209
so getting skilled labor is a little bit difficult talk us through
210
that that how have you trained the locals and
211
and how have you got them to manage this plant i must say
212
that we have been a very good manpower strategy starting from
213
the the beginning we have been defined a key manpower strategies
214
where we need to take from the vietnam as an expert
215
and where we need to take the key enable people as a local
216
so we're having a number of the expert come here even starting from the operator technical
217
and managers to come here bring the knowledge
218
and help us to setting up
219
and training for the people there's a lot of potential for the local people here the only thing is
220
that how we can identify and unlocking the potential
221
so we have been making a very good cooperation with the
222
Tamil Nadu government to get supporting of the manpower here
223
and we hide the people and we're giving to them the very good training
224
and where we have the opportunity of the growth we also
225
spoke to a few of the factory members on ground to
226
find out how the winfast experience was for them hi i'm
227
shrine monisha i'm from tutukuren i'm an artist person of tutukuren
228
since i'm a native person of tutukuren this has been a
229
global opportunity to our entire native people here in the general
230
assembly i work as an admin here we have a lot of dedication purpose
231
and responsibilities with the management side
232
and the shop floor we act as a bridge between the people in the shop floor
233
and the management coming to the point of the people working here looking earlier like
234
when we had to grow in a career we have to look go to chennai
235
or bangalore and other cities but right now it is a global opportunity for us
236
and the local people have been very fast -paced
237
or development in their growth to be honest yes it is
238
a very fast -paced work center bala muragan i am passed
239
1 .5 years i working in the windpost india i worked
240
in the body shop department background of the car manufacturing process
241
initially we thought this is very difficult to work in the vietnam company
242
but here the standards and the process is learning a lot much to me
243
so easy to work understood the work process vietnam people are giving some trainings
244
and like that the process standards like that it's easy to understood
245
so we are working and enjoying this working company previously i heard some news about the windpost
246
and windproof come to the india and choose for Tamil Nadu and Turthupati plant.
247
Actually, this Vingroup is a lot more projects that they have.
248
They're not only for the EV vehicles or they have planned for EV scooter and transportation like that.
249
They have a lot of plans.
250
So we have planned to work here.
251
It's still early days for Vingroup in India and there's more ground to cover whether it's on product or after sales.
252
And we continued our conversation to find out more.
253
You mentioned CKD and you said most of the parts are now coming in from Vietnam.
254
How far along the localization are you?
255
Because in India, localization is important.
256
And how do you find the quality of suppliers here?
257
How has that experience been?
258
Localization is a journey.
259
It's not just something happened, just an overnight.
260
But our strategy from the beginning is very clear.
261
We progress to localize the pot in India along with our business growth.
262
So as we are moving for the expansion of the capacity, localize has become one of the very important strategies.
263
And as of now, our is working with a number of suppliers in India to explore
264
and finding the opportunity of getting more parts of localised production in India.
265
Our target is not only to get more localisation, but also to support increasing the ecosystem of the local parts,
266
more capability to support VINFAT expansion as well as the local EV automobile.
267
What is the current capacity of the plant and what are your aims and goals for the future?
268
Current.
269
Capacity, the plant starts with 10 JPS equal to 50 ,000 K per year.
270
As soon as we are starting with the first step of the SOP, we are also advancing the capacity of the plant.
271
As you can see, something is still going on in the plant.
272
We are targeting this plant going to 150 ,000 unit per year.
273
For the future, it's still another plant to getting capacity increasing but we will announce later when we're getting that finalized.
274
I also see expansion here for the two -wheeler
275
and commercial vehicle units so that is also very much a part of this plan.
276
How is that progressing?
277
So the two -wheeler project has been progressing very good.
278
We are now ready to start with the very first motors of the e -scooter
279
which is planning to come within this year
280
and coming to the next year as you can see
281
that we're having another contraction in going on
282
and even having new plan with a bigger capacity for the scooter
283
so there are big plans for India with Vinfast yeah how do you see the journey progressing
284
and what's the ultimate goal I think the goal of Vinfast
285
in India is not just let me say making the VinFast brand and VinFast vehicle presenting on the market.
286
We want to be a big player of the EV
287
manufacturers in the market as well as we want to you know contribute into the green transformations
288
of the country and also to supporting for the EV automobile growth of the country.
289
Last question to you how has it been culturally I would say a lighter question not
290
so technical but working with people in vietnam
291
and working with with with your teams in india how has how have the differences been
292
and what are some of the lighter nuances
293
that you find it's a very interesting question with the respect to the people
294
and culture i i find a lot of interesting
295
and a lot of common eyes between the vietnamese
296
and india even though there are some belief or counter different
297
but i'm feeling very comfortable to working with the our local indian colleagues they have a very good knowledge
298
and automobile experience but also they love to work with us
299
and what we are achieving today have been a very significant
300
contribution of the our local employee that's amazing we hope everyone gets up to speed really fast thank you
301
and now you know why it's called win fast right

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
