TR Parasuraman currently works with an affiliate of Toyota Industries Corporation, Japan, and has been working in the Toyota Group of companies for nearly 21 years. As well as his role as President and Deputy Managing Director of Toyota Industries Engine India (which is an affiliate of Toyota Industries Corporation and a joint venture between Toyota Industries Corporation and Kirloskar Systems), he is the Senior Vice President of Bangalore Chamber of Industry and Commerce (BCIC), and likely to become the President in June this year.
Further, he was the past chairman of the Quality Circle Forum of India (QCFI), Bangalore, and held many positions at the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and BCIC.
TR has moved through the various sectors of the business (including brakes, transmission and axles), and has worked in functions as diverse as manufacturing, purchasing, finance, HRD, and safety and environment. This, combined with his ability to network through industry bodies such as BCIC, CII, ACMA, QCFI and the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA), has afforded him an abundance of knowledge and business acumen in the automotive industry.
He recalls an earlier assignment where he had the opportunity to work at Toyota Motor Corporation Japan between 1999 and 2000. “I learned to speak Japanese fluently and experienced the Toyota way of working from the masters,” he says.
