What they do

Nissan Motor India and Spinny launched an exchange scheme promising to value and take an old car within 55 minutes

It runs at Nissan dealers in 30 cities and on Spinny’s app, across all current Nissan models

Spinny staff do the checks at the dealership, and buyers do not need to transfer the car’s RC papers first

Spinny buys, checks and resells used cars online and through its own car hubs.
Almost all revenue (about 98%) comes from selling cars; the rest from commissions, services and ads.
It also runs car loans, the GoMechanic servicing business and the Autocar India titles.

Product: A platform that helps consumers buy, sell, and exchange used cars.
Customers: Individual car buyers and sellers, plus dealers and OEM partners.
How it makes money: It earns from car sale margins, exchange activity, and related services such as financing and warranties.
What sets it apart: Certified inspection and a managed, end-to-end transaction experience.
Operations: Operates an inventory-backed and platform-assisted used-car retail network.
