The automotive industry is set to change more in the next 5 years than in the past 50. The Indian auto-industry is at the helm of this change by becoming the 4th largest in the world with sales increasing 9.5 per cent year-on-year. Several initiatives by the Government of India and the major automobile players in the Indian market are expected to make India a leader in the two-wheeler and four wheeler market in the world by 2020. Disruptions in propulsion technology and infrastructure, the advent of new mobility business models, innovative manufacturing techniques, and connected ecosystems are fundamentally reshaping the needs and demands of customers.
