American electric car giant Tesla has started recruiting for multiple positions in India, signaling its potential entry into the Indian market. The company has posted job openings for roles such as business operations analyst and customer support specialist, mainly in Mumbai suburbs. Other vacancies include service advisor, service technician, service manager, sales advisor, customer manager, and delivery operations specialist.
Although Tesla has not officially confirmed its plans for India, the hiring activity suggests preparations for its operations in the country. An email seeking confirmation about the company’s sales launch in India went unanswered.
This recruitment drive comes shortly after Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit to the U.S. Musk had earlier expressed interest in bringing Tesla to India, citing the country’s growing market for electric vehicles.
Tesla’s potential entry into India has been a topic of discussion for years, with hurdles like import duties and local manufacturing requirements delaying its plans. However, the latest hiring suggests the company may finally be moving forward. If Tesla enters the Indian market, it could boost the EV industry and increase competition among carmakers.
