The Indian Chamber of Commerce in Korea has named Dilip Sundaram, senior vice president and country director of Mahindra Korea, as its new chairman.
Sundaram will take over the chamber’s chairman post formerly held by Novelis Asia president Shashi Maudgal starting July 1, according to ICCK.
Before becoming the chief of Mahindra Korea in 2014, Sundaram worked as senior vice president and chief financial officer at Ssangyong Motor Company, in which Mahindra & Mahindra holds a majority stake.
The new ICCK chairman also worked at global automobile component manufacturer ArvinMeritor, United Technologies Corporation and PricewaterhouseCoopers, before joining the Indian automaker.
Sundaram vowed to work toward forging new business partnerships between Korea and India, stating, “Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Make in India’ initiative will help boost bilateral trade and investment, which is set to rise exponentially in the near future.”
The ICCK, founded in 2010, is dedicated to developing and expanding investment and trade between South Korea and India. The organization regularly hosts seminars and programs to enhance business ties between the two countries.
