"Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value." - Albert Einstein This quote has been the guiding principle of my professional journey - I believe that virtues like honesty, fair play, trustfulness. empowerment & empathy build a positive environment which leads to sustainable success. I am a seasoned business professional with over 30 years of diverse and international leadership experience in the automotive industry across CV, PV, EV & 2W segments, working with OEM & distributors in India & abroad.My mission is to help businesses to start, grow, transform, or turnaround their operations in the automotive sector & beyond, leveraging my extensive experience, knowledge, skills, & network.Previously, as the Group Chief Operating Officer at MAW Enterprises, one of the largest automotive groups in Nepal, I managed, drove, & expanded the business across multiple brands. Before that, I was the founding CEO of Tata Motors Indonesia for almost 9 years, where I gained rich startup experience while building the organization from scratch in an alien market.I have managed businesses from startups to revenues of USD 350 Million with full P&L accountability.As an accomplished leader, I bring to the table strong business acumen, solid grounding in general management along with the confidence, maturity & ability to run a business. I am adept at stakeholder management – internal & external - and can be depended on for bringing stability and growth momentum to any fledgling organisation.A hands-on, inclusive, & empathetic leader who strongly values integrity, trust, and passion, I build a strong people-oriented ecosystem that delivers consistent results. Cross-cultural team building with strong customer orientation is my forte. I have a flair for going into the unknown and start new businesses - be it being part of the founding team of PV business in Tata Motors, relocating to Sri Lanka in the midst of a civil war for turning around the business there, building business in Afghanistan, forays into Pakistan (which is still not very common for Indian businesses), setting up a truck factory in Myanmar, starting a new company in Indonesia, joining a technology startup and then managing diverse brands in Nepal. This ability to quickly learn, adapt & deliver, has helped me in contributing to new roles, even in fresh domains.Reading on contemporary history, following all kinds of sports, playing tennis & swimming, travelling & spending time with family are the pleasures that keep me charged.Received Indonesia's Top Foreign CEO award.
