The Harvard Club of Bengaluru and RK World Infocom Private Limited hosted an exclusive session featuring Ruchit Agarwal, Co-Founder and Group CFO of Cars24.

The discussion centered on the realities of building a global enterprise and how technology and innovation are fundamentally reshaping the automotive industry.

A few reflections from the discussion:

• Relentless groundwork – The 4 founders personally stood at petrol bunks speaking to customers in the early days.
• Profitability over speed – Better to slow down than grow unsustainably.
• Invest in creating people who can replace you.
• Embed AI deeply into execution – Weekly AI hackathons reduce idea-to-implementation timelines from months to days.
• Care for the human behind the employee – Strong mental health support systems, with over 100 psychiatric sessions in a month.
