MUMBAI: CARS24 is driving into its next growth lap with a familiar hand at the wheel. The autotech major has elevated Manoj Yadav as chief business officer for its India operations, tasking him with steering the company through its next chapter of scale, profitability and innovation.
In his new role, Yadav will lead CARS24’s business strategy and execution across verticals, with a strong focus on sustainable expansion and customer trust.
Yadav’s journey at CARS24 has been one of turning challenges into comeback stories. He took charge of the retail business during one of its toughest phases and led a full-scale rebuild, simplifying operations, rethinking assumptions and restoring accountability. The result was one of the company’s most remarkable turnarounds, bringing retail operations close to breakeven while launching innovations like the 30-day return policy and CARS24 care plus.
Described as a systems thinker with a bias for action, Yadav is known for his clear-eyed leadership and knack for building scalable frameworks. His ability to unite teams around purpose has made him a key pillar in CARS24’s success story.
“Manoj has consistently led with clarity and action,” said CARS24 CEO – India Himanshu Ratnoo. “From turning around retail to building scalable systems, his deep understanding of our operations and customers stands out. His experience will be pivotal as we enter the next phase of growth.”
Reflecting on his new role, Yadav said, “Mobility transforms lives by creating access, opportunity and confidence. ‘Better drives, better lives’ is what inspires us, and I’m excited to carry that purpose forward.”
Before joining CARS24, Yadav held leadership roles at Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance and Idea Cellular, where he focused on marketing, digital alliances, and retail strategy.
With Yadav in the driver’s seat, CARS24’s India business seems all set for a smooth, accelerated ride ahead.
