Puneet Anand, Hyundai Motor India’s associate vice-president and vertical head for corporate affairs, corporate communications and social initiatives, has left the carmaker after nearly 29 years.

Putting up an emotional post on LinkedIn, Anand said for nearly three decades, Hyundai has been his second home, a place where he grew, learned and poured his heart into every milestone.

“28 years, 10 months, 6 days - One Incredible Journey. Now as my journey with Hyundai Motor India comes to a close, my heart is overflowing with emotion and gratitude. For nearly three decades, Hyundai hasn't just been my workplace—it has been my second home, A place where I grew, learned, and poured my heart into every milestone. Witnessing and contributing to our incredible evolution in India from the very early days has been the privilege of a lifetime.

I feel deeply fortunate to have experienced the length and breadth of this organization, wearing many hats across diverse functions. Whether it was elevating the customer experience in Customer Care and CRM, driving growth in Marketing and Sales, shaping our narrative in Corporate Communication, building and sustaining "Brand Hyundai" through unique Marketing Innovations, developing deep public policy narratives through Corporate Affairs, or creating a lasting impact through our CSR initiatives— every single stint challenged me, redefined me, and allowed me to give my absolute best to the Hyundai family.

Looking back, this journey has blessed me with experiences I will cherish forever. A massive part of my growth has been shaped through my deep connection to our global parent, having traveled to Seoul, South Korea, more than 26 times, and even having the ultimate privilege of completing my Post Grad in Korea. A big Thanks to HMC for what I am today,” he wrote.
