American bike-maker Harley Davidson recently launched X440 in partnership with Hero MotoCorp, a bike which is specifically made for the Indian market. Also launched recently was the Speed 400, a bike co-built by the British giant Triumph Motorcycles with Bajaj Auto. 

What makes it interesting is that these companies are tapping into a segment ruled by Royal Enfield in India. But why? Are companies expecting a rise in demand for the premium motorcycles in India? How will Harley straddle the premiumness and affordability in its brand identity and experience?

Host Anirban Chowdhury gets all the answers from industry experts as he speaks with Rod Copes, Ex-President - Royal Enfield and Harley Davidson, Sirish Chandran of Project GTO Publishing, Nikunj Sanghi of J.S. Fourwheel Motors, Harsh Man Rai of Helmet Stories, and Devesh Agrawal, a motorcycle enthusiast and Harley bike owner in the latest episode of The Morning Brief podcast. Tune in!
