Tesla Begins Hiring In India

New Delhi: American electric carmaker Tesla has opened recruitments for various roles in India, including business operations analyst and customer support specialist, in what could be a precursor for the company’s entry into the country. As per the job postings on the company’s website, the posts are for the ‘Mumbai Suburban’ area.

These roles include service advisor, parts advisor, service technician, service manager, sales & customer support, store manager, sales & customer support, business operations analyst, customer support supervisor, customer support specialist, delivery operations specialist, order operations specialist, inside sales advisor, and consumer engagement manager.

On its LinkedIn page, the electric carmaker has posted hiring alerts for at least 13 roles – mostly in Mumbai and Delhi.

A mailed query to confirm if the recruitments are part of the company’s plans to enter the Indian market and the possible timeline for starting sales in India remained unanswered.

The hiring by Tesla in India comes close after the recent meeting of company founder and American tech billionaire Elon Musk with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the latter’s recent US visit. Tesla’s possible entry into the Indian market has been keenly awaited. Last April, Musk had postponed his proposed visit to India at the last minute citing ‘very heavy Tesla obligations,’ but the proposed visit had raised expectations of Musk announcing plans for India.
