About us

Petrol heads, motor heads etc. call us whatever but it is written all over our faces that we love cars and for that reason we believe this project is fueled purely by passion. Your enthusiasm and interaction gives that passion a purpose.

A team of articulate and experienced professionals we are, and we liaise directly with the  car makers based to collect accurate information and conduct real world test drives. The prestige or rather our edge over other publishers lay in our unbiased idiosyncratic opinion, available freely to our readers.

In addition to AutoMiddleEast.com, AdCom also publishes Auto Emirates Annual Car Buyer’s Guide and Nissan Middle East’s corporate magazine – SHIFT.

Our Team

Pankaj Dev, Founder & Managing Editor

Pankaj has been working with the automotive industry since 1992. He discovered his passion for cars in the first business venture as a car dealer in native India and has been breathing autos since. 

When not thinking cars, he is either diving or camping in the sand dunes of UAE.

George Kuruvilla, Sub Editor

Born and raised in Dubai, UAE, George has grown up to the sights and sounds of cars only a few can dream about, let alone experiencing. Using some of the most absurd analogies, he describes what a car could mean to you as a reader, an enthusiast or a potential buyer. He has a story to tell with everything he scripts and like to keep it ‘real’.
