CarYaar Auto Private Limited, a DPIIT-recognised technology startup, has announced the appointment of Sahaib Singh as its new Co-Founder and Head of Technology. The company, which operates within India’s fragmented car servicing ecosystem, is focused on integrating transparency and digital trust into the automotive aftermarket. Singh’s arrival marks a pivotal moment for the firm as it works to expand its technological infrastructure and formalize a sector traditionally characterised by informal practices.

Bringing over a decade of experience as a full-stack technologist across mobility, freight and artificial intelligence platforms, Singh will now spearhead the company’s technology strategy and product development. His leadership comes at a critical juncture as CarYaar advances its integrated digital platform, which aims to seamlessly connect car owners, workshops and other stakeholders within the automotive service network. The company is prioritising practical solutions over complex enterprise systems, developing a mobile-first, offline-capable and WhatsApp-native interface to ensure accessibility for multi-brand workshops and customers alike.

Under Singh’s technical direction, the platform is being tailored to serve three distinct user groups with specific operational tools. Workshops are equipped with digital job cards, photo-based inspections, parts tracking and billing systems, while service advisors and managers receive web-based applications for estimate creation and analytics. For car owners, the service enables booking, real-time job tracking and digital payments through WhatsApp, eliminating the need for a separate application. The overarching goal is to use technology not merely to digitise existing processes but to fundamentally enhance the relationship between vehicle owners and service providers.

CarYaar’s model emphasises transparency through features such as real-time photo documentation, pre-approved estimates and digital billing, offering customers clear visibility into their vehicle’s service journey. Currently operating with a network of certified empanelled workshops in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, the startup is actively building a broader technology-enabled ecosystem that includes multi-brand services, roadside assistance and spares management. This strategic expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to developing simple, accessible and genuinely useful technology for the Indian workshop environment.

Joel Daniel D’Souza, Co-Founder & Director, CarYaar Auto Private Limited, said, “Sahaib brings a strong combination of technology depth and experience across mobility and emerging technology platforms. As we scale CarYaar, technology will be central to how we connect customers and workshops, create transparency and bring greater efficiency to the entire ecosystem. His leadership will be critical as we move from building the foundation to scaling the platform.”

Tata Consultancy Services has entered into an agreement with Porsche to acquire 100 percent of MHP Management- und IT-Beratung, the car maker's management and IT consulting subsidiary.

The transaction remains subject to regulatory and antitrust approvals and is expected to close in the coming months.

Furthermore, the acquisition is paired with a 5-year strategic agreement between TCS and Porsche to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across the automaker's value chain.

As per the understanding, MHP will operate as an independent consulting firm and retain its brand identity within TCS, combining MHP's automotive consulting operations across Europe with TCS's engineering, cloud and AI infrastructure.

Federico Magno, Group CEO, MHP, said, “MHP’s sweet spot has always been where entrepreneurial thinking, deep industry expertise and technology come together to make transformation happen. With TCS, we are bringing together MHP’s deep automotive and industrial capabilities with global scale, AI, engineering and technology expertise. This gives us an even stronger platform to accelerate our next chapter – with more capabilities, more reach and greater impact for our clients. Most importantly, it creates new opportunities for our people and clients to shape the future of industry.”

K Krithivasan, CEO and MD, Tata Consultancy Services, said, “TCS is pleased to partner Porsche in its transformation journey. As AI, software and data redefine the automotive industry, this partnership brings together TCS’ capabilities in AI, engineering and technology and business transformation with MHP’s strong automotive consulting expertise. Together, we will industrialise AI at scale for Porsche, accelerating innovation across the value chain to deliver intelligent, software-defined mobility experiences of the future.”

As part of the multi-year deal, TCS and MHP will establish an AI Mobility Centre of Excellence to develop and deploy artificial intelligence systems for manufacturing, engineering, supply-chain operations, and customer service applications.

Dr Michael Leiters, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board, Porsche AG, said, “Porsche is taking another important step in its strategy to focus resolutely on its core business with the transfer of MHP to Tata Consultancy Services. At the same time, we are gaining a strategic partner in TCS. By combining Porsche's automotive expertise with TCS's digital technology and AI capabilities, we will further strengthen our innovative power, increase efficiency and boost our competitiveness in an increasingly data- and software-driven world of mobility.”

The move enables Porsche to focus resources on its core vehicle operations while retaining MHP and TCS as external technology partners for its IT and digital transformation requirements.
