Mitra in a tweet on August 8 Mitra said, "Dear @PiyushGoyal Ji our robots bound for USA customers have been held in BLR customs for 4 weeks. How can we become a major exporter with such red tape? How do you expect Indian companies to be taken seriously by global customers?"
He also blamed the United Parcel Service (UPS), a US-based package delivery company, for being "equally irresponsible in handling this."
