The Dark Reality of Pune’s Elite

In Pune, spotting luxury cars like Jaguars, BMWs, or Audis is common. We assume their owners are welathy, but here’s a reality check: A person I know, who lends money on interest, once showed me a 2018 Jaguar XF. It was kept as collateral for just ₹8 lakhs. Surprisingly, this wasn’t the first luxury car he’d received . BMWs, Audis, and others had also come to him in similar situations. It’s a reminder that behind the glamor of these cars often lie untold struggles and financial missteps.
