Jyoti Malhotra, Managing Director, Volvo Car India, said, “Dealer employees are usually the first interface that Volvo customers have with the Company. They play a crucial role in customer satisfaction. For us, they are an integral part of our team and therefore the company does have responsibility towards them, more so during these unprecedented times. While we hope and pray that there is no pay-out under this initiative it is definitely a comforting hope for those in our dealership ecosystem” said.
