Nidhi Kaistha to rev up Lamborghini’s India operation
MUMBAI: Nidhi Kaistha has been appointed head of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. India, taking the wheel of the Italian supercar manufacturer’s operations in one of Asia Pacific’s fastest-accelerating markets.
The seasoned executive brings over 25 years of leadership experience to the role, where she’ll steer sales, marketing and after-sales operations across Lamborghini’s Indian presence. She joins from rival Porsche India, where she served as regional sales and pre-owned cars manager.
Kaistha’s automotive pedigree includes more than 15 years at BMW India, where she held several pole positions including head of corporate, direct and special sales, and lead of business strategy for high-performance models. Her earlier career saw her navigate through the hospitality sector at Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts and Hyatt Hotels, following a stint as cabin crew with Gulf Air and Jet Airways.
Known for her strategic thinking and customer-first approach, Kaistha will now pilot Lamborghini’s growth ambitions across its existing showrooms in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, with an eye on further expansion opportunities.
Her appointment signals Lamborghini’s determination to turbocharge its presence in India’s luxury car market, where ultra-high-net-worth individuals continue to fuel demand despite the country’s notoriously challenging road conditions.
In taking the top job at Lamborghini India, Kaistha joins a small but growing cohort of women leading premium automotive brands in what remains a predominantly male-dominated industry – a trend that’s gradually shifting gears as carmakers seek diverse leadership to navigate an increasingly complex market.

Beep App launches Gen-Z career platform, clocks 30,000 plus placements
Pune startup turns scrolling into career action with learn-explore-earn model
PUNE: Beep App has rolled out its newly positioned career-focused app aimed at Gen-Z users, as it looks to bridge what it calls a growing gap between exposure and employability among young Indians.
Formerly known as EventBeep, the platform is built around a simple but timely idea: turning everyday scrolling into meaningful career action. The app targets students and early professionals, offering a unified space to explore career options, learn relevant skills and access internships and job opportunities.
At a time when short-form content dominates screen time, Beep is attempting to flip the script by embedding structured, career-oriented insights within a familiar scroll-based interface. The idea is not to disrupt user behaviour, but to redirect it.
The platform spans a wide range of fields, including artificial intelligence, product management, design and data analytics. It provides users with insights into role expectations, required skills and step-by-step career pathways, supported by inputs from industry practitioners.
At the heart of the offering is a “learn, explore, earn” model that integrates discovery, skill-building and hiring into one ecosystem. The company says this closed-loop approach is already gaining traction, with over 30,000 placements facilitated so far.
“Gen-Z does not lack ambition; what they often lack is structured direction,” said Beep App founder and CEO Saurabh Mangrulkar. “The Beep App is designed to organise that exposure into actionable pathways so users can move from intent to execution with greater confidence.”
The launch comes amid a broader shift in India’s job market towards skills-first hiring, where practical experience and demonstrable capabilities are increasingly valued alongside academic qualifications.
Founded in 2021, Beep App has grown steadily within the student ecosystem, connecting over 6.5 million users with opportunities across more than 1,500 colleges and 7,800 hiring companies.
Looking ahead, the company plans to deepen its content across emerging sectors, expand its hiring network and build more personalised career pathways tailored to user behaviour.
As Gen-Z continues to navigate a complex and fast-evolving job market, platforms that can turn curiosity into clarity may well shape the next wave of career discovery.
