Tesla starts hiring in India after Musk-Modi meeting

Tesla is advertising senior roles in India this week, signaling potential progress in its long-delayed plans to enter the country’s electric vehicle market.

The job postings follow a recent meeting between CEO Elon Musk and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington.

The United States-based automaker has listed 13 job openings in Mumbai, including positions for store managers, delivery operations staff, and customer support specialists.

This move suggests that Tesla may be preparing to establish a showroom in the city while seeking retail space in key Indian urban areas.
