New Delhi: Avis India, a leading mobility service provider, appointed Aman Naagar as its new Managing Director on Monday. His elevation to the designation comes after the retirement of the former CEO and MD, Sunil Gupta.
A veteran in the car rental industry with experience spanning over two decades, Aman Naagar joined Avis India in 2000. Ascending from within and carving out his career, he was appointed COO of the Rent-a-Car division in 2015. Aman’s new role entails responsibilities to drive strategic and profitable development of the organisation comprising the Rent a Car and Car Leasing business.
Keith Rankin, President of International – Avis Budget Group, said, “It gives us great pleasure to announce Aman’s appointment as the new Managing Director of Avis India. He has risen from within the organisation with perseverance, delivering excellence throughout his career. We are confident that Aman will lead Avis India to new highs.”
“It is a moment of pride in my professional career to be appointed as the Managing Director of Avis India. Being a part of the organisation and recognised for my contributions fills me with delight and humility. I look forward to building Avis India as the best mobility company in India through Innovation and collaboration while at the same time maintaining the highest standards of customer service, Naagar said.
AVIS India began as a joint venture between Oberoi Group and Avis Budget Group. Initially providing ground transportation to expats staying across the Oberoi chain, the company moved to corporate travel. Later, it expanded to provide B2C service through its website and mobile App. The transition from corporate to B2C was headed by Aman Naagar, which gave the company new direction and opened new revenue streams.
