“My singular focus will be on taking Audi ahead in a sustainable and profitable manner, with delight for all our stakeholders, in addition to customers. Rahil has already set in motion a new momentum for us and I look forward to building on that foundation as we move towards an era of electrification and digitalisation in India,” Dhillon said.
According to Michael Frisch, Vice-President Region Overseas Audi AG, “Rahil’s contribution has been immense for Audi India. He was a true representative of Brand India at AUDI AG and has created the foundation for future success. The work he has done will provide the basis for a sustainable business and profitable network in India, with new digital customer-centric activities.
