One of our videos on the Honda City went viral recently. It reminded me why that car earned so much respect. I owned the 2012 1.5 i-VTEC manual, the last of that generation before the City went full digital. It was a car built with purpose. The naturally aspirated 1.5-litre

The ask yesterday was enormous. India simply became enormous enough to answer it. That's the whole secret, match the magnitude of the moment by becoming more than you were yesterday. Proud moment. #TeamIndia #INDvsAUS @BCCIWomen @mandhana_smriti

We just launched the 30-Day Return at CARS24. Buying a car is a big decision and we have always felt that 10 minutes behind the wheel is too little to make it. So now, every buyer gets 30 days to live with their car and make sure it truly fits their life. Every car we sell goes

From experimenting with AI a few months ago to being recognized among the top 0.0025% of AI builders globally at @OpenAI’s DevDay in San Francisco, it has been an intense journey. CARS24 is now one of OpenAI’s top global partners, processing 100B+ tokens and counting. Seeing

In school, the fastest way to get attention was to call someone out in class. We tried the same thing on Bengaluru’s streets. Along with @CrashfreeIndia and the @blrcitytraffic , we set up India’s first AI-powered billboard at Trinity Circle. It scans number plates and, within

What a start to Navratri. - 5,000+ cars inspected yesterday —the highest in 4 years. - 400% more cars delivered today than any other day— by 2 pm alone. But the real story isn’t the numbers. It’s families driving home their first car. Parents upgrading to something safer.

So Trump just slapped a $100,000 price tag on the H-1B visa. What he doesn’t get is that the world has moved on. In the 90s, you went to America to build. In 2025, the smartest founders and engineers are building global products directly out of India, a country with more

This Ganesh Chaturthi, we did something crazy. We built a parking lot. For shoes. Crazy? Maybe. But our idea was simple: if you take care of the smallest things, people enjoy the big moments even more. @cars24india #GaneshChaturthi2025 #GanpatiBappaMorya #rains #MumbaiRains

Commit to something enough so that people start thinking you’re a little bit crazy. Count your calories and don’t have any ‘cheat meals.’ Work on your career or business for at least a few hours on weekend mornings. Meditate or pray for a full hour every day. Ordinary people will

@PetroleumMin Let’s separate facts from fears. Transitioning to cleaner fuels isn’t always seamless, but it is necessary. India can learn from Brazil, adopt global best practices and ensure car owners have clarity & choice. As citizens & petrolheads, embracing green shifts with open eyes is

What can we learn from Brazil's ethanol model Flex-Fuel Vehicles at Scale Brazil introduced flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) in the early 2000s, which can run on any blend of ethanol and petrol from E20 to E100. Today, 90%+ of new cars sold are flex-fuel, offering consumers a better

So, should car owners worry? If you own a BS6 Phase 2 vehicle (2023 or newer), your car is E20-compatible and safe to use with ethanol-blended fuel. For older vehicles, it's advisable to stick to E10 unless your manufacturer explicitly approves E20 usage. A slight drop in

What does research say about performance, mileage and engine impact? Emissions E20 reduces: - Carbon monoxide (CO) by ~50% - Hydrocarbons by ~20% - NOx emissions may slightly rise, but are manageable with modern catalytic converters. Fuel efficiency: - Ethanol has ~33%

India began its ethanol blending journey in 2003 with the launch of the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme. However, real progress picked up only in the last 4–5 years with strong targets, policies and infrastructure push. Years:   - 2021-22: India achieved a 10% ethanol
