About Vikram:
Meet Vikram Chopra, the fearless driver who swapped a cushy seat at Wharton for the wild ride of entrepreneurship—because, why not? After cruising through IIT Bombay, McKinsey, and Sequoia Capital, Vikram decided the corporate highway was just too tame. So, he hit the brakes, did a sharp U-turn, and sped back to India, not with a GPS, but with a burning itch to do something crazy on his own. His first pit stop? Launching FabFurnish, where he rolled up his sleeves, got a little dusty, and flipped the home decor game on its head. But that was just the warm-up lap. The real race began with Cars24, where Vikram didn’t just find his lane—he built the entire damn highway.Today, Cars24 isn’t just a used car platform; it’s a global auto-tech powerhouse, with Vikram at the wheel, turbocharging the way we buy and sell cars. From India to the UAE to Australia, he’s taking the world on a wild ride, proving that when it comes to innovation, there are no speed limits.

Turning point:
Before Wharton, Vikram dabbled as an Investment Analyst at Sequoia Capital and a Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company, but the whole office routine was way too dull for his taste. Sitting in a cubicle? Not his style. He craved action, not spreadsheets. Then came the real kicker at Wharton. While everyone else was polishing up their resumes, Vikram had a lightbulb moment—screw the conventional path! He dropped out faster than you can say "MBA" and went full throttle into the startup world. It wasn’t just a leap of faith; it was a cannonball dive off a cliff into the unknown, with no life jacket, just pure passion. And while he’s been racing ahead ever since, he might occasionally glance in the rearview mirror, just to chuckle at how far he's left the boring behind.

Superpower:
Outsmarting challenges before they know what hit them.

Favourite car:
Whatever his wife tosses him the keys to, as long as it’s that sweet Porsche!

Fun fact:
When Vikram isn’t driving the auto industry, he is either hanging with his family or trying out some crazy adventure sport you’ve probably never heard of. Right now, he’s learning callisthenics—because flipping the industry isn’t enough, so why not flip himself too?
