automotive industry.
"CSM's India office will provide our clients with expanded and more precise coverage of the
rapidly growing India automotive market by providing in-depth analytical coverage, comprehensive

offices in China and Japan, the addition of our India office provides clients with a deeper and more
detailed understanding the very disparate and unique characteristics of each South Asia market."

domestic vehicle demand, increasing disposable income available to its growing middle class, a
well-developed supplier base and increasing emphasis on infrastructure upgrades. India's light

opportunities in the global automotive marketplace," added Cather.
