This initiative represents Toyota’s philosophy of “Mobility for All”, extending beyond physical mobility to embrace the movement of ideas, creativity, and human spirit. The collaboration aims to foster meaningful cultural exchange and engage with India’s youth through the universal language of music and rhythm.
Speaking about the partnership, Varinder Wadhwa, Vice President, Sales-Service-Used Car Business & Profit Enhancement at Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “We are thrilled to collaborate and host world-class artists, DRUM TAO, in India.
