‘Internet was a big wave. AI is a 100x bigger wave. I have to surf this wave.’ 🚗🤖
From cracking product-market fit on WhatsApp to betting $20 million on AI, Cars24 is rewriting its startup playbook!
On Young Turks Reloaded, Founder & CEO Vikram Chopra tells Shereen Bhan why AI has given him a second life, how the company is moving beyond traditional job designations and why he believes India could produce the next wave of global consumer-tech companies.
After a decade of losses and its first adjusted EBITDA-positive quarter, Chopra also opens up about the emotional co-founder transitions, the road to an IPO and his evolution ‘from a mercenary’ to ‘a missionary.’

No app. No funding. Just WhatsApp and a petrol pump! 🚗📱
That's how auto tech startup, Cars24 cracked product-market fit - long before its billion-dollar valuation and ambitious expansion plans.
Speaking to Shereen Bhan on Young Turks Reloaded, Cars24 Founder & CEO Vikram Chopra reveals how he and Co-founder Mehul approached car owners at a Gurugram petrol pump, photographed their vehicles and secured bids from dealers through WhatsApp groups.
A decade after its 2015 launch, Cars24 has reported its first adjusted EBITDA-positive quarter. Chopra says the long road to profitability was partly by design, with startups investing heavily upfront in technology and experimentation.
‘𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐱’ , he says, as the timelines for building and scaling businesses shrink dramatically. ‘𝐖𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬.’
From WhatsApp-powered beginnings to a $20 million AI bet, Chopra breaks down the changing playbook for building a tech business.

What if a hacker could copy your bank’s website using a secret key as simple as the number 4? Google, Apple, and Mozilla are dropping trust in a major Indian tech giant. @AshmitTejKumar is here on why the eMudhra security blunder matters to you.

India’s startup ecosystem has come a long way. The question now is whether it can build companies that compete on a global scale, lead in emerging technologies, and attract the capital needed to get there.
On @CNBCTV18News Young Turks Reloaded, @ianetwork Group Co-Founder @TheSaurabhSri and @peakxvpartners Managing Director @RajanAnandan, co-authors of @LiftOffNation, join @ShereenBhan to explore what lies ahead for India’s startup ecosystem.
The conversation goes beyond the growth numbers to examine what it will take to turn this momentum into lasting impact, from advances in AI and deeptech to the need for stronger R&D investment and a more supportive funding ecosystem.
Watch the full discussion for insights into the opportunities and challenges ahead, and what it will take for India to realise its startup ambitions: youtu.be/a6XsNFt_Wc8?si=9Bw-…
