In one of India’s biggest motoring events, fifty corporate motoring teams engaged in fierce competition for the top honors in the City of Joy. The iLEAD WHEELS 9th Corporate Car Treasure Hunt 2026 was a special car hunt created just for Kolkata’s corporate executives. They competed to be the best in a race that put their driving prowess and intelligence to the test.

Once again, the Corporate Car Treasure Hunt proved to be one of the most thrilling corporate motoring events in the city.

Participating in their own four-wheelers were about fifty corporate teams, each with a minimum of two adults and a maximum of four adults. Each team received a clue sheet with eight distinct riddles at the flag-off location. The teams arrived at secret locations after solving the riddles, and the marshals on their track cards confirmed that they had arrived at the right places.

This year’s edition added an intriguing twist to the classic treasure hunt format, including tulip (route map)-based motoring, multiple-choice questions about Kolkata, and the gathering of scavenger items from three required pit stops, making the event even more difficult and entertaining.

Teams were assessed based on pre-established points after the event, and the winner and the first, second, third, and fourth runners-up were then determined.

“At iLEAD, we believe that education extends far beyond the classroom. Participants in events like the iLEAD WHEELS Corporate Car Treasure Hunt are encouraged to think critically, collaborate with others, and make decisions under pressure—qualities that characterize effective leaders. We are thrilled to have collaborated with Kolkata on WHEELS to bring Kolkata’s business community together for an exciting event that skillfully combined knowledge, exploration, and cooperation. We extend our congratulations to all of the competitors and winners for their outstanding zeal and spirit of competition,” said Mr. Pradip Chopra, Chairman of iLEAD.

The Corporate Car Treasure Hunt, which offers a special fusion of adventure, knowledge, navigation, and corporate camaraderie, has grown over the years to become one of Kolkata’s most anticipated annual motoring events. Its status as a significant occasion in the city’s monsoon calendar is further reinforced by the ninth edition’s successful completion.
