INDIA’S FIRST ALL-WOMEN SUPERCAR COMMUNITY, QUEENS DRIVE CLUB, MAKES MUMBAI DEBUT WITH A DRIVE FOR CANCER AWARENESS
Founded by Ritika Jatin Ahuja, Queens Drive Club brings together women from across business, entrepreneurship, sport and more. Mumbai drive flagged off by Chief Guest Amruta Fadnavis; QDC commits to sponsoring one lakh chemotherapy treatments
Mumbai, 6 September 2026 ( TGN ): Queens Drive Club (QDC), India’s first all women supercar community, made its Mumbai debut on 6 September 2026, bringing together women from diverse fields for a drive dedicated to cancer awareness. The drive was flagged off by Chief Guest Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis at Bastian Beach Club, Juhu, and concluded with a brunch and an insightful panel discussion featuring cancer survivors, encouraging greater awareness and more open conversations around the cause.
Over 70 women from the world of business, entrepreneurship, sport and arts took the wheel for the drive, marking QDC’s first edition in Mumbai and its sixth edition in the country, as well as its most purpose-led outing to date. What began as a community of women united by a shared passion for supercars and luxury automotive experiences has evolved into a platform with more than 100 members, centred on women’s leadership, camaraderie, shared experiences and social impact.
For its Mumbai debut, QDC, in partnership with PATH Foundation and with the support of V Care Foundation, dedicated the drive to cancer awareness. As part of the initiative, members contributed towards comprehensive cancer treatment, chemotherapy sessions, palliative care and meal support for patients in need. Palliative care is specialised medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness. Extending its commitment beyond the drive, QDC is also sponsoring one lakh chemotherapy treatments in partnership with PATH Foundation, taking its focus from awareness to tangible support for cancer patients.
Commenting on the initiative, Chief Guest Amruta Fadnavis said, “It is inspiring to see women come together around a shared passion and use the strength of their community to create a larger impact. Cancer affects families across every section of society, and initiatives that encourage awareness, early detection and conversations around treatment are extremely important. I am delighted to flag off Queens Drive Club’s first Mumbai drive and see its members use their collective voice and influence to support a cause that deserves greater attention.”
Speaking on the occasion, Ritika Jatin Ahuja, Founder, Queens Drive Club, said, “QDC started with a simple idea of bringing women together through a shared passion for automobiles, but it has grown into a community with a much larger purpose. Our first Mumbai drive was an opportunity to bring women from different walks of life together while supporting a cause that impacts countless families. Through our association with V Care Foundation and PATH Foundation, we wanted to take that purpose a step further and contribute towards meaningful support for those affected by cancer. For us, the drive is as much about the community we are building as it is about the cause we are supporting.”
Sakshi Agrawal, Founder of PATH Foundation, said, “The idea behind this drive was to bring women together around a cause that deserves greater attention, awareness and support. Cancer impacts the lives of patients and their families financially, physically and emotionally. We wanted to create a platform that encourages people to come forward and contribute. A small gesture of support, a conversation, or simply being there for someone can make a meaningful difference. ‘Every act counts’, is the message we hope everyone takes away from this initiative.”
The post-drive brunch featured a panel bringing together cancer survivors Chhavi Mittal and Tannishtha Chatterjee, moderated by Sakshi Agarwal, founder of PATH foundation. The conversation brought lived experiences to the forefront, highlighting the importance of greater awareness, early detection and more open, less stigmatised conversations around cancer.
The event was also attended by several notable personalities, including Seema Singh, Mehreen Gandhi and others, who came together to support the initiative and QDC’s commitment towards cancer awareness.
The Mumbai edition was hosted at Bastian Beach Club, with support from Ranjit Bindra, Founder, Bastian Hospitality.
Commenting on the initiative, Ranjit Bindra, Founder & CEO, Bastian Hospitality, said, “It gives me great pleasure to be part of such an important initiative. Awareness is where every meaningful change begins, and Bastian Hospitality is grateful to PATH Foundation and Queens Drive Club for the opportunity to come together in the fight against cancer and help spread awareness for a cause that touches so many lives.”
The Mumbai debut marks another step in QDC’s journey of building a strong, connected community of women who share a passion for automobiles, driven by purpose while creating experiences that extend beyond the drive itself.
