Parag Satpute, MD, Bridgestone India: “Tyre management as a service is still in its nascent stage in India; however, customer preferences are changing. Traditional business models are being disrupted and overall the mobility segment is undergoing a rapid change. We at Bridgestone India are focussed on pioneering new business models and strengthening our solutions business to accelerate our growth plans. This investment will enable us to create higher value for our customers in India and help them improve the return on investments.”

These services based on digital applications assume importance as more and more fleet operators are seeking options like "pay per km" models when it comes to the procurement of tyres, said the release.

This helps the fleet owners to maximise the total cost of ownership of their operations and Fleeca India has the expertise in offering such solutions to its customers, it added.
