We meet up with the outgoing MD & CEO, of Mercedes-Benz India, Eberhard Kern, at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Pune. Emotional after a stint that has seen him tide the company through an Indian industry low, he talks about the plans behind producing the Maybach in India, whether next year will be the year of the SUVs, the need to educate people on diesel and the intention behind expanding the brand portfolio rapidly.
