Classic Legends, the Mahindra & Mahindra-backed manufacturer of Jawa, Yezdi and BSA motorcycles, has appointed Jayapradeep Vasudevan (JP) to its leadership team. He joins the organisation with around three decades of experience in the automotive industry, focusing on strategic leadership and commercial operations.

Jayapradeep previously served as the President of Kinetic Green’s two-wheeler business, where he managed the sales expansion of the Kinetic E-Luna e-scooter. His career includes nearly three decades in the automobile sector, with a tenure at Royal Enfield during its brand transformation.

For the past three years, he has operated within the electric vehicle (EV) sector, holding roles at Raptee.HV and Kinetic Green. This experience provided insights into consumer expectations and startup operations, which he now brings to the premium motorcycle segment.

In his new role at Classic Legends, Jayapradeep will work with the company’s dealer network and internal teams to scale the presence of its heritage brands. The company operates as a startup entity while managing a portfolio of established motorcycle marques.

“After nearly three decades in the automobile industry, I continue to feel grateful for the journeys that shape both my perspective and purpose. A significant part of my professional journey was with Royal Enfield, where I had the privilege of being part of a remarkable transformation journey with immense learning outcomes. With all the learning and experience of the transformational journey, three years back I stepped into the EV space with Raptee.HV and subsequently Kinetic Green. The experience with these EV startups offered valuable insights into the expectations of the new-generation consumers and helped me adapt to the pace and mindset of the startup ecosystem,” said Jayapradeep.
