Tesla Inc is scouting for locations to open showrooms in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore and has hired an executive to lead its lobbying and business efforts ahead of its planned entry into the country.
The world’s most valuable automaker by market capitalization is looking for commercial properties as large as 20,000-30,000 square feet each to open showrooms and service centers. The company also hired Manuj Khurana, a former executive of India’s investment promotion body Invest India (led by my friend Deepak Bagla), in the first major hire to lead its policy and business development efforts in the country.
Global property consultant CBRE Group Inc – hired for the showroom searches by Tesla – has been surveying places for several weeks and is focusing on locations which will give the company easier access to affluent customers.
