The Unbiased Awards Winners 2021

Welcome to The Unbiased Awards 2021: the one and only annual celebration of the best of Tech and Auto we’ve witnessed during the year

In 2021, we witnessed a lot of things, be it either the unfavourable COVID or the new and exciting tech and automobile products from various brands/companies. That said, we announced #TheUnbiasedAwards2021 in January where we opened public voting for the users, in such a manner that they have a say in deciding the winners, along with India’s finest tech and auto journalists, content creators to decide the best products and services that came out during the past year.

We would like to congratulate each and every brand that was listed in The Unbiased Awards as everyone is a winner. It’s the competition that makes each brand do better and in the end, the consumer is the winner. We as consumers, reviewers, and critics get to see the best of auto and tech each year because of this rivalry and challenges.

So once again congratulations to one and all and we hope you surprise us in 2022!

The voting closed on Feb 28, and since then the Jury was casting their votes in order to crown a winner for each category. We have announced the winners on Twitter for The Unbiased Awards 2021.
