Akshay Takes Charge at AM Ford: A New Chapter Begins
Akshay Mahajan, born and raised in an automobile family in India, has always been passionate about the automotive industry. His father, Sanjay, began his career two decades ago with a Chevrolet store and has since expanded his business to include affiliations with several leading OEMs, including Hyundai, Kia, Tata Motors, KTM and Honda.
While studying at The Ohio State University, Akshay envisioned taking his family’s automotive legacy internationally. A proud Buckeye, he recognized the vast opportunities in Ohio and was determined to make his mark in the industry.
After completing his studies, Akshay returned to India and joined his father’s dealerships. Over the past 13 years, he worked diligently to climb the ranks and gain invaluable experience in the business. This hard work culminated in an exciting opportunity when he transitioned from Victory Ford to AM Ford in Jefferson, Ohio, taking over the dealership in April 2024.
Throughout this journey, Akshay has been supported by his wife, Ridhima (Red), who plays an integral role in helping with the store. The couple also cherishes their daughter, Alaayah, who is four years old. Together, they are committed to building a thriving community-focused dealership, bringing their passion and expertise to AM Ford.
With Akshay at the helm, the future looks bright for AM Ford and the local automotive landscape.
