Before starting an electric car brand under his own name, Henrik was a top design executive with BMW, Ford Motor Company and Aston Martin. In 2013, he sold the business to the Chinese Wangxiang group and set up HF Design & Technology, which produces cars, bikes and other transportation products. He said he has been thinking of exploring opportunities in India and China to work in niche areas like designing and marketing products under his brand HF, and co-producing the products with joint venture partners in India. “I want to explore the existing manufacturing abilities of Indian companies and create products together,” he said.
