“A FAIRYTALE JOURNEY”

Mr R.C. Bhargava, Chairman of Maruti Suzuki, has been with India’s biggest automobile company since 1981. Initially deputed to Maruti while in the IAS, he quit the premier all India service and joined the company full time. At first, things started out with the celebrated M-800, a small passenger car that caught the imagination of the nation. Subsequently, fuelled by intense competition from world class car companies, Maruti managed to hold its own and today has a market cap that is larger than that of Suzuki Japan. He responds to wide-ranging questions from Business and Diplomatic Editor Yogesh Sood.
