In the announcement company underlined Narasimhan's extensive background in sales operations, business planning, and financial management, gained from his tenure at prominent FMCG and consumer technology organisations such as PepsiCo, Britannia, and Samsung.

Last year, Motorola also shared its plans to ramp up investments and increase its marketing strategies in India over the next one to three years. Owned by Lenovo, Motorola’s market re-entry with the G and E series smartphones in India has been a key driver for growth in its sales.
