Re: The Story of Tata's Epic Journey from Trucks to Aria

Mayank Pareek, Sales and Marketing head from Suzuki, quits and is rumoured to Join Tata Motors. This would be good change for Tata, as his experience of 20 years with Suzuki, would be beneficial for Tata. Tatas have had great products however, sales and after sales have not be able to showcase them aptly. With Suzuki experience, thing look bright for Tata.

Nagesh Basavanhalli exits Fiat India [confused]
It is learnt that Pablo Rosso, current head of Fiat Chrysler in South Korea, will take over as the interim head of Fiat Chrysler India in January 2015.

As companies with smaller market share in India get busy with aggressive growth strategies in the coming years, Fiat Chrysler cannot afford to lose any more time. That could be the reason for this change. Rosso, who was stationed in India before Basavanhalli played a pivotal role as an interface' between Fiat headquarters and the Asia-Pacific region, as product manager for India. Rosso's immediate task will be to fix the leadership vacuum in Fiat India.
