Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), a subsidiary of Suzuki

Motor Corporation of Japan, is Indias largest passenger car
company, accounting for a substantial part of the domestic
car market. MSILs 25 years of success can be attributed to
its sole mission of Motorising India. Since inception, MSIL
has produced and sold over 7.5 million vehicles in India and
exported over 500,000 units to Europe and other countries.
Right from inception, Maruti brought to India, a very simple
yet powerful Japanese philosophy smaller, fewer, lighter,
shorter and neater. To reach out to its customers, MSIL has
built a strong sales network of 600 outlets spread over 393
towns and cities. MSIL also provides maintenance support to
customers through 2,628 workshops spread over 1,200 towns
and cities.
The company has also retained its competitive edge by
offering high-quality products. In the field, the products are
supported by rapidly expanding networks. The company has
diverse networks for new cars, spares, service, pre-owned
cars and so on, and all of them are in an expansion mode to
enable the company to get closer to the customer.
The companys effort of providing all car-related needs
from learning to driving a car at Maruti Driving Schools to car
insurance, extended warranty and eventually exchanging the
existing car for a new oneall under one roof at dealerships
also enhances customer satisfaction.
MSIL extensive operations are powered by a state-of-the-art
information technology (IT) infrastructure which forms an
integral part of its business strategy. Uptime and availability
of this infrastructure is critical to the not only MSILs operations but also its extensive network of suppliers and distributors. To ensure availability of its IT resources, MSIL depends
upon Tata Communications DDoS services for ensuring that
external threats do not bring down the infrastructure.
