Indian customers adapt to any new technology quickly if it is provided at an affordable price, according to a senior Maruti Suzuki India official. The country’s largest carmaker has been among the busiest original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in CY22, launching at least five new models across various segments.
“We keep customers at the centre of all our work, in terms of product development, services or anything else, and our focus is on how we can meet their requirements. Over the past four-five years, we have seen the customers becoming digitally savvy and getting used to more features,” Maruti’s chief technology officer CV Raman told FE.
Raman said that the auto industry is constantly churning, in terms of styling, design trends and product development side. “You need to continuously study that and keep moving. Whatever you are seeing today, this must have started maybe at a concept stage four years back. So, it is a constant endeavour to understand the customer,” he said.
