- Motown India is recalibrating its strategy through acquisitions, alliances, diversification, re-alignments and even market exits.
- Amid technological progress, concerns over fossil fuel emissions and global warming, the century-old internal combustion engine is facing an existential crisis and dirty fuel, diesel, is being abandoned as electric vehicles become the buzzword.
