Mazda Indonesia headquarters epitomizes synergy between Mazda Corporation and Eurokars Group. The building's interior reflects Mazda's Japanese-style minimalist design and Eurokars Group identity, using black, white, and wooden accents. The overall design displays the elegance and simplicity of the brand, making it an excellent representation of Mazda's philosophies – Jinba-Ittai, Kodo, Takuminuri, and Takumi. 

One of the keyways Thio has manifested Mazda Corporation's spirit in Indonesia is by ensuring that Mazda's vehicles are of the highest quality. Under his leadership, Mazda Indonesia has introduced a wide range of cutting-edge vehicles, including the Mazda CX-30, Mazda CX-5, and Mazda3, all of which have been met with critical acclaim by Indonesian consumers nationwide. Thanks to SKYACTIV technology, Mazda's unique offering refers to a set of technologies that enhance a car's performance through the engine, transmission, body, and chassis to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.

Another of Mazda Indonesia's critical successes is directly tied to their unique design philosophy, namely Kodo - Soul of Motion, and Jinba-Ittai, reflected in every Mazda masterful vehicle. Kodo represents the movement's beauty and captures the essence of Mazda's brand spirit, while Jinba-Ittai portrays the bond between the car and the driver. By placing the driver's experience at the forefront, Mazda Indonesia has successfully established a reputation for quality and reliability beyond comparison to Indonesia's premium car players.

Although Mazda Indonesia operates under Eurokars Group, the Singapore-based leading distributor of luxury automotive brands in Asia, they are different from other brands under the parent company regarding their marketing approach. With the brand positioning as a premium brand that provides superior design, performance, and comfort, they are dedicated to unyielding their quality and is focusing on educating consumers on Mazda's values. Their commitment to those areas will further strengthen their position in the market in the next five years.

Thio's integrity was demonstrated when the industry faced the unprecedented swift during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the situation that caused overstocking, Mazda Indonesia achieved its sales target in 2021. With Indonesia showing potential growth in the automotive sector in 2023, Thio is optimistic about the brand's future. Mazda Indonesia is currently exerting itself in the lifestyle market through recent collaborations with two Indonesian designers at JFW 2023. It will continue its success by eyeing further collaborations with the market players.
