Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge: Litmus7 CEO’s ₹16 Crore Luxury Ride Sets New Record
Kochi, India – In a landmark moment for India’s luxury automotive market, Venu Gopalakrishnan, the visionary CEO of Kochi-based tech firm Litmus7, has become the first Indian to acquire the ultra-exclusive Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II Black Badge. This bespoke luxury sedan, with an on-road price tag of nearly ₹16 crore, is more than just a car; it’s a statement of unparalleled success and a passion for high-performance engineering.
Gopalakrishnan’s choice of the Ghost Black Badge is a clear departure from the norm. While many Rolls-Royce owners prefer the chauffeur-driven comfort of a Phantom, Gopalakrishnan, an avid car enthusiast, opted for the Ghost’s unique ‘driver’s car’ experience. The Black Badge variant, a symbol of high-performance and a darker, more rebellious aesthetic, is powered by a formidable V12 engine that promises an exhilarating journey.
This isn’t the first time Gopalakrishnan has made headlines for his automotive purchases. His passion for high-end vehicles is well-documented, as he previously set a record by acquiring a unique registration number for his Lamborghini Urus Performante, paying a staggering ₹46 lakh. This new acquisition further solidifies his reputation as one of India’s most prominent car collectors.
The story of the car’s delivery has also taken a viral turn. An anecdote about an MVD officer taking the Rolls-Royce for a “quick spin” has been widely shared on social media. While no credible news reports have confirmed this specific incident, it speaks volumes about the awe and fascination that surrounds a vehicle of this caliber. Even officials tasked with routine inspections find it hard to resist the allure of a car that is a masterpiece of engineering and luxury.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge is more than a vehicle; it’s a testament to the dreams and achievements of a new generation of Indian entrepreneurs. For Venu Gopalakrishnan, it represents not just a luxury purchase, but a unique extension of his personality—one that values performance, exclusivity, and the sheer joy of a truly exceptional driving experience.
