As per the internal communication, Sumeet Narang will lead the newly conceived ‘Urbanite Business Unit’ (UBU).
“I feel very confident that each of our ‘Business Heads’ shall lead us to ever greater heights in the area of their responsibility and that they shall collectively, led by Rakesh, ensure that the outstanding work that we do in design, development, engineering, purchase, and production continues to earn us and our country a worthy name and sincere goodwill worldwide,” Bajaj said in the internal communication dated July 20.
