Ritika Jatin Ahuja Founder, Super Car Club A modern-age entrepreneur, Ritika Jain Ahuja has a sound grasp of the luxury industry. She is the Chief Operating Officer of Big Boy Toys, launched in 2009. The company deals with the resale of luxury cars. Passionate about luxury, vintage and sports cars, Ahuja is determined to dispel stereotypes that surround women who drive in India. Seeking to create change, she founded the Women’s Super-Car Club earlier this year. She says, “I feel bad when women are stereotyped as bad drivers or given the smallest car in the family. I believe that if girls can drive nations, companies, and families, then we can very well own and drive a luxury car. My belief and passion for cars is what gave me the push I needed to conceptualize and introduce this club.” Through the Women’s Supercar Club, Ahuja wants to encourage women everywhere to come out about their passion for automobiles. She wants them to feel, enjoy and demonstrate their talent and ability to manage sports cars. “The most important point is to fail. It is only when you fail, that you learn your lesson. And the growth that you experience after you finally succeed truly feels worth it.” Rohit Suri President & Managing Director, Jaguar Land Rover India R ohit Suri has been heading operations at Jaguar Land Rover India (JLRI) for over a decade.
