Pawah has been with the BMW Group since 2017 when he joined BMW Group India as the President 

Pawah came to BMW at a time when the company recently lost its top position globally to Mercedes-Benz after 11 long years and India is a major market where BMW had to gain ground. In fact, 2017 was also an important year for BMW Motorrad as we saw the G 310 R make its way to the market and it became the key volume driver for the company.

Pawah was with the company when it launched its most affordable bike, the G 310R 

BMW now has the youngest fleet of cars in the luxury car segment and the company is looking to bring in more products by the end of the year. The coronavirus pandemic might have hurt the company's sales and plans for the Indian market, but with new launches and better financial packages, for BMW, MINI and Motorrad, the company is looking to rake in sales in these turbulent times.

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look.
