Your career at Honda has exceeded two decades. Could you tell us what inspired you to be at Honda for so long?

Our company is actually built on the power of dreams. If you have that passion to reach your goal, this is the right company to work with. Since 2001, when I joined this organisation, I have also been keeping in mind that I need to provide the products as well as the services to customers and that those should match the overall global philosophy of Honda. Our core philosophy is to make sure that we have three joys: the joy of buying, the joy of selling, and the great joy of creating.
