Vinfast India has appointed Vineet Srivastava as Deputy Chief Executive Officer for its e-scooter business, strengthening its leadership team ahead of the company’s entry into India’s electric two-wheeler market.
Announcing his new role through a LinkedIn post, Srivastava said, “I am delighted to step into the new role of Deputy CEO at WinFast India. [E-Scooters]. “Excited for this new chapter and the opportunities ahead.”
He joins VinFast after a career spanning over 15 years at Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI), where he most recently served as General Manager. During his tenure, he led key functions including sales strategy and planning, institutional sales and retail finance, overseeing nationwide sales planning, market strategy alignment and financing operations.
One of his notable achievements at HMSI was leading the AD Inventory Funding Programme, which, according to his LinkedIn profile, covered 894 authorized secondary network partners and facilitated funding of over ₹2.7 billion. The initiative was designed to improve dealers’ working capital access and strengthen the company’s presence in rural markets. He also played a key role in expanding retail finance programs aimed at improving loan approval rates for first-time credit customers.
Before joining HMSI in February 2011, Srivastava spent over four years at Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance as Deputy Chief Manager – Alternative Channel. In that role, he established alternative distribution channels in eastern Uttar Pradesh and managed strategic partnerships with banks and insurance brokers.
Early in his career, he held positions in SBI Life Insurance and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance and gained extensive experience in sales, channel development and financial services.
Srivastava’s appointment comes as VinFast ramps up preparations for its electric mobility business in India, with the company gearing up to expand its presence in the country’s fast-growing electric two-wheeler segment.
