Localization is the key to a resilient Indian automotive industry: Auto experts
auto trade fair in New Delhi — ACMA Automechanika, the organizers of ACMA Automechanika , Messe Frankfurt India, and the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) say there is a need for deep localization of auto component manufacturing. Raj Manek, executive director & board member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd said, “It is very vital to provide a push to local manufacturers to bolster the domestic supply chain and strengthen the automotive industry from its very core. With the world's leading electric car company (Tesla) setting up its base in India, it will be just a matter of time before the first fleet of electric cars arrives in India.

The pace of recruitment will increase this year, said about 72% of startup founders surveyed by debt fund InnoVen Capital in its annual Startup Outlook Report. Startups operating in logistics, digital media , e-commerce and deep-tech sectors are the most bullish about hiring. “At the beginning of the festive season in August and September last year, demand came back and the pervasive changes in consumer behaviour also played to the strengths of digital-first consumer-focused business models,” Ashish Sharma, chief executive officer of InnoVen Capital, said in the report. The Covid-19 pandemic hurt most companies last year, and they had to make tough calls around realigning team sizes and salary cuts, although a few enjoyed immediate tailwinds (edtech, online gaming, etc.), the report stated. ... » Learn More about Startup jobs seen aplenty in 2021 as post-pandemic hiring gathers pace

PCB chairman Ehsan Mani said the ICC has assured them it will get a written assurance from the BCCI by next month that all its players, officials, fans and journalists will be issued visas for the World T20 Cup to be held in India.
