With such experience and drive, he is certain to steer growth in the company and increase further presence within the competitive road transport industry in Kenya.
My vision in Ashok Leyland for Kenya is about taking customer satisfaction to a different level by strengthening after-sales support, which holds the key for trucking business excellence in this market. We would strengthen our dealer network and customer-related training programmes with focused marketing strategies to position Ashok Leyland as the leading commercial trucking brand in Kenya, ” Kamal said.
Kamal will bring strategic leadership, business operations management, and drive the growth of the Ashok Leyland brand in the new role. He will be responsible for the overall performance of the business operations in the country, reporting directly to Naresh Leekha, Group Managing Director — Motors Division at Simba Corporation.
“We believe that Kamal’s deep industry and technical knowledge, combined with an unequal familiarity of Ashok Leyland, positions him very well to lead Ashok Leyland’s growth in Kenya,” said Naresh Leekha.
