VinFast India Appoints Shalabh Rajvanshi as Deputy CEO for Two-wheeler Business

Vietnamese EV manufacturer VinFast has appointed Shalabh Rajvanshi as Deputy CEO of its India two-wheeler business, as the company accelerates its push into one of the world's largest two-wheeler markets.

Rajvanshi spent nearly two decades at Hero MotoCorp, where he was instrumental in building and scaling dealer networks across the country. He subsequently led the vehicle lending vertical at Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company, deepening his understanding of retail financing in the mobility segment.

In his new capacity, Rajvanshi is expected to focus on expanding VinFast's dealer footprint, building out financing access, strengthening after-sales service infrastructure, and developing charging and fleet ecosystem partnerships across India.

Rajvanshi noted that India's EV transition will be determined not by product specifications alone, but by the depth of distribution, financing, and service ecosystems that brands are able to establish. VinFast, which has been expanding its global footprint with a stated emphasis on emerging markets, has positioned India as a strategic priority for its two-wheeler segment.
