That’s what we create, we try to think in these two directions. ‘Moving you further’ is not only for Hyundai, it’s for the Customer, for the Employee, for the Vendor, for the Dealer, for how Hyundai can help them to move up in the larger context. And that’s exactly what we look at when the management takes a decision and a policy is made, that’s the center point. How we can move them further, so that the Operator becomes a Customer, Customer becomes a Fleet owner, Fleet Owner becomes a Corporate Customer, and that’s how the whole chain moves. That’s why I said, we would like to include some non-customer today to customer name so that my market share goes up 25 per cent, because by fighting in the red ocean we cannot become number one, there are sharks in the red ocean. The good news is customers are ready to pay more for good quality, and that’s where my company comes in, you have heard Hyundai means ‘Modern,’ and we want to position our product as a ‘Modern Premium Product’ in India, so this is the tagline for our product. That’s why the name SMART came, which we have defined as a acronym SMART, for Superior performance, Low Maintenance, Analytical capabilities, Enhanced Reliability and Advanced Technology. We will work on these five parameters only. We have also launched the ‘remote management system’ for excavators, by which the cluster of performance indicators on the machine you can you can transfer it on the mobile and the customer can remotely manage his machines by sitting at home or office, we call this ‘Hi-Mate,’ the telematics service on our machines for customer use. According to Sharwan Agnihotri, Head Mktg & BD, HCEI India is being seen as low priced market every time, you talk to any European or American, he will say India is a low price market, but now India is having European and American cars, we have those brands. We value quality and now, but only thing is we are demanding in terms of ‘good value for money’ if I pay for this I should have this, and that’s where Hyundai’s strength comes in, because we are into technology, we are into heavy engineering so we have our expertise in all that, now all we have to do is synergize to create that kind of strength here,”.
