Industry: Automotive | Mobility | Community Building | Digital Services
Professional Experience: Karthik has built his career at the intersection of business development, digital marketing, and automotive innovation. As Co-Founder and Executive Director of Noto Motor, he has helped develop a platform that offers car valuation, certified pre-owned vehicles, insurance, financing, community events, and lifestyle benefits. In addition to his work in the automotive industry, he also manages a digital marketing business specialising in website development and search engine optimisation, combining technology with customer-focused solutions.
Turning Point: A defining moment came when Karthik noticed that most car communities were centred around specific vehicle brands, limiting opportunities for enthusiasts to connect across different interests. He envisioned a community where everyone is welcome, regardless of whether they drive a sports car, family sedan, electric vehicle, or classic model. By emphasising inclusivity, responsible driving, and shared experiences, he created a unique platform that brings together people who simply enjoy cars and the driving lifestyle.
What He Does Now: Today, Karthik leads the growth and strategic direction of Noto Motor, expanding its community and digital ecosystem through technology, events, partnerships, and automotive services. He continues to champion responsible driving culture while building innovative solutions that simplify car ownership and enhance the overall experience for motorists in Singapore and beyond. His vision is to establish Noto Motor as the go-to automotive community where people connect through a shared passion for cars rather than the brands they drive.
