CEO and Co-founder Saurabh Tripathi expressed excitement about Drivio's future prospects, stating, "The Indian two-wheeler lending market is poised for significant growth, from its current levels of USD 10 billion to at least 3x over the next 5 years. Around USD 25 billion of financing will be required to support this growth. Drivio is dedicated to leveraging technology to revolutionize automotive lending, addressing critical pain points for dealers, lenders, and customers."

With this new round of funding, Drivio will be able to grow its presence in tier 2 and tier 3 cities and promote more technological and product innovation. In order to improve its services and better cater to its expanding clientele, the business intends to create more intricate partnerships with a wider range of lenders.

Niyaz Laiq, Partner at GSF, stated, “We are thrilled to invest in Drivio, as Saurabh, Ankur and Arvind build out India’s pre-eminent two-wheeler financing platform. From our first meeting, we were struck by the founders’ decades of experience across the motor vehicle space. Drivio’s platform is a win-win for the entire two-wheeler ecosystem: democratizing access to finance for consumers across small towns who may not traditionally get a loan, consistently driving up revenue growth for its dealer network, and providing lenders on-ground presence across India's small and medium dealers."
