Job Description – Coordinator Operations
The Problem
Selling a car is outright painful. Right for the very first owner of a car in 1880s, to an owner today - selling a car has been a disastrous experience. So much for all the advancements that includes autonomous and flying cars!!
Why is the problem worth solving?
First, because you and I hate how we have to sell our car. So if we can fix it, we build a REAL big business. Good news is that given we (CARS24!) already buy around 10,000 cars every month, so we know how to fix it.
Second, this gives us ‘supply’ leadership. No one has the kind of supply of used cars like we do. It makes us kind of an ‘OEM equivalent’ in used cars. Wow! But why is this wow? Because if you have supply, you can also own demand, financing and so much more. But it all starts with supply. This is how we organize a market that has been fragmented forever.
Third, auto business is not just transactions but is also, lending/ financing, servicing, insurance, data services, and so much more. So if we own supply, we can own the auto ecosystem.
So what can we create?
Nothing less than India’s largest auto company. A company that helps car owners sell their car, buy another car, get loan, get insurance, get carm repaired, and so much more.
India’s largest auto company that could be worth so many tens of billions in a market that is $100bn addressable market today!
How do we do it?
We are a tech company. This is not possible without tech. We can’t organize supply or build future solutions without tech. However, operations/ execution is also very critical.
Where are we on this journey?
We are in Phase 1 of building supply. So as you can see we are just getting started and there is so much to accomplish. That’s why it’s such an exciting journey ahead and we would love you to be part of it.
We are 3 years old. We already buy a massive 10,000 cars a month and growing 20%+ month on month. We pride not only in our talent but the fact that each of our 1500+ employees BELIEVE in what we do! As Elvis said, “Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine” If you love cars, you will get it. And if you get it, we would love to chat!

FAQs (to get you started):
How are you different from OLX, CarDekho and others?
We are nothing like classifieds. The fact that classifieds don’t work is the reason why we exist. Think about your experience or your friend’s/ relative’s experience of selling a car. Was it painful? If the answer is yes, CARS24.com is here to change that. We are a C2B business that buys cars directly from customers and offers the best price through a live online auction. With 85% of the used car market still being unorganized and we being the only organized. player, we are going for the big kill!
Do you have a US/ China equivalent?
Yes, across geographies several companies (started around similar time as us) have been building this with success. So this is a global idea. We are proud to be one of its pioneers.
