About Cars24
A rickety Ambassador or a shining new Porsche, a JK or a TN registration plate, an accidental car
or one which wouldn't start, none of it matters because we buy any car at the best price . We
have a simple solution to the most complex problem that a car owner faces - selling his/ her car
- and our solution is deeply rooted in technology which is why it works.
Execution is our game and we are killing it! At present, we trade a couple thousand cars every
month, making us by far the most significant and largest player in the used car industry. Guess
what? We are the fastest growing young business out of India in the last one and a half year -
all of it while still being in stealth mode! With 46 branches across 9 major cities in India, we are
scaling up rapidly and are on the road to profitability. If you want to work with a business that
has the potential to be one of the largest tech companies to emerge out of India, talk to us. We
are looking for talented individuals who are excited about working long term, in building a
valuable business. We want folks who value building things from the ground up.
About the team
Our captains are Vikram Chopra ( Wharton, IIT Bombay, Sequoia Capital, McKinsey ) and Mehul
Agrawal ( BCG, IIM Calcutta, Forbes 2016 Asia 30-under-30, Forbes 2015 India 30-under-30 ).
Both of them had earlier founded FabFurnish.com. The rest of our team are driven, passionate
individuals who possess excellent credentials, and have come together at CARS24.com to do
the most phenomenal work of their lives.
As folks at CARS24.com say,
'No one wants to tell their grandchildren that they missed out on this one.'
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. So far
we have auctioned 1.5 lakh cars. 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?
Honestly, we don't know! We understand the problem of used cars in India and we have a
solution that works. It is proving itself day in and day out and we are seeing crazy success. If
innovation excites you without caring about precedents, talk to us.
How about funding?
The truth is that unlike most startups, we are already making enough money to cover our costs
easily. So, we don't think we will need hundreds of millions, as we have a very viable business
model that is scaling fast. However, some of the strongest VCs are our investors, because we
are out there to win and we have a formidable strategy in every aspect.
Why is the business in stealth mode?
It gives us the focus to solve problems. It is important to preserve the special business that we are building.
