Licence To Drive founder is world's youngest automobile blogger
Raghav Sarma, the founder of Licence To Drive is among the youngest voices in the automotive content space. He approaches the domain with a different lens, one that is more of instinct and discovery. An approach that is deliberately personal.
Every automotive journey starts somewhere. For most, it begins behind the wheel. For a few, it starts earlier—with observation, curiosity, and the need to understand cars beyond simply driving them.
The founder of Licence To Drive belongs to that second path. Being among the youngest voices in the space isn’t a novelty—it’s a perspective. Less shaped by legacy, more by instinct. Less about nostalgia, more about discovery. At a time when automotive content is often driven by access and scale, this approach feels intentionally personal.
Building a platform from the ground up at 13—without templates, without a borrowed voice—demands a certain clarity of thought. The focus isn’t on volume, but on point of view. On experiencing cars firsthand—across garages, roads, and auto shows—and translating that into writing that feels considered and honest. In many ways, it mirrors a changing audience: younger, more aware, less interested in brochure language, and more drawn to authenticity.
“Youngest automobile blogger” makes for an easy headline. But the real story lies in what comes after. Because credibility, over time, isn’t defined by when you begin.
It’s defined by how you build.
