Mr Holger Peters, whom Piyush Goyal met in Berlin, is the Chief Executive Officer of which company?

  1. A.Siemens Healthineers AG
  2. B.Bertelsmann Investments
  3. C.Skoda Auto
  4. D.Bosch GmbH

Correct answer

C. Skoda Auto

Explanation

The correct answer is Skoda Auto. Mr Holger Peters is the Chief Executive Officer of Skoda Auto and at the same time the Chief Financial Officer of Volkswagen AG, and he met the Commerce Minister in Berlin. Option A, Siemens Healthineers AG, is wrong because its Chief Executive Officer is Mr Bernd Montag, who had a separate meeting with the minister. Option B, Bertelsmann Investments, is wrong because its Chief Executive Officer is Mr Carsten Coesfeld, who is also a Member of the Executive Board of Bertelsmann. Option D, Bosch GmbH, is wrong because no meeting with that company was reported. All three meetings were aimed at expanding business partnerships, investment and industrial cooperation between India and Germany, and candidates should keep the three names paired with the right companies, since a question may reverse the pairing and ask for the company given the executive.
