Goyal said, “Our technology is under development. Our consumer app is in the beta stage. The automotive aftermarket in India is worth $15 billion, largely unorganized. Along with technology adoption, the recent demonetisation move and implementation of GST will help in making a shift from unorganized to organized which will be good for the consumers and the industry.”
