Elon Musk-led Tesla is reportedly hiring in India. The electric vehicle maker sought candidates for 13 roles. This comes after Musk met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recently concluded US trip. A Bloomberg report further claimed that Tesla plans to enter the Indian market.
According to Tesla’s advertisements on its LinkedIn page, these candidates are being considered for roles including customer-facing and back-end jobs.
At least five positions, including service technician and various advisory roles, were open in both Mumbai and Delhi, while other roles, such as customer engagement manager and delivery operations specialist, were exclusively available in Mumbai, the report said.
Tesla had so far refrained from entering the market due to high import duties. However, with India now lowering the basic customs duty on high-end cars priced above $40,000 from 110% to 70%, it has become more favourable for the carmaker.
