Rajat Dewasi
Senior auto writer at The Car Jury. Rajat is from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, where the car trade is the family business. He tracks the Indian market for buyers who want the verdict before the spec sheet, and he has spent real time, weeks and months at a stretch, living with the cars he writes about.
Why I write about cars
I was born and raised in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and I still call it home. I finished my graduation here and went straight into running my own business, which sits squarely in the car trade. Cars were never a hobby I picked up later; the work runs in my family, and I have been part of it since I was young enough to be handed the keys to move something in the yard.
I have been talking about cars since I was twelve. Friends, cousins, neighbours, anyone weighing up a purchase, they would end up at my door for an opinion on what to buy and what to walk away from. That habit never left me. The Car Jury is where I have turned it into something useful for people I will never meet.
Being in the business gives me one real advantage. I do not get a car for a quick afternoon and a set of photos. I get to keep it, in city traffic, on the highway, with family in the back, through the heat and the monsoon. That is the only way you learn what a car is actually like to own, and it is the perspective I bring to every verdict on this site.
Cars he has lived with
19 cars · 10 brands · and counting
A short test drive gives you the launch-day story. Living with a car gives you the truth. Because Rajat is in the trade, he keeps a car far longer than most reviewers ever get to: every car below has been his for at least a month, some bought and run as his own, others borrowed from friends over the years. That time behind the wheel is what sits underneath the verdicts here.

Editorial approach
Rajat writes The Car Jury's news desk: short, opinionated pieces that pair the facts of a launch, price change, or policy shift with a clear verdict on what it actually means for buyers. Every news piece on the site that carries his byline draws on perspectives from the independent reviewer pool we track, layered with market context.
He works to one editorial rule: do not publish news that has no useful take. If neither the influencer pool nor independent analysis adds anything beyond the press release, the story is skipped. The byline appears only when the verdict earns space on the page.
