Rajesh Goel quits Honda Cars India after 25 years of association

Rajesh Goel, Senior Vice-President and Director, Marketing and Sales, Honda Cars India, has resigned citing personal reasons and to pursue interests outside the company, after 25 years of association with the Japanese auto major.

He has been a part of HCIL since inception and will step down from his position on December 24. Yuichi Murata will take charge as Director, Marketing and Sales, according to multiple reports in the media.

“It is true that Rajesh Goel has tendered his resignation for personal reasons and has decided to pursue other interests outside the organisation. It has been decided, Yuichi Murata will take charge as Director, Marketing and Sales, Honda Cars India,” the company’s spokesperson said, as per the reports.

Murata has been in India as the Japanese counterpart to Goel and has been part of the Sales and Marketing, Public Relations and Product lines.

Goel completed his Bachelor in Commerce from Delhi University and International Marketing – Apparel from National Institute of Fashion Technology. He has also done Executive Development Training Program from IMD Business School.

The timing of Goel's departure clashes with the phase in which HCIL is struggling in the passenger vehicles market and had to announce closure of its manufacturing operations at its Greater Noida facility, last year, with the intent to improve business efficiency. The company has shifted its manufacturing to the Tapukara facility in Rajasthan.
