Pratik Rakshit

Pratik Rakshit has been writing and talking about cars since 2015. A journalism postgraduate from the Asian College of Journalism, Chennai, he has worked across both magazine and digital platforms, developing a sharp, well-rounded voice in automotive storytelling. From hatchbacks to high-performance SUVs, he tests cars the old-school way—by feel, instinct, and an honest throttle. While he respects automotive tech and innovation, his soft spot remains with no-frills, mechanical purity. He also harbours a long-standing fascination for a certain Bavarian brand with roots in aircraft engines. His idea of the perfect car? A rear-engined Porsche with timeless curves, naturally aspirated flat-six, and a manual gearbox. Off the road, Pratik is a loyal Chelsea FC supporter and backs Lewis Hamilton every race weekend.
