Volkswagen entered the Indian market in 2001 and has since delivered over 9 million vehicles across 101 factories in 27 countries, employing over 550,000 people. However, in Indore Volkswagen faces strong competition from Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai and needs to improve its services, offers, advertising, dealership network, and address customer complaints in order to improve its market share. Research found customers want lower prices, better financing options, and more information about Volkswagen vehicles. The company's general manager acknowledged brand awareness is low and needs improving through marketing to create a stronger brand identity.
