When the opposition leader welcomes you – just like he does – watch out!!!

K. K. SWAMY... Dty. MD, Toyota Kirloskar
When the opposition leader welcomes you – just like he does – watch out!!!
A man of KK Swami’s stature is perhaps highly regarded in almost all quarters of the industry. The man at the helm of Toyota Kirloskar’s affairs presently serves as the Dty. MD of India’s sixth largest car maker. With over two decades of living an auto-maker’s life, Swami has been a major driving force behind Toyota and in general Kirloskar group’s success in India. This CA by qualification was also a part of Toyota’s feasibility team, considered critical by the Japanese major before entering any market. So how has his India experience been so far? Responding to 4Ps B&M on the query, Swamy asserted, “There are many changes taking place in the Indian market, and I have seen many myself. This market is also the most competitive in the world as the consumer is very price conscious here... But considering competition, it’s always welcome!” Confidence indeed, but it has been this very grit & determination that has helped Swami prove his mettle. Need we say more?
