Formula for Success, Being Close to Customer: Shashank Srivastava, Maruti Suzuki | autoX Awards 2023

"We believe that the penetration of EVs in our country, in the passenger vehicle segment, would be roughly around 17-19% by 2030. This is unlike some predictions which are saying 50%, or even more... In our country we need a mix of technology, which is hybrids, CNG, flex-fuel and of course, electric vehicles," says Shashank Srivastava, Sr Exec Maruti Suzuki, as he sits down for a one-on-one conversation with our founder and editor-in-chief Dhruv Behl after receiving the autoX Awards 'Best of 2023' for the Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
