Tesla Appoints Former Lamborghini India Head Sharad Agarwal as New India Chief
Tesla has appointed Sharad Agarwal, former head of Lamborghini India, as its new India head to boost sales and navigate the local market. Agarwal's appointment follows slow initial sales and negligible customer interest since Tesla's entry. His challenges include converting brand interest into meaningful sales amidst high import tariffs and slow EV adoption. Until now, Tesla's operations in India were overseen by its Southeast Asia director, with the previous country head having resigned in May.
