We're starting a new podcast series, called the Boss Talks where we feature CEOs, MDs, and all the movers and shakers of the Indian automotive industry. We'll talk to them about the ups and downs, challenges faced and future opportunities. We have Santosh Iyer, MD and CEO of Mercedes-Benz India with Ed Sirish Chandran for the first episode with us in the studio. They talk about his journey to becoming CEO and completing 15 years with Mercedes-Benz India, future plans of the brand, his daily job as a CEO and what the future holds for us. For the ones looking to make a career in the automotive space, we do have a segment on careers with Mercedes-Benz India as well. Don't forget to watch the full podcast because we have a special rapid-fire round with him where we get a little hint of his likes, dislikes and some never seen, never heard before things.
