The Japanese dominated the world in quality and products in the 1970s and 1980s. But lately, their products lag behind the norm in India and they don't appear to have a strategy that works towards the changing needs of Indian car and motorcycle buyers. On ThisConnect season 2, episode two, Kartikeya and Shumi are talking about how this incredible country and culture lost its way. And what's the solution.

On the opening episode of ThisConnect Season 02 – our podcast – Kartikeya and Shumi are talking about what they promised in Season 01: the correct way to break in, bed in, or run in, if you prefer, you new car, motorcycle or scooter. It's simpler than you think, and you're worrying a bit too much, maybe?

Episode 20 marks the end of the first Season of #ThisConnect, our #podcast. For the past 5 months, we've loved interacting with you in the comments' stream. So for this episode we decided to pick two comments from each episode that really made us think. These are your comments and this is what Kartikeya Singhee and Shumi are thinking on those topics.

As road testers and vehicle evaluators, our job is to figure out where a new vehicle fits. Into its universe of rivals, into your life and into its role. How we do this is what Kartikeya and Shumi are discussing on episode 19 of ThisConnect, our podcast. And if you think databases were boring, here's our database of vehicles that are game-changers. Meet the milestones.
