Mr. Roy Kurian, National Business Head, India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd., said, “Yamaha has always been a committed player in the two-wheeler market and makes consistent efforts to adapt to market demand by launching exciting products year-on-year. I am extremely happy that Ray has been well received and looking at the current market scenario where the scooter segment is growing tremendously, I am positive that Ray will be able to hold its ground as the number one scooter in the country. Similarly, our bikes are equally special to us. A lot of thought and hard-work goes into our products and we prioritize our customers’ needs above everything else. Having said that, I extend my gratitude towards our loyal customers and channel partners who have played a key role in our consistent growth in India over the years.”

The motif at the Yamaha booth was in sync with the concept adopted by the company this year based on “Yamaha Global DNA” and the message being “Excitement”. Known for their stylish designs, innovation and high technology powered with exciting performance, all the products on display grabbed much of the attention from the onlookers.
