Magenta Mobility, a leading player in India’s electric vehicle logistics space, just made a big leadership move. Sujit Cherian is now the new CEO of the company. Maxson Lewis, who started Magenta and has led it from the ground up, will now serve as Chairman.

This isn’t just a title shuffle. It marks a new chapter for the company, especially as India pushes harder toward greener transport and net-zero targets.

More businesses are turning to electric trucks and electric mini trucks for deliveries. And Magenta? It’s right at the center of that shift.
