Hardeep Singh Brar, National Head, Sales and Marketing, Kia India, commented, “Our research indicated that most of our customers are opting for our Advance Pick and Drop Service or sending their drivers for their vehicle service procedures. Due to this, they miss supervising the effort, which can lead to dissatisfaction in the long run. Through Kia Krystal, we are aiming at building more trust by facilitating greater transparency to position ourselves as a customer-centric brand.”

Looking ahead, Kia India plans to further enhance the Kia Krystal experience by introducing welcome calls for new customers post-sales. These calls will serve to keep customers informed about ownership programmes and offerings.
