MUMBAI: Sajeev Rajasekharan, former EVP of Suzuki Motorcycle India, has joined Harley Davidson India as the managing director.

In his new role, he will be driving Harley Davidson's recently announced plans to launch mid-size motorcycles in the 250-500 cc range in India.

Rajasekharan joined Suzuki as executive vice president for sales and after-sales in July 2016.
