This, the 27th episode of our podcast series The Master’s Voice, features Malind Kapur, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Channel Development, Piaggio Vehicles Pvt. Ltd, in conversation with Pavan R Chawla, about literally driving business on the wheels of purpose.
Malind speaks of how the three-wheeler arm of the Piaggio business stepped up to the challenges of the pandemic-enforced lockdown, and of its innovative initiatives including selling, through the mobile and web platforms, auto rickshaws to people who had lost their jobs and livelihoods during the pandemic.
In the process, the company helped thousands of drivers and their families stay on their feet and even helped them ward off extreme deprivation including possible starvation, by not only helping them make a living, but in the initial days, even helping them with food supplies, and also providing their children scholarships to continue their education after standard X.
