Future Mobility in India: sustainability versus growth?

Hosted by the LSESU German Society

Old Theatre, Old Building,

Speaker

Günter Butschek

Chair

Dr Philipp Rode

Tata Motors is ranked in the top half on the Fortune Global 500 list of the world's biggest corporations. The Automotive Mission Plan 2016-26 (AMP 2026) is the collective vision of Government of India and the Indian Automotive Industry on where the Vehicles, Autocomponents, and Tractor industries should reach over the next ten years in terms of size, contribution to India’s development, global footprint, technological maturity, competitiveness, and institutional structure and capabilities. Simultaneously the plan poses an hitherto unadressed conflict between growth and sustainability, security, new infrastructure and progressive business models. Guenter Butschek will be in conversation with Philipp Rode, Executive Director of LSE Cities. 

Guenter Butschek is the current CEO and Managing Director of Tata Motors Worldwide. Apart from managing Tata Motors’ India business, Mr Butschek is also responsible for all other domestic and overseas subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates of Tata Motors (except the company’s UK subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc). He took over on February 15, 2016, after a global search spanning almost 2 years. Prior to this he occupied the position of COO of Airbus for four years and previously he worked at Daimler AG for 25 years.

Philipp Rode is Executive Director of LSE Cities and Associate Professorial Research Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is co-director of the LSE Executive MSc in Cities and co-convenes the LSE Sociology Course on ‘City Making: The Politics of Urban Form’. 

The LSESU German Society hosts this event as part of its annual German Symposium. In 2017, the Symposium's guiding motto “Risking Transition” will serve as a springboard to launch into detailed discussions on transition in the political, business and cultural landscape.
