Nissan Digital India has appointed Suresh Kayamboo as managing director, effective 1 November. He moves into the position from his previous role as divisional general manager for strategic projects at the company.
Kayamboo has more than two decades of experience across technology, IT leadership and large-scale transformation in automotive, technology services and consulting. His appointment places an executive with experience across both enterprise systems and automotive operations at the head of Nissan’s Indian digital organisation.
Before joining the current role, he held several positions at Renault Nissan Technology & Business Centre India. From December 2023 to September 2026, he served as vice-president for information systems and information technology.
His responsibilities at the technology centre covered sales and marketing, aftersales, manufacturing, supply chain, data and connected-mobility services. That operating range gave him exposure to the digital systems supporting the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance across product, factory and customer-facing functions.
Kayamboo was also involved in establishing an artificial-intelligence centre of excellence intended to expand the use of AI across organisational functions. The initiative connects the leadership transition with Nissan’s broader work in data, automation, connected vehicles and enterprise transformation.
Earlier in his career, Kayamboo spent more than four years at Wipro Technologies in programme and delivery management, working on technology projects and global client engagements. He also held project and account-management responsibilities at IBS Software Services Japan and worked with Trianz, DGIC Corporation, Datamatics Global Services, Innospire Systems and Coats Viyella/Hi-Tech Arai.
Kayamboo is a mechanical-engineering graduate of the University of Madras and holds a postgraduate diploma in marketing from IGNOU. He has also completed executive-leadership programmes at IIM Bangalore.
Nissan Digital India operates within an automotive environment in which software now spans product engineering, manufacturing, supply-chain visibility, connected services, customer platforms and internal operations. The managing director’s remit is consequently broader than conventional corporate IT management.
The appointment was publicly detailed on 6 November, five days after it became effective. Nissan has not announced a simultaneous restructuring or change to the legal scope of the Indian entity.
