He will further help us strengthen our foothold in this highly fragmented pre-owned car market in India, which showcases an immense potential to grow,” he added further on the appointment.

“The potential for growth in the global used car space is vast and I look forward to helping the company drive this momentum forward,” Mundra added on his new role.
