I am excited to be a part of the Volvo Family and today I stand proud to be representing Volvo Cars as its Brand ambassador. I redeemed my career by winning the Volvo Masters in 2006 making my country proud by being the first Indian to win in Europe and since then have not looked back” said Jeev Milkha Singh about endorsing Volvo Cars in India.
