We are an innovator in this space and well-positioned to use technology to make the car buying process simple, transparent, less time-consuming and trustworthy," said Raghavendra Chandrappa, CEO, MyCarAndBike.
"The Indian automobile sector is set to grow at a thrilling rate, with improved connectivity, higher incomes, easier access to financing and we are in the game at the right time by combining technology with deep automotive industry acumen. We are currently working with all the 100 plus new car dealers across Bangalore and over the last few months, a large number of customers have secured the best bargains available in the market," added Chandrappa.
"We're excited to be introducing our new brand name at an important inflection point in our company's development. I think the rebranding will paint a more accurate picture of what we do, and ultimately will enable more people to find us," said Raghurama Kote, one of the investors for MyCarAndBike.
"Most car dealers have a decent amount of room to be negotiated with, but a lot of customers are seemingly unaware of it. That's when we thought of creating a simple yet effective platform for customers to join in and enjoy a far greater bargaining power as a group. The technology platform that we have built helps negotiate the deals and discounts with the dealers across the city. These get activated once we have the minimum number of people willing to purchase a product from the same brand," added Kote.
"With the option of buying one's dream car at a steep discount, with some amazing goodies thrown in, it is only a matter of time before consumers will feel the need to shift to a smarter way to buy a car. We have seen some phenomenal response coming in from the Bangalore city which is our pilot market and we are poised to scale the operations across India," Kote further said.
