How A Red Hyundai Became The Perfect Companion For This Gurgaon-Based Content Writer

For Nandini, a Gurgaon-based writer, her red Hyundai i10 embodies independence, freedom, elegance, and resonates well with her personality. With CarDekho's help, the car-buying journey became seamless for her

For Nandini, a 34-year-old content writer from Gurgaon, life has always been a mix of creativity, ambition, and family values. Buying her first car was a milestone she always looked forward to, not just as a necessity but as a personal achievement. With her career flourishing and weekend visits to her family being a regular affair, the timing felt perfect to make this long-held dream come true.

A Need For Independence

Nandini grew up in a financially secure family. Her parents, always supportive, told her they’d help if she needed it. But that wasn’t the point. “This had to be mine,” she says.  “And I wanted to earn it on my own.” 

Navigating a busy city like Delhi-NCR meant braving public transport or occasionally requesting a friend or colleague to give her a lift. With frequent late nights at work and weekly trips to visit her parents, - “There were too many moments where I thought, ‘This would be so much easier If I had my own car’.”

The Role Of Instagram In The Search

As someone immersed in digital media for her job, Nandini found inspiration and guidance in CarDekho’s engaging social media reels. “CarDekho’s reels were both funny and packed with useful tips. They made car research feel less intimidating and even enjoyable,” she shares.

From exploring features to understanding the importance of mileage and maintenance costs, CarDekho’s bite-sized content gave her clarity on what to prioritise. “It was like a crash course on car buying, served with a dash of humour,” she laughs.

Why She Chose The Hyundai i10 And The Colour Red

When Nandini began her research on CarDekho, she was immediately impressed by its easy-to-use tools for comparing models, exploring reviews, checking colour options and even exploring financing options. Her list of must-haves was simple: compact design for city driving, fuel efficiency for her frequent trips, and a car that would keep her safe during late-night commutes - the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios checked every box.

But the decision didn’t stop there. Choosing the colour red was a deliberate and meaningful choice for Nandini. “red has always symbolised elegance for me. It’s vibrant and clean, just like the stories I love to write,” she explains. “It’s a colour that stands out yet feels grounded, much like my personality,” she adds with a smile.

The Joy Of Ownership

The day Nandini brought home her red Hyundai i10 was unforgettable. The first drive was a visit to her parents’ house to surprise them. “I didn’t tell them I’d bought it,” she says, laughing. “I just showed up and honked. They came outside, and my dad looked at the car, then at me, and just said, ‘Finally’! I no longer have to worry about cabs. The car feels like a natural extension of my independence,” she says.

CarDekho: The Game-Changer

Looking back, Nandini credits CarDekho for making her car-buying journey seamless and stress-free. “It wasn’t just a website; it felt like a partner that understood my needs and guided me every step of the way,” she says.

Even now, she continues to follow CarDekho for updates, tips, and its quirky social media content. “Their reels were like a little nudge to get me started, and I’ll always be grateful for that,” she shares.
