In a short span of time CarDekho, the leading automotive portal, has managed to be on the minds of every automobile freak in the nation, and it goes without saying that every iota of reason and basis of popularity goes to our loyal visitors. On that belief, we have, in the recent past put together CarDekho 2013 Awards, presented by Berkshireinsurance.com and co-sponsored by Sterling Holidays. All decisions regarding the category for these awards, choosing which popular cars will compete in different categories, went live on 7th of January 2013. From then on, everybody had waited with baited breath for the voting to come out with the results on 7th February. We are glad to bring forth the information that almost 3,29,434 cast votes have been registered, for their favorite cars during the voting period. There were 10 different categories from which voters had the choice of picking up their favorite cars to stand out among the rest. This award has also shown what kind of cars have made it to the desire-list of anyone who wants to own a car, or change their used car for new car in India. Being the first year of CarDekho Awards 2013, we are very encouraged by the amount of voting we have seen and the interest of people towards giving recognition to their cars. We hope and aspire to bring out more such measures, to ensure that our loyal visitor base has some or the other thing to be more informed, more engrossed and more valued than they ever have been.
