Gurugram, 21^st July 2026: CarDekho Group has launched Amber, an AI-powered employee listening platform, extending the company’s AI-first approach from customers to its own people. Amber retires the annual engagement survey in favour of continuous, confidential conversations across the employee lifecycle.

Amber reaches employees at the moments that matter, including onboarding, role changes, manager transitions, milestones and exits, through channels they already use, such as WhatsApp and email. Employees respond when and where they choose, in minutes, not through hour-long annual forms. The result is a listening experience built around the employee’s day, not HR’s calendar.

Amber’s AI analyses sentiment surfaces recurring themes and flags emerging risks in real time. Managers see aggregated team insights, while HR and business leaders see a live view of workforce sentiment alongside outcomes such as retention, wellbeing and team performance. Engagement at CarDekho is now tracked, reviewed and acted on with the same rigour as any operating metric, because engaged teams demonstrably perform, stay and grow.

“Annual surveys tell you what went wrong last year. Amber tells us what our people are experiencing this week and gives leaders the evidence to act on it. We believe engagement drives performance, not the other way around. Amber lets us manage that link with real data, in real time, while every individual voice stays confidential,” said Mr. Manish Wadhwa, Chief Human Resources Officer, CarDekho Group.

Every Amber conversation opens with a clear Trust Statement: individual responses stay private, and only aggregated insights inform decisions. Employees speak freely, and the organisation acts on patterns, never on persons.

Speaking on the occasion Ms. Kartha encouraged the spouses to support the retiring employees in navigating the changes of post-retirement life and have a smooth and positive transition.

A session on “Mindset for smooth Transition to a new phase of life after Retirement” was conducted by Mr. Babula Nahak, AGM (CP-2) while Mr. K K Verma, DGM (F&A) deliberated on various aspects of Financial Security Planning.  Mr. T B Toppo, DGM (Horticulture) shared tips on Post Retirement Engagement while Dr. S Kumar, Additional CMO (OHSC) spoke about ‘Ensuring good health, well-being and holistic approach for a meaningful Life.’

Mr. S P Majhi, Assistant Manager (HR) welcomed the gathering and also proposed a formal vote of thanks. The workshop was co-ordinated by Mr. S K Nayak, Deputy Manager (HR) under the guidance of Mr. Avinash, AGM (HR) with the support of and HR- ER&C team.  It is noteworthy that the workshop is being held at regular intervals covering the spouses of the -to-be-retired employees.
