Avis India promotes Aman Naagar as Managing Director

Avis India, a mobility service provider, has promoted Aman Naagar as its Managing Director. This change comes due to retirement of the former CEO and MD Sunil Gupta. 

A veteran in the car rental industry with experience spanning over two decades, Naagar joined Avis India in 2000. He was appointed COO of the Rent-a-Car division in 2015. Aman’s new role entails responsibilities to drive strategic and profitable development of the organisation comprising the Rent a Car and Car Leasing business.

Keith Rankin, President of International - Avis Budget Group, said, "It gives us great pleasure to announce Aman’s appointment as the new Managing Director of Avis India. He has risen from within the organisation with perseverance, delivering excellence throughout his career.  We are confident that Aman will lead Avis India to new highs". 

Avis India began as a joint venture between Oberoi Group and Avis Budget Group. Initially providing ground transportation to ex-pats staying across the Oberoi chain, the company moved into corporate travel. Later, it expanded to provide B2C service through its website and mobile App. The transition from Corporate to B2C was headed by Aman Naagar, which gave the company new direction and opened new revenue streams.
