Autocar Professional – December 15, 2021 issue

Times may be tough but TVS Motor Co’s dynamic chairman, Venu Srinivasan, has had a remarkably successful year. The architect in rebuilding TVS Motor to the position it is in today, he has had to cope with a host of challenges over the years but every setback only made him more determined. TVS is now a force to reckon with, not only in the volume game but in scripting an aggressive vision for e-mobility. Srinivasan has also drafted a succession plan which will see TVS hold its own in a challenging global environment. For this and more, he is voted Autocar Professional's Man of the Year 2021.
