CARS24-Building

CARS24 is now a Unicorn startup! Being India's leading online transaction platform for pre-owned vehicles, we raised over a $200 million Series E funding round led by DST Global with participation from existing investors, including Exor Seeds, Moore Strategic Ventures, and Unbound, a valuation of over $1 billion. This funding will be used to invest aggressively in technology & product innovation and scale new business verticals. With annual transactions exceeding 2,00,000 units and a 4X increase in website engagement, the company has already surpassed pre-COVID levels.
