JBM is India's largest bus manufacturer. From battery production to bus operation, the company covers a wide range of services—and that in 37 countries. At BUS2BUS 2024, JBM introduced its first electric coach.
Nishant Arya, JBM's vice chairman and selected by the Economic Times 2023 as one of the Top 40 under 40, explained in the podcast studio at BUS2BUS the impact of working in different countries and multicultural teams on the understanding of mobility, and how repeatedly entering new markets affects the adaptability and development of the company.
Passenger transport must be comfortable and practical
Furthermore, he emphasized why public transport must above all be comfortable and practical:
“Most people in different parts of the world use public transport out of necessity, not because they want to. We need to answer the question of how to make public transport the first choice,” he said.
What differences Nishant Arya has observed in terms of mobility decisions between individual countries and cultures, why he finds it so important to think beyond what customers demand, and what he has learned through Formula 1 for his business, you can find out in the current episode, moderated by Totinia Hörner.
