Rajiv Dube on
17th of May decided to resign from the post of President, Passenger cars
division, Tata Motors. He has been with the group for more than 27
years. His involvement in Tata’s success with Indica and Nano is
worth
mentioning. He worked hard to make Tata Motors one of the market
leaders. Thus, his position in Tata Motors was something people can only
dream of.
But all of a sudden on 17th of this month,he made public his plan
of resigning. This move of his was unexpected though. Rumours suggest
that he might head a new enterant in the passenger car business. He
might also look for something other than automotive industry too. His
future plans aren’t final yet and he said that he is on a long leave now
and he wont be joining anytime before July.
Mr S. Krishnan, Senior
Vice-President (Commercial), will take charge of
the passenger car division while Mr Girish Wagh, Head of the small
car project and the man behind the Nano, will handle the manufacturing
operations and product development activities. There are no
clear reasons behind Mr.Dube’s resignation, though the industry is full
of speculations. We will have to wait till July to know what he plans to
do.
