Chennai, April 11

Mr V. Sivaramakrishnan, Vice-President - Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford India Pvt Ltd, is leaving the company at the end of this month. He is expected to join a Chennai-based listed company, according to reliable sources. Mr Sivaramakrishnan is leaving Ford India when its newly launched sedan Fiesta has been doing well in the market. The company notched up record sales of 5,929 units of all its models put together in March 2006, an 83 per cent jump over the sales in March 2005. An electronics engineer and an MBA with specialisation in marketing and international business, Mr Sivaramakrishnan joined Ford India in August 1996 after a nearly four-and-a-half year stint at Procter & Gamble. He was posted with Ford Motor Company in the UK for about three years and took over as Vice-President - Marketing in August 2005.
