New Goodyear India CFO

As of 13 July, Manish Mundra is Goodyear India Limited’s new chief financial officer. Mundra returns to the tyre maker after a two-year absence, during which time he served as the New Delhi-based chief financial officer of Rockwell Automation. He originally joined Goodyear India in January 2013 as country financial controller and was appointed associate director FP&A in 2016.

“Manish has hands-on experience in managing the entire gamut of finance including FP&A, M&A, business valuation, fundraising, shared services, regulatory compliances, enterprise risk management, large scale capex, productivity improvement projects, resolving technical issues, designing and developing business processes and implementing highly successful automated solutions,” states Goodyear India, adding that the new chief financial officer “brings extensive finance and leadership experience with his prior knowledge in the tyre industry.”

Goodyear India is 74 per cent owned by US-based tyre major Goodyear Tire & Rubber. The business is a leading player in India’s agricultural tyre market and has a high share of the sector’s original equipment business. Its presence in the country’s commercial vehicle tyre category is, by the company’s own admission, limited.
