About Kaustubh Deshpande

Exciting times! I’m currently leading the development of Tata Motors\' Used Car Business vertical and driving growth in the accessories sector, while also scaling up car line sales as part of a special project.With over 13 years of experience in strategy and business development, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with the Office of the MD to craft and execute high-impact business strategies. A key highlight in my career was playing a pivotal role in scaling Tata Motors’ Electric Vehicle (EV) business from the ground up to a $1B operation and growing the Passenger Vehicles business by 5X in just four years.Earlier in my career, as a Project Manager, I successfully led cross-functional teams to deliver nine projects worth $65 million. A standout achievement was my leadership in the Tata Ace project, a game-changing vehicle in India’s last-mile transportation sector.Outside of work, I’m an avid reader with a passion for History and Mythology, and a dedicated traveler. My explorations have taken me across India and to 10 other countries, with one of my most memorable journeys being a 14-day trek through the Himalayas to reach the world’s highest motorable road at 18,380 feet.
