About Ruchit:
Meet Ruchit Agarwal, the numbers wizard who swapped the corporate treadmill for the fast lane of entrepreneurship. And just like that, Ruchit went from balancing books to balancing the entire financial backbone of CARS24. Armed with nearly two decades of financial expertise, Ruchit didn’t just co-found CARS24—he became its financial backbone, turning dreams into deliverables and budgets into breakthroughs. From securing investor trust to driving profitability, Ruchit ensures that every financial move aligns perfectly with CARS24’s ambitious goals.
Under his meticulous eye, CARS24 transformed from a daring startup to a global auto-tech powerhouse. Whether it’s decoding market risks or crafting razor-sharp strategies, Ruchit is the guy who makes sure the wheels of innovation keep spinning—profitably, of course. For him, finance isn’t just about crunching numbers; it’s about creating a roadmap to sustainable success.
Career Turning Point:
Ruchit started his career steering through the world of finance with stints at global giants like Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and Aetna. But the more he climbed the corporate ladder, the clearer it became—he wanted to build something from scratch. That ‘aha’ moment led to co-founding CARS24, where he swapped Wall Street suits for startup challenges and turned his financial expertise into fuel for innovation.
It wasn’t just a career shift—it was a recalibration of purpose. Now, instead of crafting strategies for multinational corporations, he’s helping millions buy and sell cars with ease and trust.
Superpower:
Turning pennies into horsepower.
Favourite Car: One that balances style, performance, and value—though he’s not above indulging in the occasional luxury drive.
Fun Fact: When Ruchit isn’t crunching financial data, he’s crunching his abs in the gym or brainstorming over a steaming cup of water (because health comes first). A fan of adventure (and spreadsheets), he once joked about creating a financial model for mountain climbing. With Ruchit, the sky is literally the limit.
