So did this small Indian company really crack a deal with Elon Musk‘s Tesla?
No, it is actually a Delaware-based company called Tesla Power, that is in the business of making batteries. The company boasts of a “very strong presence in India through its distribution channel partners and retail.” The company’s managing director Kavinder Khurana is based in India.
Taking notice of the whole scenario, ace investor Vijay Kedia took to Twitter to share his views. “I am thrilled to read the news about a listed Indian company "tied up" with Tesla USA.
