Hyundai, Tata and Maruti plans to hire engineering talent from Detroit

India’s largest carmaker had sent a team to Detroit to shop for talent. It bagged 10 engineers so far, two of them expats. Maruti also plans to hire around 500 people in managerial capacity in the next financial year. Sunil Goel, director of GlobalHunt India, said there is a serious shortage of skilled manpower in India, which has forced these companies to look outside. Arvind Saxena, senior VP (sales and marketing) said, "We have always believed in hiring the best and if this means extending the boundaries to include those living outside India, we are open. I am sure this will be a good opportunity for many Indians as well, who want to come back home. It will be an excellent opportunity for us too since we will be able to get experienced people, who have a wealth of knowledge and experience in international markets." Volkswagen Beetle and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X are the upcoming cars in India.
