Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) India has appointed Bhalindra Singh as Managing Director within its Business Transformation Services practice. Based in New Delhi, Singh will work with automotive clients on large-scale transformation programmes, with a focus on cost transformation across design-to-value and procurement excellence.
Singh brings more than 17 years of experience across management consulting and technology. His automotive sector experience spans two-wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, tractors, material handling and construction equipment. He has also worked with clients in the cement, consumer electricals and industrial sectors.
During his career, Singh has led transformation programmes including a two-year cost excellence programme for an Indian two-wheeler manufacturer, which resulted in a bill of materials cost reduction of more than 10%.
Prior to joining A&M, Singh spent more than 13 years with McKinsey & Company in Gurgaon, where he was most recently Associate Partner in the Advanced Industries practice. He led teams advising clients on strategic and business transformation priorities.
Himanshu Bajaj, Managing Director & Head – A&M India and GCC, said, “India’s automotive sector is navigating significant shifts across technology, supply chains and evolving cost structures, while continuing to pursue ambitious growth priorities. This is increasing the need for transformation programs that combine strategic ambition with tangible operational outcomes. Bhalindra’s deep automotive experience and cost transformation expertise further strengthen our ability to support clients as they address these priorities and build more competitive businesses.”
Sameer Amte, Managing Director, Business Transformation Services, A&M India, said, “Cost transformation in the automotive sector increasingly requires an integrated approach across product design, procurement and the broader operating model.

His addition enhances our capabilities in large-scale cost transformation and expands the depth of expertise we can bring to automotive clients.”
