Gurugram-based automobile servicing platform GoMechanic has roped in former Ashok Leyland executive Suyash Kumar to head its e-mobility business.

In the new role, Kumar will be responsible for building an integrated electric vehicle (EV) strategy for the company and building the right talent in the unit to ensure effective delivery, GoMechanic said in a statement.

“We were looking at someone to anchor our EV strategy which is a critical and integral part of our plan to be ahead of the curve when it comes to EV maintenance, servicing and related areas in India,” said Kushal Karwa, co-founder, GoMechanic.

Prior to GoMechanic, he led business management for Ashok Leyland’s electric mobility,  eMobility-as-a-service (eMaaS). “The stint at Ashok Leyland provided me substantial insights into the EV industry and specifically around the EV ecosystem,” said Kumar.

An Indian School of Business alumnus, Kumar earned his management in business administration (MBA) in 2017. 

Kumar claims the company’s presence in the Indian market will help it provide EV infrastructure like charging points and maintenance services across several cities.
