India is a representation of everything beautiful that one can crave to see around the world.
Traveling by road is the best, safest & most economical option for wanderlust expatriates and Indians to get the true essence of India.

Who are the expatriates visiting India and willing to be my car travel buddy?

As a corporate marketing strategist and visiting faculty at b-schools pan-India, I gather out of the box marketing inspirations while driving around this huge and fascinating country with expatriate travel buddies in my own VW car.
Let's drive entire India or a part of it (and even Bhutan, Nepal) together in my own car absolutely hassle free and as travel buddies in total safety, comfort, flexibility and affordable cost.

However, this friendly offer/ invitation to expatriates worldwide should not be misconstrued as a business proposition.
Interested? I am all ears. Please revert to roadieindian@gmail.com or WhatsApp +91 82408 49300.

Yellow taxis in Kolkata in West Bengal, India are a receeding phenomenon as in mid-2017

Receeding phenomenon!
In another 4 - 5 years, the ubiquitous gaudy yellow Ambassador taxis could be an absolutely rare sight in #Kolkata in #WestBengal, #India.
During my growing up years it was only the Black body and Yellow top Ambassador taxis manufactured by Hindustan Motors that ruled the thoroughfares of Kolkata.
For some odd policies of the erstwhile Communist Government that ruled the state from 1977 to 2011, the colours of all taxis in Kolkata were changed to a gaudy Yellow in the early 2000s.
In May 2011 with the change of government in West Bengal, it became mandatory for all taxis to sport horizontal blue lines on both sides.
It's widely known that the lady head of the present government since 2011 has a peculiar fetish for blue and white. As in 2017, all new general taxis in Kolkata are sporting the white and blue colour.
Moreover, it's already over 2 years that the production of Ambassador cars have stopped because the company has downed shutters.
