When I launched Vida in 2022, I called it the dawn of something special, meaning ‘Life’, was created to drive a positive impact and move us all forward meaningfully. Four years on, that purpose grew into a movement - a purpose to build a better world.”

Kausalya Nandakumar, Chief Business Officer, Emerging Mobility Business Unit, Hero MotoCorp, said, "Today’s customer is buying an upgrade to their life, and they expect it to be effortless, reliable and within reach. Our new identity is built for that customer, and for the breadth of what Vida now offers. The V-Letter mark captures it best: Hero's legacy and Vida's future, moving forward together. Hero gives our aspiration scale; Vida gives that scale desirability. Together, we are making aspirations accessible."
