"India is the most exciting market in the world," Unsoo Kim, managing director of Hyundai Motor India, said during a press event.
Hyundai Motor Co expects India to be a fast-growing market and plans to make it a global manufacturing hub, a top company executive said on Wednesday, as the South Korean carmaker gears up to launch its Indian IPO next week.

The listing will be India's largest IPO and will see the South Korean parent sell a stake of up to 17.5% in the local entity for about USD 3 billion. It will value Hyundai's India unit at USD 19 billion at the top end of the share price range.
