The Journey of GP Mobility | Mr. Kaveesil Sirimaneetham Shares Insights at “Fam Day”

On Sunday, August 17, 2025, at the Grand Hall, 3rd Floor, True Digital Park (West), Sukhumvit 101, the event “Fam Day: Heir Journey (เจอนี่!)” was held. This forum was designed specifically for next-generation family business successors, providing a platform to exchange ideas, share experiences, and inspire the continuation of family enterprises toward sustainable growth in the modern era. The event gathered more than 10 speakers from 9 leading family businesses, delivering real perspectives through 5 sessions covering family business management, digital transformation, and future-oriented networking. 5 Sessions Sharing Real Experiences Session 1: “S. Khon Kaen” – Building a Family Business into a Professional Organization Session 2: “3 Heirs, 3 Businesses” – Growing Differently on the Same Path Session 3: “The Previous Generation Said This, The Current Generation Says That” Session 4: “Eldest Daughter / CEO / Wife” – How to Balance Three Roles Session 5: Sharing & Networking Session Mr. Kaveesil Sirimaneetham The Journey of GP Mobility One of the key speakers was Kaveesil Sirimaneetham, CEO of GP Mobility Public Company Limited, who joined Session 2: “3 Heirs, 3 Businesses” alongside: Ms. Ariya Tangmitrphracha – Executive Director, DoHome Public Company Limited Mr.Nithi Sajjathippawan – CEO & Co-Founder, MyCloud Fulfillment Khun Kaveesil shared the journey of developing GP Mobility, from a small family business into a nationwide integrated automotive parts distribution hub, highlighting strategies for continuous and sustainable growth. Family Businesses Cannot Stand Still Khun Kaveesil emphasized an important perspective: “If a business does not grow, it is like standing still on a moving treadmill that eventually pushes us backward.” He summarized 3 key reasons why family businesses cannot remain stagnant: Risk reduction and stability – Growth helps diversify risks and avoids overreliance on a single revenue source. Expansion and competitiveness – Businesses must adapt to changing markets, especially in a K-Shaped Economy. Long-term sustainability – Without preparation, businesses risk being replaced. GP Mobility’s Growth Strategy Under the Deepening Strategy, GP Mobility focuses on three main development directions: Expanding product lines with genuine automotive parts to better serve existing customers. Growing the customer base into new segments, including provincial markets, online platforms, and international markets. Entering the Aftermarket (replacement parts) sector to meet diverse demands and ensure continued growth. Future Perspectives of Family Businesses Khun Kaveesil also noted that Generative AI will play a crucial role in enhancing business efficiency, allowing faster customer access. However, he stressed that the core remains in truly understanding customers and making strategic decisions as leaders. Khun Kaweesilp Sirimaneetham’s honor as a speaker at the “Tham Tee Ban Fam Day: Inheritor Journey” not only reflects his recognition as a respected next-generation leader in the business community but also serves as a testament to GP Mobility’s success as a Thai family business model capable of transitioning strongly from generation to generation. With a forward-thinking vision and the creation of a stable business ecosystem, GP Mobility is not just a comprehensive automotive spare parts distribution center but also an inspiration to new generations of family business inheritors navigating the path to long-term sustainability.

GP Mobility Signs MOU with Two Leading Educational Institutions to Revolutionize Thailand’s EV Ecosystem

GP Mobility Public Company Limited has officially announced a landmark collaboration through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with two leading educational institutions. This partnership aims to address structural challenges and build a sustainable future for the electric vehicle (EV) industry in Thailand. Thailand’s EV market has been growing rapidly and undergoing a profound transformation. Thai consumers now exhibit more complex decision-making behaviors, demanding comprehensive information, with EVs becoming a key disruptor of the automotive market structure. Between 2022 and 2024, nearly 100 new EV models were launched in Thailand, with an influx of new players—particularly Chinese manufacturers—entering the market. As a result, the market share of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) has surged from just 5% in 2014 to 18% in 2023. However, behind this exciting growth lies a set of structural challenges within the aftermarket ecosystem, which is emerging as a major bottleneck for the industry. These challenges are evident in the high insurance premiums for EVs, primarily due to four key factors: High repair and parts costs: Most EV components are still imported, resulting in high costs and long delivery times. Battery replacements, in particular, can cost up to 60% of the vehicle’s value. Shortage of skilled technicians: There is currently a lack of qualified EV technicians, leading to dependence on limited specialized service centers, which charge higher-than-average fees. Limited insurance providers: Only about 10 out of 20 Thai insurance companies currently provide EV coverage, due to concerns over high loss ratios. Higher accident severity: Even low-speed EV accidents tend to result in significantly higher damage costs than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. According to SCB Economic Intelligence Center (EIC), these conditions will likely keep the average annual EV insurance premium high—around THB 25,500 per vehicle—until at least 2030. These factors highlight a critical truth: the future growth of Thailand’s EV market cannot be sustained without a robust and well-developed aftermarket ecosystem. Specifically, there is an urgent need to invest in skilled personnel and to develop standards for locally manufactured replacement parts. In response to this need, GP Mobility Public Company Limited, as a leader in automotive aftermarket services, has signed a historic MOU with two prominent educational institutions—the Faculty of Engineering at Bangkok Thonburi University and Polytechnic College of Bangkok—on June 19, 2025. This initiative marks a concrete step toward addressing structural challenges and establishing long-term sustainability. The signing ceremony was attended by key representatives from all three parties: Mr. Kawit Silpinimittham – CEO, GP Mobility Public Company Limited Assoc. Prof. Sommat Thongkham – Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Bangkok Thonburi University Mr. Kantinan Sriprasong – Academic Director, Polytechnic College of Bangkok 5 Pillars of Collaboration Toward a Sustainable EV Future Under the MOU, all parties have committed to driving initiatives in five strategic areas: Future-Focused Curriculum Development: Jointly create EV Technician and EV Aftermarket Business programs to produce skilled graduates for the market. R&D Collaboration: Conduct research on EV replacement parts and study consumer behavior to support continuous innovation. EV Learning Hub: Establish a comprehensive EV parts knowledge and innovation center within the university. Model Service Center Standards: Develop a prototype EV parts service center covering sourcing, quality testing, and technical consultation. Skills Upgrade for Technicians: Organize hands-on workshops for students and current technicians to stay up-to-date with evolving technologies. A Shared Vision for a Sustainable Future This MOU is more than just a formal agreement—it serves as a strategic blueprint for collaboration across three key sectors: industry, higher education, and vocational education. For GP Mobility, whether the future lies in ICE or EVs, the core value remains unchanged: quality parts and reliable service. The company sees EVs not just as a trend, but as a responsibility to every driver.
