In a significant development for the automotive industry, Amit Gujral, Chief Marketing Officer of JK Tyre & Industries, has announced his departure after five years with the company, as per reports.

Gujral's exit marks the end of a tenure that saw him lead several key initiatives, most notably the celebrated campaign "JK Tyre Desh Ka Tyre - Jab Hindustan Mile Hindustan Se." This campaign reinforced JK Tyre's brand identity as a symbol of national pride with international ambitions, resonating widely with the Indian audience.

With a cumulative 28 years of experience in marketing, Gujral's expertise spans product development, brand positioning, and the cultivation of marketing campaigns that strike a chord with consumers.

JK Tyre & Industries has yet to announce a successor to Gujral.
