Skoda Auto Volkswagen India confirms Agarwal’s exit

In an official response, a Skoda Auto Volkswagen India spokesperson confirmed the development and said, “Škoda Auto Volkswagen India, with its five aspirational brands – Volkswagen, Škoda, Audi, Porsche, and Lamborghini, is committed to the Indian customers. Sharad Agarwal, the Brand Director of Lamborghini India, has decided to move from the Group after several years of service. We thank Sharad for his commitment and contribution in strengthening the Brand Lamborghini in India. We will announce his replacement in due course.” ‎

Agarwal, who started his career at TVS Motor Company, is seen as a turnaround specialist and has scaled up multiple businesses in his professional life of over two decades.

This is sort of an homecoming for Agarwal, who had previously worked with the Mahindra Group. He was amongst the first lot of people who joined Mahindra’s First Choice Business and scaled the used car division to around 40,000 cars per annum in a segment that was beginning to witness the market getting organised. Agarwal spent over half a decade at Mahindra First Choice.
