Cars24 Labs, the artificial intelligence innovation arm of autotech platform Cars24, has partnered with the Startup Policy Forum (SPF) to promote responsible AI adoption, strengthen policy dialogue and accelerate India’s emergence as a global AI innovation hub.
The collaboration brings together Cars24 Labs’ hands-on experience in building AI-powered products with SPF’s policy expertise and industry network to support AI innovation, regulatory discussions and cross-border collaborations.

Cars24 Labs said it will share practical insights gained from deploying AI across products used by millions of customers, contributing real-world experience to policy and industry discussions.
Supporting India’s AI ambitions
