Naveen Murugan is a versatile entrepreneur. The head of product for an agricultural trading network, he is a visionary and strategist, with innovation and optimisation as his core strengths.
It is no wonder that the ambitious entrepreneur chooses the all-electric SUV Hyundai IONIQ 5 as his travel partner.
Travel+Leisure India & South Asia catches up with Murugan as he unplugs his Hyundai IONIQ 5 from the charger to set course for an outing with his wife.
The vehicle is equipped with a high-speed charging system, compatible with a wide range of charging infrastructure including a wall box charger for convenient home charging. The all-electric SUV can go from 10 percent to 80 percent in nearly 18 minutes, depending on various external factors.
As he loads his luggage in the spacious boot, Murugan says, "I had dreamt of running my own company since I was a child. There were moments of self-doubt when I wasn't always sure if I had it in me. But I kept at it day after day and ended up running three start-ups. Success isn't always defined by the size of your dreams."
