Driven by Passion Since Day 1 ⚡
From Spectator to Studio Owner 🔥

10 years ago, attending events like Vroom and surrounding myself with supercars, superbikes, and the PowerDrift crew wasn’t just a weekend hobby—it was the spark. 🏎️💨

My passion for motorsport, performance cars, and bikes started back in childhood. Even back then, I knew deep down that whatever I built in life had to revolve around automobiles.

Fast forward to 2026: that childhood dream is reality. I turned that lifelong passion into MR Car Detailing right here in Chitradurga. Everyday we treat every vehicle that rolls into our studio with the exact same obsession and care that started a decade ago.

From chasing dreams at the airstrip to building the dream in our detailing studio. Thank you all for being part of the journey! 🙌✨

For the last few years, not a single Ladakh ride has gone by without spotting some Mahindra test vehicles. I’m not sure about the model this time, but this one was spotted around Pangong Tso.
And my fully loaded motorcycle was looking so good against the backdrop of Pangong Tso.

What happens when electric performance meets adventure riding?

We take the Ultraviolette X-47 out on the road and into mixed riding conditions to see what this electric ADV is like to ride.

From twisty roads to off-road sections, we put its ride modes, instant torque, regenerative braking and long-distance usability to the test.

Can an electric motorcycle deliver the kind of involvement you expect from an adventure bike?

Watch the full video on YouTube.

What does it mean to be an “automotive romantic”?

Anurag Salgaonkar joins Varun Painter for a conversation about his journey from VFX artist to full-time automotive content creator, his love for motorcycles, and the leap of faith that turned a hobby into a career.

They also get into the changing automotive media landscape, the creator economy, storytelling vs the algorithm, finding your own voice, and what brands could do differently.

And towards the end, Anurag explains why he doesn’t call himself an automotive expert or journalist, but an “automotive romantic.”
