Audi India appoints Rahil Ansari as head of operation
NEW DELHI: Ingolstadt based luxury
car maker Audi has appointed Rahil Ansari as the head of Indian operations
effective 1st of February 2017.
Ansari, a person of Indian origin has a broad range of experience at Audi right
from sales, after-sales, network development including finance. Ansari
currently is the head of global pricing for Audi genuine parts for the after
sales division. Ansari took over from Australian Joe King, who moved back to
Germany a few months back.
The appointment of Ansari comes at a time when Audi is facing its toughest time
in the Indian market. The brand has been hit by tough macro-economic
environment on one hand and due to lifecycle change in products at its own end
and unavailability of some diesel engine on the other, Audi is likely to end
the 2016 with sales decline of over 20% to around 8500 units.
"I am confident that his
diverse global experience combined with the understanding of the Indian market
will help to consolidate the brand presence,” said Thierry Lespiaucq, Managing
Director, Volkswagen Group Sales India Private Limited.
