Here's what is giving Audi India's Rahil Ansari sleepless nights

For Audi India head Rahil Ansari, love for cars comes with the job.

However that’s not the only thing that gives him a kick.

Ansari, who took over from Joe King as head of Audi India in February this year, is also a huge football fan.

His favourite team? “I follow all Bayern Munich matches and have travelled across Europe to see them play in Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon and Munich,” says Ansari.

The club also has an association with Audi. Prior to his elevation as India brand director, Ansari was in Germany for four years.

Now that he’s back in India, Ansari says that he will miss watching the matches live, but will make the most of it and watch them on TV.

“I can see a few sleepless nights ahead of me,” Ansari says with a laugh, given that the matches are telecast in India post midnight.
