Good luck to JSW MG Motor India, they’re going to request it.

I've worked intimately with Mr. Mehrotra, and portion he's a decent guy, he’s conscionable not a "car person." Long-term, I’m not definite however a car institution tin thrive with idiosyncratic astatine the apical who doesn’t truly get cars—or the emotions down them. He’s superb astatine crafting concern cases that look flawless connected paper, but erstwhile it comes to execution and speechmaking the pulse of the consumer, that’s not his beardown suit. Just look astatine the 2nd-gen Figo and Aspire.

I vividly callback a speech wherever helium compared the Nexon to the Creta due to the fact that "both person touchscreens" and "both are SUVs," concluding Creta’s occurrence was each astir marketing. That logic near maine speechless.

Ford India shuttered nether his watch, and TML's CV export business, which helium led, has stumbled (though successful fairness, Girish Wagh had a manus successful that too). I truly anticipation MG doesn't tally into akin issues. They’ve built thing coagulated and person large momentum, but now...I’m not truthful sure.

That said, I’ll inactive beryllium rooting for him—because we request MG to support shaking things up.

This truly is simply a precise important constituent galore a times Automobile companies miss taking a enactment of. Unlike galore different businesses, Automobiles has the "human passion" constituent that possibly is 1 of the cardinal ingredients.

While galore a large leaders person manages palmy switches betwixt manufacture verticals, particularly successful Retail, IT and Manufacturing, the aforesaid has seldom held good for Automobiles, particularly the PPV (Personal Passenger Vehicle) segment.

OT: In the aforesaid breath, it is worthy mentioning Late Nigel Harris who was the MD astatine Ford India earlier moving to China's Chengen plant. One of the manufacture veterans and liable for Ford's emergence successful galore countries.

For those who bash not know, helium passed distant past year. RIP.
