Lucas TVS has won this coveted recognition for having unflinchingly faced the rising challenges and stiff competition in 2021.
With a strong belief that their employees are their most valued assets who are contributing individually and collectively towards the achievement of their business goals, Lucas TVS initiated a programme six months back called “Winning Culture”.
