A DELICATE BALANCE between lemon juice and water is what makes good lemonade. Too much lemon and the drink turns sour. Excess water makes it bland. The country’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki’s reinvention strategy is much like perfecting this lemonade, with Bharat and India as the two key ingredients. On one hand, the company is obligated to serve its core customer base, the entry-level car buyer. On the other, it can’t afford to ignore the high-margin SUV segment that has almost doubled in the past five years.

The country today is divided into two distinct markets, says Maruti Suzuki India’s 87-year-old Chairman R.C. Bhargava: “There’s a Bharat, which buys a two-wheeler because a car is too expensive. And then there’s an India whose buying capacity matches any other part of the developed world. The only way forward is to cater to the transportation needs of both.”
