Mahindra Logistics Appoints Mohammed Turra as MD & CEO, Hemant Sikka to Step Down

Mahindra Logistics has appointed Mohammed Turra as its next Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Hemant Sikka, who will step down from the role on December 15, 2026, to pursue other professional interests.

Turra will join the company as an Additional Director and MD & CEO designate from November 16, 2026, and assume the MD & CEO role on December 16, 2026. His five-year term will run until December 15, 2031, subject to shareholder approval.

Turra has been Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra First Choice Wheels (MFCW) since October 2024, where he has led the growth of the group's multi-brand used-vehicle platform. An alumnus of IIM Bangalore, he has over 28 years of experience across industry and consulting, having worked with Boston Consulting Group, Unilever, IBM and Alstom in India, the Middle East, Europe and the US.

He joined the Mahindra Group in 2016 as part of its Group Strategy Office and subsequently led Quiklyz, the leasing business of Mahindra Finance, before taking charge of MFCW.

Sikka's resignation follows a 26-year association with the Mahindra Group. He will cease to be MD & CEO and a director of Mahindra Logistics at the close of December 15, 2026, while his last working day with the company will be December 23, 2026.

During his tenure, Sikka held several leadership positions, including President of the Farm Equipment Sector and Head of Manufacturing at Mahindra's Automotive Sector. Mahindra Logistics said the company had improved profitability under his leadership, with a renewed focus on customer orientation, execution and process simplification.

Mahindra Group Chairman and CEO Anish Shah said Turra would bring strategic insight and execution focus to the logistics business as it enters its next phase of growth.
