Bengaluru-based Pitstop, a startup which provides aftersales car service, has announced that it has raised $1 million in pre-Series A funding round from Blume Ventures and Singapore-based Goldbell Group.
The round also saw participation from angel investors Anurag Srivastava, Shailesh Rao, Amiya Pathak, Rajesh Yohanan and Rahul Garg.
Pitstop will utilize the fresh funds to boost its technology platform, provide doorstep services and invest in adding more vehicles, The Economic Times reported, citing the company’s co-founder Mihir Mohan Mishra. The startup was founded in 2015 by Mihir Mohan and Nirant Ramakuru.
