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.
Srivastava announced his new role through a LinkedIn post, stating, “I’m delighted to step into the new role of Deputy CEO at VinFast India [E-Scooters]. Excited for this new chapter and the opportunities ahead.”
He joins VinFast after a career spanning more than 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 spearheading the AD Inventory Funding Programme, which, according to his LinkedIn profile, onboarded 894 authorised 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 programmes aimed at improving loan approval rates for first-time credit customers.
Before joining HMSI in February 2011, Srivastava spent more than four years at Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance as Deputy Chief Manager – Alternate Channel. In that role, he established alternate distribution channels across eastern Uttar Pradesh and managed strategic partnerships with banks and insurance brokers.
Earlier in his career, he held positions at SBI Life Insurance and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, building extensive experience in sales, channel development, and financial services.
Srivastava’s appointment comes as VinFast accelerates 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.
