Consultancy launches Indian subsidiary

Ricardo India Private will be chaired by Surjit Singh Kalra, who has been Ricardo's representative in India for over 20 years.

The formal launch of Ricardo India Private underscores the commitment of Ricardo to providing an improved and expanded service to clients in India.

Ricardo's ongoing projects for Indian customers encompass a broad range of disciplines, including engine and transmission engineering, control and electronics and strategic consulting.

Ricardo has found its services in demand from Indian customers as they seek to satisfy the increasingly stringent demands of legislators and consumers in both the domestic Indian and international markets.

Ricardo India Private has been formed to consolidate the recent significant growth of Ricardo's Indian business and to provide a solid foundation for its further development.

The new company was officially released on the evening of November 2nd at a ceremony at the ITC Maurya Hotel, New Delhi.

Ricardo India Private will be chaired by Surjit Singh Kalra, who has been Ricardo's representative in India for over 20 years.

He will be supported by Executive Vice President Trevor Downes, who has worked for Ricardo in the UK since 1996 in roles including diesel engine development and testing as well as in operational management positions.

Dave Shemmans, Ricardo Group CEO, said: "The launch of Ricardo India will bring us closer to our customers in India and enable us to offer an improved and more responsive level of service".

"An integral part of the global Ricardo network of offices and technical centres, Ricardo India will also enable us to more effectively support our Indian customers as they increasingly aspire to enter regional and global markets".
