INDIAN AUTOMAKERS ROPE IN INTERNATIONAL DESIGNERS

Spurred by a worldwide consolidation wave, Indian carmakers are rushing to global automotive designers in a bid to give a cutting edge to their products line-up. Auto majors such as Bajaj Auto, Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors are understood to be meeting several top auto designers in a bid to scale up their in-house design functions.

Senior officials of these companies have conducted several rounds of interviews at a recent Society of Automotive Engineers event with designers from Chrysler, BMW and others based out of Europe and the US.
