Lexus restructures India operations

Last Updated 01 September 2017, 20:48 IST

Japanese luxury carmaker Lexus on Friday announced a new restructured organisation in India, with an aim to further grow in the market.

“The new organisation, which now stands independently from the broader Toyota presence in India, is to be known, effective immediately, as Lexus India,” the company said in a statement.

In line with this change, a new strengthened leadership structure is also being established to drive the brand’s growth strategy.

Lexus debuted in India in March 2017, with a hybrid-focused line-up of vehicles featuring the ES300h and RX450h, apart from the LX450d.

Since then Lexus has opened four guest experience centres in Bengaluru, Mumbai, New Delhi and Gurugram.

The new strengthened leadership team is helmed by Lexus India Chairman Akito Tachibana (who is also Managing Director of Toyota Kirloskar Motor), while Akitoshi Takemura as President will lead the Lexus India business. Arun Nair has moved into the role of Vice President for Operations.

“India is an extremely important market for Lexus. Today’s announcement of a new and independent organisational structure is a signal that we intend to build a business that continues to drive growth not only in India, but with India and for India,” Takemura stated.
