Questions we've answered for
automotive clients.

These are the actual questions clients bring to us. We've answered some version of each of them, multiple times, across multiple geographies.

What is the real demand for electric two-wheelers in India's Tier 2 cities — and what combination of range, price, and financing terms would unlock mass adoption?
We're a European Tier 1 supplier entering India. Which OEMs will localise our product category fastest, and which Indian partner should we NOT sign with?
Our dealer network in South India is underperforming by 40%. Is this a territory problem, a product-mix problem, or a management problem — and what's the recovery plan?
We're acquiring an auto components business serving three OEMs. How concentrated is the revenue, are the contracts portable, and what happens if one of those OEMs shifts to EV?
Who will own the Indian EV charging infrastructure market in 2028 — oil companies, utilities, or pure-play networks — and what position should we be staking now?
Our CNG commercial vehicle is losing share to diesel in long-haul. Tell us whether the problem is economics, driver preference, infrastructure, or all three.
