Introduction
Bon Shin Seo, the head of Hyundai India, is an out and out production man and a people manager. He distinguished himself in the Hyundai Alabama plant in United States before being sent to India. He works out of Hyundai’s Chennai plant at Sriperembudur where 80% of the leaders in the plant are Indian.

The most important question that Bon is asked everyday is “Can Hyundai become number 1 in India replacing Maruti Suzuki from its long occupied position?” Bon generally diverts the conversation by saying that “ Number one is not important, it’s the Hyundai brand value which is more important for the company”.

It has created a positioning in the minds of people, which is more around comfort, features and fuel economy. But Maruti still occupies number one position in India and is way ahead of Hyundai in terms of Sales figure, at the same time Honda has started showing growth in the last few years spurred majorly by its famous Sedan model – Honda City.
