Supply Chain Roadblocks for Electric Buses; Inside Xebia’s Push to Nurture Tech Talent

The electric bus industry in India faces significant supply chain roadblocks, particularly in the procurement of critical components such as batteries and electric drivetrains. While the demand for electric vehicles, including buses, is on the rise due to sustainability goals and government incentives, the logistics and supply chain infrastructure to support this shift is lagging. Companies in the electric mobility space are working hard to overcome these hurdles by securing better supply chain networks and forging partnerships with global suppliers. In parallel, Xebia, a technology consulting firm, is focusing on nurturing tech talent in the country to bolster innovation in sectors such as electric vehicles and software development. By providing training and upskilling opportunities, Xebia aims to address the growing need for skilled professionals who can tackle the technological challenges faced by the electric vehicle industry, including in the supply chain and production processes.
