SVP – Digital Platforms — Electric-Mobility Platform

The mandate

The chair and executive committee are aligned that the immediate priority is fragmented digital platforms constraining customer and employee journeys within a listed technology-enabled mobility and transport platform. The immediate arena is the electric-mobility platform during a city-portfolio rationalisation. For mandate 409, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The SVP – Digital Platforms operating perimeter covers approximately ₹4,900 crore in gross bookings and fleet portfolio, with activity spanning several electric-mobility platform customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The SVP – Digital Platforms Mobility remit carries direct influence over roughly 350 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The group board and the relevant risk and people committees want a SVP – Digital Platforms who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the electric-mobility platform. The SVP – Digital Platforms Mobility seat must resolve a city-portfolio rationalisation, while preserving the underlying strengths of the electric-mobility platform. For mandate 409, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The SVP – Digital Platforms’s first year on the electric-mobility platform is expected to end with platform adoption, reliability and measurable process simplification. In mandate 409, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a planned replacement for the SVP – Digital Platforms — Electric-Mobility Platform seat. The incumbent continues to lead the electric-mobility platform through an agreed succession period and will support a structured handover. The board has allowed 4–6 months to assess candidates, complete diligence and protect continuity while a city-portfolio rationalisation is addressed. The search is confidential so the transition can be communicated to employees, customers and partners in a controlled sequence.

What you will own

• Set the SVP – Digital Platforms value-creation thesis for the electric-mobility platform, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately ₹4,900 crore in gross bookings and fleet portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the SVP – Digital Platforms Mobility organisation of about 350 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the electric-mobility platform economics and execution constraints created by a city-portfolio rationalisation, with SVP – Digital Platforms-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
• Establish one SVP – Digital Platforms operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the electric-mobility platform; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Show end-to-end ownership of a material platform or value stream, including budget, talent and measurable operating outcomes in mandate 409.
• Build the SVP – Digital Platforms’s three-year succession and capability plan for the electric-mobility platform, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Mobility organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the electric-mobility platform baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to fragmented digital platforms constraining customer and employee journeys, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
• Months 4–9: Make the principal SVP – Digital Platforms portfolio and organisation choices for the electric-mobility platform, install the new operating cadence, fill critical leadership gaps and deliver the first measurable release of cash, capacity or customer value.
• Months 10–12: Demonstrate a repeatable electric-mobility platform trend against platform adoption, reliability and measurable process simplification, lock the following year’s capital and talent plan, evidence control sustainability and present a credible three-year value case with downside actions.

What the board will measure

• Delivery of the SVP – Digital Platforms’s agreed first-year electric-mobility platform value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
• A SVP – Digital Platforms forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the electric-mobility platform’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the SVP – Digital Platforms mandate’s highest-priority electric-mobility platform risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical electric-mobility platform talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the SVP – Digital Platforms’s direct reports.
• A quantified SVP – Digital Platforms-owned improvement in the electric-mobility platform operating constraint behind a city-portfolio rationalisation, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 409: no unresolved high-severity escalation older than 30 days and no material surprise withheld from its agreed governance forum.

The person

You are currently a SVP Digital, Platform Head or Technology Transformation Leader in a listed Mobility or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the electric-mobility platform, your SVP – Digital Platforms track record includes a transition where the original plan was no longer sufficient; you can explain your choices, evidence and numerical impact. Candidates from mobility, logistics, automotive, travel technology or consumer platforms will be considered where the operating model, customer stakes and governance intensity match this SVP – Digital Platforms brief.

As a SVP – Digital Platforms candidate, you bring 18–22 years of progressive Mobility or adjacent-sector experience, consistent with the 18-22 experience band. At minimum, you have carried a P&L, book, budget or accountable portfolio of ₹2,850 crore and led an organisation of at least 350 people.

For mandate 409, the board wants two transitions: a difficult electric-mobility platform portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a city-portfolio rationalisation. As the prospective SVP – Digital Platforms for this electric-mobility platform, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 409 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

• One completed Mobility or adjacent-sector example of fragmented digital platforms constraining customer and employee journeys with outcomes sustained for at least two reporting periods after the initial intervention.
• Sector credibility from mobility, logistics, automotive, travel technology or consumer platforms; experience that is purely functional and lacks SVP – Digital Platforms-level electric-mobility platform consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Hyderabad location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 409.
