Even as Elon Musk's cost-cutting axe falls on the budding careers of several desperate interns who suddenly find themselves without easy options, Bengaluru-based electric vehicle startup Pravaig Dynamics has offered them an attractive alternative.
Days after Tesla took away the internship offers it made to a number of techies, too late for them to find alternate jigs, Shivangi Bagri, Partner at Pravaig, responded to their anguished LinkedIn posts with a heart-winning offer.
We may not be able to replicate what you set out to do at Tesla, she wrote in her invitation to the high-skill workers to "India's Silicon Valley." But what you can be sure of is that we recognise and appreciate talent. The letter assured the spurned professionals that they were indeed not in limbo. If you have a genuine letter from Tesla, then we would be happy to discuss your future with us, she wrote.
In recent days, Musk has been on a firing spree. Two senior executives are among the casualties, while hundreds of other workers face the prospect of being handed the pink slip due to falling sales and revenues.
