You all are jealous of India Today. I have switched over from Times of India, Hindustan Times and even CNN-IBN to India Today. They cover so wide variety of news including cars

@vandana - brilliant observation

@guruji - Go to Key Measures, select "News/Information" as the category. You will indeed see India Today Group at 5.9 million uniques (for traffic from India). If you click on the + sign the figures you see are

India Today (which includes Indiatoday.in) 2.87m
Carwale.com 1.719 million
BagItToday.com 1.69 million
BusinessToday 0.272 m
IndiaTodayGroup.com 0.065m
Aaj Tak 0.058
headlines Today 0.048m
Cosmopolitan 0.024
DigitalToday.in 0.009m
and many many more

So under "News" IndiaToday very much has Carwale. It cannot be denied. Otherwise the number doesn't add up to 5.9 million

This is the case for all other sites also but other sites are not claiming to be leaders because they know comscore is not accurate

@Vandana - Obviously you were in too much of a rush to share your views. What you probably missed noting is that this ranking pertains to the properties of Indiatoday that belong to the _News and Information_ category - which obviously does NOT cover carwale and bagittoday. and please, if you know anything about comscore, you would know that their numbers are culled from primary data rather than news reports or press releases.
It is advisable that you first get your facts straight before shooting from the hip in an obviously unqualified attempt to malign two very reputed brands - comscore and indiatoday. You comment is inaccurate, misleading, incoherent and pointless and readers of the forum would be much better off without being exposed to such remarks.

This report is a bogus one. As per Comscore Carwale has 1.7 & Bagittoday has 1.6 million unique. Subtract that from 5.9, Indiatoday as a NEWS entity has 2.6 million unique users.

Kalli's claims of creating compelling news environment falls flat in the wake of these new numbers.

@comscore should take note of such fake releases and penalise the publisher, other wise your credibility is at stake

Why isn't carwale.com mentioned in the article?
