Mumbai- Magenta Mobility., a fully integrated commercial EV logistics solutions provider, has announced a strategic leadership realignment to accelerate its growth in cargo electrification.

Under the new structure, Mr. Maxson Lewis, currently CEO and Director, will assume the role of Founder & Chairman, while Mr. Sujit Cherian has been appointed as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

This transition comes at a pivotal time, as India advances toward its net-zero commitments and rapid electrification of logistics. By reinforcing leadership continuity and enhancing operational focus, Magenta is positioning itself to seize emerging opportunities in EV fleet expansion and clean energy partnerships. The move marks a shift from the company’s foundation-building phase into a period of accelerated growth, strategic collaborations, and broader impact across India’s clean energy ecosystem.

As CEO, Sujit Cherian will spearhead Magenta’s strategic vision, operational excellence, commercial partnerships, and market expansion. Meanwhile, Founder & Chairman Maxson Lewis will concentrate on long-term strategy, technological innovation, and advancing the company’s clean mobility mission through active engagement with industry bodies and government.

Mr. Maxson Lewis, Founder & Chairman of Magenta Mobility, said, “From a small team with a bold vision to becoming one of India’s most trusted names in clean mobility, Magenta’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. This leadership transition is about future-proofing that journey. With Sujit leading day-to-day operations, I will focus my energies on not only shaping the long-term roadmap for Magenta but for the Indian EV logistics ecosystem as a whole - from technology alliances, industry collaborations to global opportunities in the long-term future, to ensure we continue to stay ahead in our mission of decarbonising mobility.”

Mr. Sujit Cherian, the newly appointed CEO, said, “I am excited to lead Magenta into its next phase of growth. With a strong foundation built by Maxson, we are poised to scale our fleet and deepen industry collaborations, and deliver transformative impact as India accelerates its clean mobility transition.”
