A little out of our thing, but we made a trip to the 12th edition of the Auto Expo in Greater Noida this year. It started on the 7th and ended on the 12th of February.
This edition witnessed the unveiling of 70 vehicles out of which 26 were global models. An astonishing 5.61 lakh people attended this event and about 90,000 people showed up on the last day. Luckily we went there on the first day itself and enjoyed a “relatively empty” Expo.
There were a whole bunch of Bollywood superstars that attended this years Expo–Priyanka Chopra, brought in by Jaguar, Kareena Kapoor at DC Design, John Abraham at Yamaha, Akshay Kumar at HMSI and Ranbir Kapoor at Hero MotoCorp. And Sachin Tendulkar was brought in by BMW to unveil the i8 which was quite something.
We were pretty surprised at how well this event was organised. From parking to getting online tickets to mapping of buildings so that you don’t get lost. And if you’re a bike or car fan, there is absolutely not a chance in the world that you’d walk out of that building with a sad face.
