President & CEO, Honda India
A tourist, in love with India...
The Japanese car making giant Honda is currently basking under ‘success’ sun of its City and its recently launched Civic in India... and the man behind Indian scenes is President & CEO Masahiro Takedagawa. A charismatic personality, he was elevated to the top post in April 2005. His jouney with Honda started way back when he joined as Area Manager in Car Retail Operations of Honda Motors, Japan. Soon Uncle Sam’s calling found Takedagawa deputed as Sales & Marketing Division Head at Honda Motors, USA. April 2006 also saw him being promoted as COO of Honda Motors, Japan, which also made him the key man to take charge of Honda in the SW Asia markets. Commenting on the move Takedagawa said, “The move is a clear signal of Honda’s commitment to India, and in fact, the whole of SW Asia region.” Surely, this man is enjoying every bit of what India has to offer & we are loving every bit of what he got on offer! Right?
