Khanna, in his new role, is responsible for leading the transformation of the company's retailers from the traditional business model to being profitable partners in its journey of becoming a fully-electric car company, at the same time minimising the carbon footprint through the green-dealer initiative, it said.
Besides, he leads the implementation of all-digital platforms required to support online-direct-to-consumer sales and the consumer relationship centre which is pivotal in ensuring a positive customer experience, Volvo Car India said.
According to the company, Jyotsana Singh Kaushik has recently joined the company as Director of Marketing and PR, with a focus on driving strategic marketing initiatives, while Priyankaril Khatri has been appointed as the head of legal.
