Yezdi Looking At Rapid Expansion Of Touchpoints
Jawa, Yezdi plans to introduce more advanced products in the future, and is looking at a rapid expansion of its dealer and touchpoint network. The plan is to expand the sales and service network to 450 by Diwali this year and then to more than 500- says Sharad Agarwal, Chief Business Officer of Classic Legends. At present, the brand has 350 outlets across India. The proposed expansion will mean a significant jump over this.
The leadership also acknowledged the notice of recent hate campaigns on various social media platforms, against Jawa and Yezdi. These often criticized Jawa and Yezdi bikes for their after-sales service, engine reliability, and performance issues.
Co-founder Boman Irani also acknowledged the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the past. It looks like the bikemaker is clear of all these hurdles and is on the path of steady improvement. Recently, we saw it introduce the new Adventure in the Indian market, and now we have the new Roadster.
Achieving the proposed expansion of touchpoints will also have a positive impact on the sales and acceptance of these motorcycles. Classic Legends has also mentioned about how keen they are on improving the products and making them 'evolve'.
