What to watch

  • Monthly VAHAN registrations and TVS retail share in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana versus pre-training baselines.
  • Whether trained dealerships sustain sales growth for at least three to six months after the programme.
  • Test-ride volumes, lead-to-test-ride conversion and test-ride-to-booking conversion at participating dealers.
  • Dealer-level inventory days, model availability and cancellation rates.
  • Expansion of Catalyst to additional states, participant counts and management disclosure of conversion or profitability metrics.
  • Competitor promotional activity from Hero MotoCorp, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, Bajaj Auto and Royal Enfield in target districts.
  • Extend training to districts with high two-wheeler demand but below-peer TVS market share, prioritizing sales advisers and dealership principals.
  • Link training completion to dealership scorecards covering test rides, lead response times, finance approvals, accessories attachment and retail registrations.
  • Deploy mystery-shopping and CRM dashboards to verify whether demonstration proficiency translates into higher conversion rather than one-off sales spikes.
  • Use high-performing Rajasthan dealerships as peer-coaching hubs and replicate their local-language demonstration and follow-up practices.
  • Coordinate dealer training with inventory allocation, localized finance offers and model-level campaigns so improved selling capability is not limited by stock availability.
