With 15,786 units sold in June 2025, it has solidified its position as one of the best-rated compact SUVs within the competitive Indian auto market. Debuted in 2015, the Creta has gained a strong customer base due to numerous factors, including exterior design, spacious cabin, an extensive feature list, and multiple options for the engine and gearbox.
The Creta has been the best-selling SUV in the first half of 2025, and this milestone coincides with the SUV's 10th anniversary. Commenting on the occasion, Tarun Garg, Whole-Time Director and Chief Operating Officer, Hyundai Motor India Ltd., said, 'CRETA is not just a product, it is an emotion for over 1.2 million Indian families. Over the last decade, brand CRETA has consistently redefined the SUV space and remained a strong pillar of Hyundai's growth in India. Becoming the bestselling model in June 2025, exactly as it completes 10 years in the country, is a testament to the love and trust that Indian customers have placed in the brand."
Garg adds that the Creta has been the highest-selling mid-size SUV in the country every completed year since its 2015 market debut.

Soham Parekh breaks silence: Indian engineer admits to working at multiple startups, says it wasn't to scam anyone
Soham Parekh, accused of working at multiple startups simultaneously, has admitted to doing so in a recent interview but strongly added that he didn't do it to scam the companies. The internet has been flooded with stories, opinions and allegations after Mixpanel co-founder Suhail Doshi shared a tweet about Parekh accusing him of being a scammer. Soham Parekh, accused of working at multiple startups at the same time, hails from Mumbai and later relocated to the USA. (YouTube/@TBPNLive) In an interview with TBPN, Parekh shared his side of the story. When one of the interviewers asked him if he indeed held multiple jobs at the same time, Parekh said, 'It is true'. Why did he do it? 'Do you believe you were in violation of your own employment contracts? Or do you believe there were some legal loopholes that allowed you to do this without committing any sort of legal violation?' Parekh was asked. The Indian techie answered, 'Honestly, going back to how it started and what the motivations were. You probably know, I would want to preface with saying I'm not proud of what I've done. It's not something I endorse either.' He then says that he did it due to his financial situation. 'Financial circumstances essentially. No one really likes to work 140 hours a week but I had to do it out of necessity.' He explained that his actions were guided by necessity and not by greed. Did he hire people to work for him? Social media claimed that Parekh made a business out of his multiple jobs by hiring junior developers to do most of the work. The Indian techie denied the allegations, adding that he wrote every "inch of codes." Soham Parekh said he was born in Mumbai and relocated to the US in 2020. He was originally scheduled to relocate in 2018 and start his grad school. However, he said he had to give up on the idea due to his financial situation.

SEBI Bans Jane Street From Indian Markets, Orders Rs 4,843 Cr Seizure Over Derivatives Probe
Last Updated: The action comes as part of SEBI's ongoing probe into suspected market manipulation by Jane Street through its derivatives trading SEBI India's capital market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has barred US-based proprietary trading firm Jane Street Group and its associated entities from participating in the Indian securities market. According to a report by Bloomberg and an official order published on SEBI's website, the firm is prohibited from buying, selling, or dealing in any securities—either directly or indirectly—until further notice. SEBI also directed all banks to freeze withdrawals from accounts linked to Jane Street Group entities. This includes individual and jointly held accounts, unless SEBI provides specific approval for transactions. The action comes as part of SEBI's ongoing probe into suspected market manipulation by Jane Street through its derivatives trading activities. The firm reportedly earned over $2.3 billion in profits from equity derivatives trading in India last year. SEBI's order further states that unlawful gains of Rs 4,843 crore—allegedly earned through manipulative practices—will be impounded. Jane Street entities have been directed to open an escrow account with a scheduled commercial bank in India and deposit the entire amount. Banks where these companies maintain accounts have also been instructed to not allow any debits without the regulator's permission. Additionally, Jane Street Group and its related entities must close or square off all existing positions within three months or by the contract's expiry—whichever comes first. April 2024: SEBI begins initial analysis after media reports highlight a legal dispute involving Jane Street's alleged unauthorized use of proprietary trading strategies in Indian markets. July 23, 2024: SEBI instructs the National Stock Exchange (NSE) to examine Jane Street's trading activity to identify potential market abuse. August 2024: SEBI interacts with Jane Street on August 20, and the firm submits its response on August 30, explaining its trades. November 13, 2024: NSE submits its examination report on Jane Street's trading patterns to SEBI. December 2024: SEBI observes unusual volatility in index options, especially on weekly expiry days. It notes that certain entities, including Jane Street, were running exceptionally large risk positions in cash-equivalent terms in the F&O segment. February 4, 2025: Based on preliminary findings, SEBI believes Jane Street is in violation of Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices (PFUTP) regulations. February 6, 2025: NSE, on SEBI's instructions, issues a caution letter to Jane Street Singapore Pte Ltd and related entities, advising them to refrain from potentially manipulative trading patterns. February 6 & 21, 2025: Jane Street responds to the caution letter, providing justifications for its trading activities. May 15, 2025: Despite the warning, Jane Street continues to operate with very large cash-equivalent positions in index options, leading to further regulatory scrutiny. What Are Cash Equivalents in F&O? In the context of futures and options (F&O), cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid instruments such as treasury bills or money market funds. These assets are often used as collateral for margin requirements, allowing traders to earn returns while actively engaging in derivatives trading.
