Opening 22 new dealerships in a short span is a milestone for India Kawasaki Motors, and speaking on the new landmark, Mr. Yutaka Yamashita Managing Director of IKM, said:
Geographically India is a very big country and to reach out the customers is a challenging task. A solid dealer base is very essential. With these ten new dealerships we will have total 22 dealerships. Now our customers and sports bike enthusiasts from these cities can see, touch & feel our variety of products. A robust dealer network will also help us to make continuous improvements in our after-sales services, which is linked with customer satisfaction. And I feel, customer satisfaction can be achieved by working on three factors namely product, pre-sales service and after sales service.
