At Simplifying Auto, every recommendation is completely independent, unbiased, and based on your budget, usage, driving habits, and long-term ownership goals.

The consultation is led by Akshay Naik, Founder of Simplifying Auto, who has been closely following the Indian automotive industry for over 15 years. Akshay also brings valuable OEM experience, having worked at the headquarters of Å koda Auto Volkswagen India Pvt.

Today, Akshay is also an active automotive YouTuber with consistently growing monthly video views, where thousands of car buyers trust Simplifying Auto for honest reviews, unbiased comparisons, and practical car-buying advice. Having personally driven, evaluated, and created detailed videos on more than 100 cars and variants, he brings first-hand ownership insights that go far beyond reading brochures and specification sheets. Having driven and evaluated hundreds of vehicles, attended national automotive events, and advised buyers across different budgets, Akshay combines industry knowledge, real-world ownership insights, and practical buying experience to help you make the right decision—not the popular one. One of the biggest reasons buyers connect with Simplifying Auto is our ability to explain complex automotive concepts in simple, jargon-free Hinglish that anyone can understand. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an experienced enthusiast, our goal is to simplify your decision—not complicate it.
Being a native Maharashtrian, Akshay also offers consultations in Marathi, making the experience even more comfortable for buyers across Maharashtra who prefer discussing their car-buying decisions in their native language.

Not at all.

Every recommendation is based on your needs, even if the vehicle hasn't yet been reviewed on our channel.
YouTube reviews are made for thousands of viewers.

Absolutely.
Everything discussed during your consultation remains completely confidential.
Your personal details, budget, buying preferences and discussions are never shared with dealerships, manufacturers or any third party.

Our goal is simple:
