How is Tesla positioning itself to enter the Indian electric vehicle market?
Tesla is strategically entering India's EV market amid declining sales in Western markets by building local infrastructure and workforce. The company recently held hiring events in Mumbai for various roles including sales advisors and delivery managers, while securing showrooms in Mumbai and Delhi. Tesla has begun homologating its Model Y and Model 3 vehicles to comply with Indian regulations. This entry is particularly advantageous as India targets 30% EV adoption by 2030, and Tesla faces limited competition from Chinese automakers due to India's geopolitical tensions with China and restrictive government policies toward Chinese investments.

What are the benefits of international recruitment for businesses?
International recruitment offers several advantages for businesses. First, international markets often have a better perception of recruitment, making partnerships easier to establish. In some markets, there's less competition, allowing recruiters to build stronger partnerships. Additionally, retained executive search is more common internationally, enabling better client relationships. Lucy's company, LCR International, has leveraged these benefits to make hires in over 20 countries across six continents. Their industry-specific approach rather than geography-focused strategy has proven successful, reducing the need for business development as clients rely on them for international hiring across all functions and locations.

How did Tristram and Rebecca Mayhew build the Go Ape adventure business with minimal upfront investment?
Tristram and Rebecca Mayhew built Go Ape by strategically partnering with the UK Forestry Commission rather than purchasing land themselves. After seeing a similar concept in France during a vacation, they approached the Forestry Commission, which was interested in increasing visitor numbers to their sites. They proposed building five initial treetop adventure courses to prove their concept, requesting a 25-year exclusive deal for additional locations if successful. This innovative approach allowed them to borrow most of the assets they needed rather than purchasing them outright. The strategy proved incredibly successful, resulting in over 30 Go Ape adventure sites across the UK and expansion into the US market.
