In a career spanning almost four decades of rich experience in the Indian automobile industry, Mr. Ramasubramanian spearheads business at Asia Motor Works Ltd. Ramasubramanian guides the overall performance and growth of the organization and bring in modern practices in the traditional industry.
Starting his working career in 1975 with TELCO (now Tata Motors Ltd), in their Research & Development Centre, he was responsible for the development of the first indigenously developed Banjo axle. He was also in-charge for the development of transmissions for all Tata trucks.

Later on, he became Director-Technical and Chief of Product Development (1993-2003) at Eicher Motors and Group Head for Product Development for the entire Eicher Group of Companies. Under his leadership, he crafted the development of vehicles ranging from 5 tonnes to 49 tonnes. These vehicles have over time become benchmarks for the CV industry in terms of quality and enhanced performance and user-friendliness. With his keen interest in processes, ARS introduced several new processes like QFD (Quality Function Deployment) & Concurrent Engineering that enabled establishment of world-class development and progressive reduction in cycle times.
In 2003 he took over as CEO of Eicher Tractors. He was responsible for rationalization of operation and introduction of a range of water-cooled tractors. He catalyzed the turn- around for the company into a profitable organization before it was bought over by TAFE. In April 2006, he took over as CEO of Eicher Motors (Commercial Vehicle Unit).
