Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has appointed Manasi Tata as the new Vice Chairperson with immediate effect. Her appointment to the post has come after the untimely demise of Vikram S. Kirloskar, former Vice Chairman of Toyota Kirloskar Motor.

Furthermore, she will also take over as the Vice Chairperson of Toyota Kirloskar Auto parts (TKAP).

Already serving as a member of the Board of Directors at Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Limited, Manasi is an integral part of TKM’s corporate decisions and strategic operations.

“I’m excited to enrich my journey with Toyota Kirloskar Motor. I am confident that with my personal belief of putting people first we will continue to create the best value not only for customers but also for the entire system from suppliers to dealers,” Mansi said.

“As a young business leader, Manasi Tata brings with her inclusive thinking and a people-centric outlook that are critical in our pursuit of excellence across all areas. This, along with her sharp understanding of the Indian auto industry will further strengthen TKM’s commitment towards delivering ‘Mass Happiness to All,” Masakazu Yoshimura Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer (MD & CEO), Toyota Kirloskar Motor said.
