S Mahesh Babu, CEO of Switch Automotive Mobility Ltd, has announced his decision to step down from the role, effective 31 August 2025. He will be pursuing opportunities outside the Group. Beginning 1 September 2025, Ganesh Mani, currently Chief Operating Officer at Ashok Leyland, will take additional charge as CEO of Switch Automotive Mobility Ltd (Switch India). The aim is to optimise costs while continuing to focus on delivering advanced battery-electric buses and light commercial vehicles (LCVs).
Dheeraj G Hinduja, Chairman of Switch Mobility, acknowledged Babu’s contributions, stating, “We thank Mahesh for his significant role in helping Switch India achieve EBITDA breakeven in FY25. With the foundation now in place, the company is poised to scale further and move towards profitability. Ganesh Mani’s deep expertise in operational excellence and transformation will help steer Switch India through its next phase of growth.”
Switch India currently offers a competitive electric commercial vehicle portfolio, including the IeV3 (1.25-tonne) and IeV4 (1.75-tonne) LCVs, available via select Ashok Leyland LCV dealerships. In the electric bus segment, Switch has standard and low-floor 12-metre city buses capable of delivering up to 200 km range on a single charge.
With a strong order book of over 1,500 electric buses, Switch India is aiming to double its revenue in FY26, building on its momentum in the zero-emission mobility space.
