1. Executive Leadership Program for Automobile Retail Sector
Pravin Dalal School of Entrepreneurship and Family Business Management (PDSE & FBM), NMIMS conducts the Executive Leadership Program for the Automobile Retail Sector, a transformative initiative designed to empower the next generation of automobile dealership owners every year in collaboration with Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). NMIMS PDSE & FBM has meticulously designed this program with a laser focus on addressing the ever-evolving needs of family business owners within the dynamic automobile dealership industry.
The Auto Dealership Industry facilitates sales of the auto OEMs and helps to shape the buyer’s perception of the OEM. Operating an auto dealership calls for ability and willingness to support the business till it becomes self-sustaining, as well as efficient working capital management and keeping a tight control over fixed costs, given the slim margins involved in the business. Dealerships have to deal with unexpected shifts in buyer preferences towards newer models launched by competitor OEMs thereby affecting their revenues. Auto Industry is changing and evolving and hence, Automobile dealers would have to adopt newer ways of doing businesses. The current and future dealers in the industry need to learn-unlearn-relearn to manage the business to cater to the changing dynamics of the industry and excel as leaders.
