Cars24, an auto marketplace, has secured INR 250 Cr ($29.8 Mn) in funding from its Singapore-based parent company, Global Car Group Limited.
The financing is closely followed by Cars24's expansion into new segments to help increase its revenue. For example, in March, the car marketplace initiated a pilot program to enable car proprietors to employ drivers on an hourly basis in demand.
Cars24 also signed a letter of intent to join the state-backed Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) in May of this year. These new offerings may be fuelled by the new capital.
