New Eyes on the Road

SUDARSHAN VENU—

known for expanding the reins of Chennai-based TVS Motor Company to Asia, Africa and Europe— has been given a new role. He’s the new MD. His father, Venu Srinivasan, is now the Chairman Emeritus, while sister Lakshmi has become MD of Sundaram-Clayton, the group’s component manufacturing firm. With the twowheeler industry yet to recover fully to pre-Covid levels, and challenges rising from start-ups and newer electric vehicle players, it looks like Venu’s first few years will be packed with action.
