If the "check engine" light is on it would be a good idea to check what codes are present. If you have an AC code that will lead you in the right direction.
Even if there are no AC related codes the vehicle may disable the AC for unrelated codes. This is done to encourage the owner to repair a system some people would otherwise ignore. This is becoming more prevalent in newer vehicles.
If the AC works but just blows slightly cool air then it's likely low on refrigerant. The system will need to be leak checked and topped up. There may be a trouble code stored without the check engine light illuminated since the AC system is technically non-essential.
AC repairs are a real challenge for a novice so you will likely need to take it in for repairs.

- Check the thermostat settings.
- Inspect the air filter for dirt and clogs.
- Ensure the circuit breaker is on.
- Examine the outdoor unit for debris or obstructions.
- Listen for unusual noises.
- Check for refrigerant leaks or low levels.
- Test airflow from vents.
- If issues persist, contact a professional HVAC technician for a thorough diagnosis and repair to prevent further damage or inefficiency.
And that information is similar to AC Care Pune.

In a newer car like that, it is best to get a code scanner and see what codes are stored for your A/C. Then you can begin trouble shooting.

Here are the basic AC troubleshooting steps:
Check thermostat – Make sure it's set to "Cool" and temperature is below room temp
Check air filter – Replace if dirty, it blocks airflow
Check circuit breaker – Reset if tripped
Check vents – Make sure all vents are open and unblocked
Check drain line – Clear if clogged, it can shut the system down
Listen for unusual sounds – Banging or grinding means a mechanical issue
If none of these work, it's best to call a professional technician.
