In this insightful conversation, Ishaan Panwar Kothiyal (Head of Design - UAE & AU, Cars24 Arabia) joins Akshit Malhotra (Former AVP & Global Head of Product Design, Cars24) to discuss how global UX differs from India. From mobile-first behaviours in India to desktop-first purchasing patterns in Australia, the discussion highlights how cultural nuance, regulation (GDPR, accessibility), and contextual understanding shape product decisions.
