Mercedes India CEO Ditches His S-Class And Takes An Auto-Rickshaw To Evade Pune Traffic
Martin Schwenk, the CEO of Mercedes Benz India, published a photo on Thursday showing the vehicle that he uses to avoid traffic in Pune. Mr. Schwenk posted a photo on Instagram showing him travelling to his destination in an auto-rickshaw. His social media post has drawn interest on the internet.
Mr. Schwenk, who drives a Mercedes S-Class, was soon snarled up in traffic in Pune. According to a post on Instagram, he made the decision to get out of his car, walk a few kilometres, and then ride in an auto-rickshaw.
Along with the picture, he wrote, “If your S-class is stuck in traffic on the wonderful Pune roads – what do you do? Maybe getting off the car, start walking for a few KM’s and then grabbing a rickshaw?”
His picture prompted his followers to ask about his experience. A user wrote, “Well, lucky you. Not everyone is fortunate enough to find an autorickshaw driver who agrees to take you to your destination.” Another user wrote, “Or order some Vada pav to exact location.” The third wrote, “I would still sit in the S-Class and enjoy its rich comfort even with the traffic.”
In 2018, Mr. Schwenk was appointed CEO of Mercedes-Benz India. He was previously Mercedes-Benz China’s Chief Financial Officer. Since 2006, he has been connected to Mercedes.
