The appointment comes after the post was left vacant due to the sudden and untimely demise of Rudratej Singh in April this year. The company had then issued the statement, “The cause behind the sudden and unexpected demise is yet to be ascertained.”

As a priority market, India presents tremendous potential for future growth and development of the luxury automotive segment. He brings excellent preconditions to navigate BMW Group India in a challenging business situation due the ongoing corona pandemic. We are confident his strategic thinking, hands-on approach and ability to drive people will navigate the organisation in these turbulent times.”

Pawah had joined the company as the President in 2017 and in 2018, he was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of BMW Group Australia and New Zealand.
