He was responding to a query on whether Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) would consider partnering local new age technology firms for future product development, which could also flow to parent Suzuki Motor Corporation. An example of it is the development of popular compact SUV Vitara Brezza, the development for which was led by Indian engineers. Going forward, he said, “through us, those kind of technology development will happen further” and MSI will collaborate group-wise with Suzuki to develop new technology.
