Startup Strategy

India’s used car market is booming in 2025, with Spinny, CARS24, OLX Autos, and Droom leading the organised segment. Spinny focuses on a full-stack D2C model with quality assurance, CARS24 offers a complete car ownership ecosystem with tech-enabled services, OLX Autos leverages its classifieds dominance and large user base, and Droom targets diversification with IPO ambitions. As the market heads towards ₹5 lakh crore by 2028, the competition is shifting from just inventory to trust, transparency, and post-sale support.
