The Indian Oil Kolkata on WHEELS 7th Corporate Car Treasure Hunt 2024 was a resounding success, captivating Kolkata with an exciting motoring chase that saw 50 corporate houses competing fiercely for top honors.
Organized by Kolkata on Wheels in partnership with Saini Toyota, State Bank of India, CEAT, Hotel DeSovrani, 91.9 Friends FM, the Automobile Association of Eastern India, and Advise Advertising, the event brought the city to life on a Sunday full of adventure.
The Corporate Car Treasure Hunt is an engaging and competitive event where teams of up to four adults, each representing a different corporate entity, navigate through the city in their own vehicles.

At the start, each team receives a clue sheet filled with riddles. Solving these riddles leads them to various destinations across the city, where marshals verify their arrival by marking their track card.
This year, the event introduced elements of Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) format rallying and scavenger hunts, adding extra excitement and complexity to the challenge.
