Are you ready Sir ? @TataMotors_Cars,” Mahindra was asked.Mahindra compared the invasion of international automakers such as Daewoo, Ford, General Motors, and Hyundai to India's economic liberalization in 1991. Although these businesses introduced innovative designs and technology, he pointed out that Mahindra was able to effectively negotiate that competitive environment.Also Read | Tesla begins hiring spree in India after Elon Musk-PM Modi meeting“We have been asked similar questions ever since the opening up of the Indian economy in 1991.
