The Indian car market has largely been dominated by the top 4 manufacturers, with the competition mainly shuffling between Indian, Japanese and Korean car brands. However, Chinese car brands are likely to expand their footprint in India with brands like BYD and MG already making some inroads. While Chinese car brands don't have a set reputation in India just yet, they have been expanding their footprint globally quickly and have managed to carve a strong position for themselves particularly in the electric car space. This plays a vital role in their expansion as they're at the forefront of electrification globally and Indian car manufacturers too are shifting their focus to battery electric vehicles as they expand their business within India and overseas. In this video, we discuss the opportunity at hand and the important challenges that have to be addressed as Indian brands take on global ambitions.

Chinese and Korean OEMs are a wake up call to Indian OEMs that their flashy over styled gimmicky designs will not hide their vehicles' mediocre underpinnings. The 'Jugaad' mentality has to stop before it's too late. Remember, the top car company is a Japanese one who has made it by selling crude, cheap, mediocre and borderline deadly vehicles that were outdated in their home country. And it's at the top because as a customer, our expectations of quality regarding products and services are far below the rest of the world.

Tata haters are just frustrated with life....they could not believe in their wildest dreams that a manufacturer like Tata who was written off as a cab manufacturer has eaten away their favourite manufacturers sales and pushed many of the overpriced unsafe tin cans out of their dominant position.
