Reports indicate that Tesla has begun posting job openings in Mumbai, hinting at a strategic inclination toward establishing a presence in well-off neighborhoods—a tactic consistent with its global strategy. This could represent a shift in the company’s approach to India, focusing not merely on vehicle sales but also on creating a substantial manufacturing footprint.
