With the launch of this retail dealership, Altigreen is focussing on providing its consumers an
enhanced and never-seen-before experience with world-class and modern infrastructure. Every
element of the dealership has been designed to lend a welcoming feel especially to the autorickshaw
drivers walking in out of curiosity. Altigreen has left no stone unturned to ensure the dealership
reflects the company’s ethos of respect, empathy, and gaining the trust of consumers through
transparent dialogue.
Dr Amitabh Saran, Founder and CEO, Altigreen, said, “We are very grateful for the opportunity to
make the City of Joy a cleaner, greener and pollution-free place. Celica Motors has decades of
