Automobili Lamborghini has appointed Nidhi Kaistha as the new Head of Lamborghini India, effective April 1, 2025. This strategic leadership change comes as Lamborghini continues to accelerate its growth in India, which ranks as the sixth-largest market for the luxury automaker in the Asia Pacific region. Kaistha replaces Sharad Agarwal, who moved on to Classic Legends last year.
Nidhi Kaistha brings over 25 years of rich experience spanning the hospitality, aviation, and automotive sectors. Before joining Lamborghini, she was the Regional Sales and Pre-Owned Cars Manager at Porsche India, where she played a pivotal role in driving sales growth and customer engagement. Her extensive background includes leadership roles at BMW India, where she managed corporate, direct, and diplomatic sales, and contributed significantly to business strategy and high-performance car sales.
Her career journey began in aviation as cabin crew with Jet Airways and Gulf Air, followed by sales roles in luxury hospitality with Hyatt Hotels and Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts. This diverse experience has equipped her with a unique blend of customer-centric leadership and strategic business acumen, making her well-suited to lead Lamborghini’s India operations.
Under Kaistha’s leadership, Lamborghini India will oversee sales, marketing, and after-sales operations across its three dealerships located in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. The brand’s portfolio in India includes iconic models such as the Urus, Huracan, and the recently launched Revuelto. The company is also preparing to launch the highly anticipated Temerario on April 30, 2025.
India’s luxury car market has witnessed a surge in demand for high-performance vehicles, with Lamborghini selling a record 113 units in 2024—a 10% increase over the previous year. This growth underscores the expanding base of affluent customers and supercar enthusiasts in the country.
Francesco Scardaoni, Region Director of Automobili Lamborghini Asia Pacific, expressed confidence in Kaistha’s appointment,“We are delighted to welcome Nidhi Kaistha as Head of Lamborghini India. She brings a wealth of experience in the automotive industry, and we are confident that her strategic vision will drive further growth in India. India continues to be a market with immense growth potential for Lamborghini, and we look forward to strengthening our presence and delivering exceptional experiences to our customers in the region.”
Kaistha’s appointment aligns with Lamborghini’s broader strategy to deepen its footprint in India’s competitive luxury automotive market. Her focus will be on enhancing customer experience, expanding the dealer network, and aligning Lamborghini’s growth with global trends such as electrification and innovation.
With India emerging as a key market in the Asia Pacific, Lamborghini aims to cater to an increasingly discerning clientele seeking exclusive, high-performance vehicles. Kaistha’s leadership is expected to accelerate Lamborghini’s market penetration and brand positioning, leveraging her expertise in luxury brand management and customer engagement.
As Lamborghini India charts its next phase of growth, Kaistha’s role will be critical in navigating evolving consumer preferences and technological advancements.
