“There is still a huge gap in the organized used car market if we look at current C2B and B2C business models as most of the time deals don’t happen even after the auction because there was no real inventory. With the help of technology, we are aiming to organize the used car market to do more transparent transactions of cars between dealers and brokers. Okshan will bring transparency in their existing used cars business and the stakeholders can keep an eye on this hidden gem,” Ranjeev Dahuja, Founder and CEO, Okshan, said.
