ABOUT MARUTI SUZUKI
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), leader in the Indian automobile industry, had launched NEXA, its new premium sales channel in July 2015. NEXA marks the first initiative by an automobile company to go beyond selling cars and create a new format of retail experience for the customer. Maruti Suzuki has consistently led the industry in terms of reach, depth and quality of sales and service network. The high level of customer satisfaction at the network has contributed to the Company achieving a market share of over 45%. Over the years, Maruti Suzuki has relied on customer feedback to introduce new products and create new categories. It was also the first to offer a bouquet of “solutions” to customers (insurance, finance, trade-in of pre-owned cars) at its dealerships. The next step is taking the lead in offering customers “experience”, through NEXA.
