Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast has appointed Anurag Saxena as Deputy Chief Executive Officer of VinFast India, strengthening its leadership team as the company pushes ahead with its expansion strategy in the country’s fast-growing electric mobility market.
Saxena brings nearly 23 years of experience from Honda, where he held several senior leadership roles across sales, operations, and market development. His deep understanding of India’s automotive ecosystem is expected to play a crucial role in shaping VinFast’s local growth roadmap.
In his new role, Saxena will focus on operational scale, market expansion, and long-term strategic growth, helping VinFast strengthen its presence as competition intensifies in India’s EV segment. The move aligns with the company’s broader ambition to build a strong foothold in one of the world’s most promising electric vehicle markets.
India has become a key battleground for global EV manufacturers due to rising government support, expanding charging infrastructure, and increasing consumer interest in sustainable mobility. By bringing in seasoned leadership with strong industry expertise, VinFast is positioning itself to navigate the complexities of the market while accelerating its localisation and expansion efforts.
The appointment signals VinFast’s commitment to building a robust leadership structure as it works toward scaling its EV ecosystem and capturing opportunities in India’s rapidly evolving electric mobility landscape.
