Founder, DDS · Automotive Consultant
I started DDS in 2018 because I kept watching friends and family walk into showrooms with a spec sheet printed off the internet and walk out with the wrong variant. The information was everywhere — forums, YouTube, dealer pitches — and none of it was theirs. Nobody was answering the actual question: what should I buy, for my roads, my budget, my usage?
So I started answering it. On YouTube first — unbiased reviews, long-term ownership stories, maintenance explainers. Then one-on-one, for people who wanted a decision rather than more content. Over 4,000 buyers later, the method hasn't changed: real ownership data and market intelligence, minus the dealer's agenda.
That single fact changes every recommendation I give.
No kickbacks from dealers, manufacturers, financiers or insurers. Your consultation fee is my only revenue — so there's nothing to sell you.
Reliability, real-world mileage, service costs, known failure points. The things that matter three years in, not on day one.
Service network gaps, monsoon conditions, fuel pricing, resale dynamics, regional dealer behaviour. Not spec-sheet comparisons.
No call centre, no script, no generic PDF. You get a written recommendation from someone who has actually driven the cars.
Budget, city, how many km you drive a month, who's travelling — and most importantly, what exactly is confusing you.
I match your inputs against real ownership costs, reliability records, resale trends and current on-road pricing in your city.
A written recommendation on WhatsApp within 24 hours — specific cars, specific variants, and the reasoning behind each one.
Real people who stopped guessing and made a call.
“I was set on a diesel because everyone told me it's cheaper to run. Ravindra asked one question — how many km a month — and showed me the break-even was eleven years at my usage. Bought the petrol, saved ₹1.4 lakh upfront.”
“The dealer had me convinced I needed the top variant. Ravindra went feature by feature and told me the mid variant was enough for how I actually drive. That's the first time anyone in this process told me to spend less.”
“Three months of YouTube comparisons and I was more confused than when I started. One WhatsApp report and I had two cars, one variant, and a clear reason for each. Booked within the week.”
Every plan gets you a real human answer. The difference is depth and speed.

Because of how I get paid. I take no commission, referral fee or incentive from any dealer, manufacturer, financier or insurance provider — my only revenue is your consultation fee. If a ₹7 lakh car is right for you, I'll say so even though I'd earn the same either way. Ask me for cars I've told people not to buy; I have a long list.
That's the easiest case. Tell me the cars you're considering and what's making you hesitate, and I'll give you a direct verdict with the reasoning — including which variant of the winner to actually buy.
A review answers "is this car good?" You need an answer to "is this car good for me?" Those are different questions. My free YouTube content covers the first. The consultation covers the second — your budget, your city, your monthly running, your family size.
They change the answer more than anything else. On-road price, service network quality and resale demand all vary by city. And monthly running is what decides petrol vs diesel vs CNG vs EV — the same car can be the right or wrong buy depending on whether you drive 400 km or 2,500 km a month.
Yes. Used-car decisions carry more risk — service history, known failure points at specific mileages, and fair market pricing. Mention it in the form and I'll factor it in.
Then you shouldn't pay for it. See the refund policy — and if something's unclear in your report, just reply on WhatsApp and I'll clarify.
Two minutes of questions. One clear recommendation, from someone who isn't selling you a car.
