Meet Man who owns India's oldest Ferrari, gets His supercar delivered to his office in…, he is not Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, Birla, his name is…
New Delhi: Over the past 10–15 years, India has emerged as a hub for unicorns and prominent entrepreneurs. The luxurious lifestyles of these successful businessmen are often showcased on social media. Lately, there has been a noticeable trend of entrepreneurs purchasing exotic and high-end cars. Young entrepreneurs often gravitate towards supercars and sporty SUVs while older businessmen typically prefer luxurious and comfortable SUVs. However, in a unique instance, a video has surfaced showing an older businessman taking delivery of a brand-new Ferrari Purosangue right at his office.
M. Hemanth Kumar shared the video on his Instagram page where an older businessman can be seen coming out from his office in Karnataka. The businessman in the video is Sekhar Vasan, who is the Managing Director of Sansera Engineering, an engineering-led integrated manufacturer of complex and critical precision components for the automotive and non-automotive sectors.
Vasan can be seen surrounded by staff and family members. As he walks ahead, he is greeted by a staff member from the Ferrari dealership. After handing over the keys to the car, Vasan gets into the driver's seat and takes the car for a spin.
In this video, we even see him drive the car on the road and then bring it back to the office.
The car featured in the video is a particularly special Ferrari — it's the brand's first-ever SUV to enter production. Launched in India last year, it comes with an ex-showroom price tag of approximately ₹10.5 crore. The Ambani family was among the first to purchase it soon after its debut.

Trump praise sends American Eagle stock soaring 20% amid Sydney Sweeney ad controversy
American Eagle saw its stock jump by 20% after former US President Donald Trump lauded their new ad. The ad stars actress Sydney Sweeney. Trump's post on Truth Social boosted the brand. He called the ad 'HOTTEST'. American Eagle has been facing sales challenges. The Sweeney campaign aims to turn things around. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Some critics say the ad was too much Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Campaign gets attention while sales struggle FAQs American Eagle's stock went up by 20% on Monday after former U.S. President Donald Trump praised the brand's new ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. Trump posted on Truth Social, calling Sweeney "a registered Republican" and saying her ad is the "HOTTEST" out there. He also said American Eagle jeans are 'flying off the shelves' and encouraged people to "Go get 'em Sydney!"Right after Trump's post, American Eagle shares spiked sharply, and by early afternoon, the stock was still trading 20% higher. American Eagle had launched the Sydney Sweeney campaign just over a week earlier, promoting its fall collection with the line: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans', as reported by CNBC first, the campaign led to a short boost in the stock price, which looked like a meme stock moment, but then shares dropped as the ad received backlash. The controversy came from critics, especially on the far left, who claimed the 'great jeans' slogan had a double meaning — suggesting it referred to Sweeney's genetics, not just also felt the ad was too sexualized and looked like outdated marketing, which they say no longer fits with today's audience. American Eagle didn't say much at first but responded on Instagram on Friday, saying the slogan 'is and always was about the jeans', according to the report by company added that it will 'continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way' and that "great jeans look good on everyone." This whole issue shows the tough spot brands are in — choosing the right message for the right audience, especially when people are quick to react situation has been compared to Bud Light's past controversy with Dylan Mulvaney, which hurt its image with conservatives. In contrast, American Eagle's campaign seems to appeal more to the cultural right, especially after Trump's support. American Eagle has been struggling with low sales, and this campaign with Sweeney is part of their push to turn things around, as stated by a CNBC still unclear if the ad has helped sales, but it definitely brought attention — Google search interest for American Eagle is now the highest it's been in over 20 years. We'll know more once American Eagle releases its earnings in the next few weeks. That will show if the search buzz actually led to more jeans being of last Friday's market close, American Eagle shares were down over 27% this year, as the brand deals with big challenges like tariffs, weak consumer spending, and merchandising problems. Earlier this year, the company had to write down $75 million worth of spring and summer products, and even pulled its full-year forecast because of low sales and economic uncertainty, as mentioned by a CNBC May, for the current quarter, American Eagle said it expects a 5% drop in revenue, 3% decline in comparable sales, and lower profit margins compared to last year. The company also said it expects its second-quarter operating income to be between $40 million and $45 million, as per the called the ad the 'HOTTEST' and said American Eagle jeans are 'flying off the shelves' on Truth too early to tell, but Google searches for American Eagle are at a 20-year high after the ad launched.
