BMW Group India President and Chief Executive Officer Rudratej Singh passed away on Monday, according to media reports.

He had succumbed to a cardiac arrest.

Singh had been appointed as the CEO and President of the auto giant’s India wing in June 2019 officially taking over the position from August 1 2019.

Prior to BMW India, Rudratej 'Rudy' Singh who had over 25 years of experience holding multiple leadership positions in auto and other industries was the Global President at Royal Enfield. He had quit Royal Enfield in January 2019 to pursue opportunities outside owing to personal commitments, according to an official statement.

The news of the BMW India boss’ demise follows another major loss faced by the company earlier this month. BMW Group India's Sales Director Mihir Dayal (40) had passed away on April 7 following a long battle with cancer.
