As he was the top man in Toyota India then he could be blamed for the poor condition of Toyota here. VW must think twice before keeping that person who has not given any dynamic growth to a company from last so many years and now has left that company.
I believe its the opposite,the way toyota functions did not give much margin for him to take the dynamic growth path.
You are right. It is just that Toyota's priority was not India though Swamy tried very hard to give it a dynamic growth. As an insider I know he made enormous contribution. He was the force behind successes they are enjoying today. Japs are so ungreatful and racist. They never allow non Japanese to be the top man, Frustrated he left just the way Toyota Top man in US James Press left. Name a Jap company where top man is non Jap
All is not so good in Toyota as we believe. There are so many people who are leaving Toyota. Just ask any recruiter all their CVs are in the market. So much for their flaunted Toyota way and Mutual trust
