Osamu Suzuki, architect of India’s ₹47,000 car revolution, dies at 94

New Delhi: Osamu Suzuki, the visionary who brought affordable mobility to millions in India with the Maruti 800 and positioned the country as Suzuki Motor Corporation’s global growth engine, has died. Best known for forging Suzuki’s landmark partnership with the Indian government in the 1980s, Osamu Suzuki’s determination and foresight made India the company’s most critical market. “Osamu Suzuki didn’t just bring a car to India; he brought hope and transformation," Bhargava wrote in The Maruti Story. “Osamu San’s contribution to the Indian economy, and for building bridges between India and Japan, was acknowledged by the conferment of the Padma Bhushan on him," Bhargava said, referencing India’s third-highest civilian award.
