Ujjwal Mukherjee was appointed Marketing Head at Mahindra Tractors, bringing expertise in strategy, leadership, and digital marketing innovation.
Ujjwal Mukherjee has been named the Marketing Head at Mahindra Tractors, marking a significant step in his career. Mukherjee previously led marketing services at Mahindra Farm Division.
In his earlier role, Mukherjee was responsible for above-the-line communication, digital marketing, customer relationship management (CRM), and call center operations at Mahindra Tractors. He also held the position of Deputy General Manager in Group Strategy from September 2019 to August 2023, where he played a key role in shaping critical projects across various group businesses, including electric vehicles (EVs).
Mukherjee was a part of the Mahindra Accelerated Leadership Track (MALT), a leadership program created with Carnegie Mellon University, USA. This initiative aims to develop talent and prepare them for leadership roles. One of Mukherjee's notable achievements was guiding the team that won the IAMAI India Digital Award in March 2024 for Mahindra OJA in the 'Best Use of Meta' category.
Before joining Mahindra & Mahindra, Mukherjee worked at McKinsey & Company as an Engagement Manager, managing clients in the pharma, power, and automobile sectors. He holds a Mechanical Engineering degree from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, a postgraduate degree from the Indian School of Business, and an executive education certification from Carnegie Mellon University.
Mahindra & Mahindra is currently the leader in the Indian farm equipment sector, holding a 44% year-to-date market share. In October 2024, the company achieved its highest-ever tractor sales of 64,326 units, showing a remarkable 30% growth compared to the same period last year.
The company expects 6-6.8% growth in the tractor industry for FY25 and anticipates a 13-15% rise in sales during the second half of the financial year. The strong demand for Mahindra's advanced farming solutions and premium tractor models, like the Mahindra OJA series, has been a key driver of its success.
Mukherjee’s expertise and leadership are expected to further strengthen Mahindra Tractor’s position as a leader in the industry while driving innovation and customer-focused strategies.
