What is What Car? India?

As a sister brand to Autocar India, What Car? India aims to plug the gap for credible automotive information in Hindi on digital platforms. It will provide accessible and user-friendly information on car buying and owning, in addition to car and bike reviews, and news from the automotive industry, to Hindi language viewers across the country. The significance of bringing credible content to the demographic is highlighted by the fact that 54 percent of the online videos watched by Indians are in Hindi, as per Google-owned YouTube’s data.      

“Brands from the Haymarket stable are leaders in their respective verticals, both online and in print, and What Car? India will add another dimension to the company’s ‘digital-first’ growth trajectory,” said Hormazd Sorabjee, managing director, Haymarket SAC, and editor, Autocar India.

What will the What Car? India YouTube channel focus on?

With a consumer-centric philosophy, What Car? India will cut through the clutter online by being a friendly guide to cars and bikes for consumers across the country. Aimed at covering all facets of vehicle ownership, the platform’s content will aid buyers in making better and more informed decisions when it comes to purchase of vehicles, be it a basic hatchback or a luxury sedan. Other areas of focus will be car care and maintenance, shining a light on great deals and regularly profiling the Indian auto industry’s movers and shakers.
