The pioneering spirit of Mercedes-Benz. She’s Mercedes is a global initiative by Mercedes-Benz to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of women in all walks of life. We at Mercedes-Benz India would like to challenge the stereotype that success is usually male-driven.

She’s Mercedes is an innovative and special platform by which we would like to showcase our love, respect and care for women. It is our unique way of paying tribute to their achievements. She’s Mercedes consists of networking events, a print magazine and a digital hub, the primary aim being to create a dialogue: Embedded in a mix of formats, exceptional women from different fields and industries give us their personal insights into topics all around business and private life, as well as how to successfully balance the two. The programme will provide an exclusive experience to female customers both on product level as well as in terms of being associated with brand. Exclusive invites will be shared with female customers to get an experience of product launches and various other events. We have been witnessing a sharp surge in the trend of women dominating the Indian luxury industry. The journey of being the prime influencers to being end customers was quite swift. Women today wear the hat of the head of the family. A recent survey conducted by industry body Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) concluded that highly affluent women in India account for an overall market share of about 15 per cent. Much of the spike in sales of Mercedes Benz SUVs is courtesy women buyers, they find SUVs practical, comfortable and safe as their functionality appeals to them. From an insignificant number couple of years ago, we have now witnessed women customers forming a significant 10-12 per cent of our customer base in India. These women patrons are mostly young successful professionals, entrepreneurs and they highly prefer our new design language.
