Here’s What Top Official Says

Commenting about the move, the company’s Chief Sales Officer, Myung-sik Sohn, said, “The Leasing model is a global megatrend, gaining momentum in India too. This model resonates particularly well with new-age consumers seeking flexible mobility solutions at appealing price points. With an industry forecast projecting 100% growth over the next 4-5 years, we anticipate our leasing service will outpace the industry growth average on account of better product range and service offerings.”

Comment from ORIX’s

ORIX’s CEO also reacted about the same. He said, “Leasing is the next big trend in India where people are more concerned about mobility without any hassles attached to it. Leasing provides all that convenience under a single contract which offers attractive rentals linked usage, a fully serviced vehicle, insurance for full period and option to change the car on closure of lease. We expect this space to grow over the coming years.”
