From Maruti 800 To Innovation: Osamu Suzuki’s Impact On India

Osamu Suzuki, who headed Suzuki Motor Corp for over 40 years, was instrumental in transforming India’s automobile sector, particularly with the launch of the iconic Maruti 800.

During his visit to Japan last year, PM Modi met with Osamu Suzuki to discuss opportunities for further collaboration between India and Suzuki, focusing on electric vehicles, battery production, and sustainable growth initiatives.

They also discussed building local innovation systems in India through skill development programs such as the Japan-India Institutes of Manufacturing (JIM) and Japanese Endowed Courses (JEC).

Remembering Suzuki’s impact on India, PM Modi praised the transformational role of Suzuki Motors in the country’s automotive sector.

“Reforms undertaken by PM Modi are indescribable and these reforms are changing India into a ‘Model Landscape’ while the self-reliance (Aatmanirbhar) theme is supported by the Japanese investors very strongly,” Osamu Suzuki had earlier mentioned.
