In which world they buy at 5 lakh and sell for 5.5 😂😂😂 When I wanted to sell my 2006 pulsar in very good condition rarely used with Odometer 38k around I was quoted 3k and when I tried to buy same condition bike after a week I was quoted not less than 35k 😂😂 Same thing happens with cars. Shutting down is just a way to show losses and eating away investers money.
2006-2021 15 years you will get scrap value of 3k to 4k max, no matter how good condition it is in , had you sold it in 2016 you would have got 25k probably if in good condition according to buyer
I went to sell my i10 to their outlet because I thought selling to them would be easy They will check your car through some 40 checks and the would also use a device to measure the paint thickness of every panel to find out repainted panel. Then they will offer you absolutely low prices and sell it on their platform via auction at very high prices. They offered me a mere 90k for my i10 because my side mirrors were not original and rear bumper was repainted, and 2 days later I sold it to someone else for 2.2 L. The truth is that no one is willing to sell their cars to them. Just that's it!

No. Not really. They jacked up the prices of used car, drove up used car prices, now they can't sustain the model! My 2011 model car which was not going for more 2.5 lacs in 2019 is fetching 3.2 lacs in 2023, that's just how insane the price rise has been. No one is talking about this!

No, it's not. It's hard to sustain business when your greed go out of control. Those most of startup are targeted to make it's founders make rich , business survive or not.
Yes as of today all the new unicorns are loss making. They only bother about top line and bottom line is always in losses. You take Swiggy, Zomato, etc from India. All are loss making companies who get billions of dollars funding
They want profit margin very high every second hand car seller in India like cardekho and all buys a car and want to sell at 1.5 - 2 times. But second hand buyers in India prefer to directly contact seller by jugad in this both buyers and sellers are happy.

It’s called the Exit scam where the investors exit either via IPO or some other route and leave someone else holding the empty pot. Initially they’ll maximum percentage of the money for hype and brand building so that IPO gets oversubscribed maximum no of times
@@cooljunky Investor wants to take an exit once the valuation goes up, series A investor wants to fool the series B investor, the series B guy wants to fool the series C investor and this goes on until the company goes public and the retail investor gets fucked in the ass.
I don't know where they spent their 'refurbishing' budget. I know 3 people who bought cars through CarDekho and all of them were shown horribly maintained cars with rusted body panels that had been patches up using putty and paint to try and hide it. Also the interior was in bad condition as well along with some mechanical issues. To make things worse, they were being asked for exorbitant prices for cars in such bad conditions. Two of them didn't buy through the platform at the end while the third guy - who had connections and is 'known' in the area - brought down his car's price by over 1.2 lakhs before buying it off.
I think this is more of a strategic decision. Other used car marketplaces, like Olx and Cars24, have also shut down their offline businesses. The industry is changing and shifting towards a home inspection-based model.
Because it has become hard to sustain. They started offering insane prices for used car to the sellers. Then the buyers are getting a raw deal of paying even higher prices. The margin has drastically reduced and they are unable to sustain the model. They destroyed an entire industry with VC money. No one is talking about this!
Bussinessmen arent fools bro, they are smart thats y they are bussinessmen, their profit margin will be more than 20 -30 percent easily, which will cover the expenses too,5 lakh is just for public , real price only they know..
From some sources i came to know this a few weeks back. They are cleaning their existing stock from the central warehouse in Delhi. So technically you van still buy used cars from them now but they have discontinued the buying segment.
Almost every startup is bleeding money of some kind now. I can't understand what kind of planning they do, on fancy boardrooms, with high paying teams, and large investor money. I think Raju Bhai is better at planning then them.
This is the difference between Startups and well built businesses. For example, Classic and Standard automotives are 40yr old used car businesses in Bangalore that have thrived.
That's not how it works!! Do you really think they would sell it for 50k profit? They are greedy as hell, true you have to make some profit but not rip off people
But actually they're not ripping off people, they're just wasting everybody's money honestly. Olx just provides the platform and people but old stuff. They just spend extra money unnecessarily on these cars and now the buyer has to pay extra, seller gets nothing and investor loss money like hell.😂
@@pulkitkaushik exactly my point, but it's not wasting, they are making you pay extra by offering you some "mandatory" service that you never asked for, so that your new car will be in the "best" condition. While actually they aren't doing much real work or service. It's the old buy low,sell high principle. They buy a cheap car, spend some money to make it look brand new and sell at a high price.
Just because you get large funding does not mean you are a successful business. You need to generate profit not just keep raising money. Otherwise businesses will be eventually doomed.
I have said this before and saying it again....any business whose foundation is based on cash burn is not going to make any profit ever. Purane lala ko agar main bolu ki aap 100 crore kharch Karo marketing and expansion main aap ko 1000 crore ka business dunga wo bolega tu mujhe 50 crore de main Bina kharcha kiye 1000 crore ka bana dunga...

Premium cars refurbishment is even more expensive, you can't buy and refurbish luxury cars if you don't have ground level contacts in this premium car industry. the more deeper you have contacts for refurbishment the more you will earn
It's always the investors money bruh. Modern start-ups are nothing but direct benefit scheme from Modi govt where start ups just transfer investor money to their customers. Eg discounts from Amazon to Swiggy and Zomato or Paytm.
Profitable business guys buy the 5 lakh worth car at 4.25 by showing inspection report telling everything is fuckedup. They will not spend any money other than washing it. Sell the car for 5.5
If you have a big company then it's expenses are big!!! Some local sellers are selling used bikes and cars very successfully in Tamilnadu, Kerala, Karnataka etc., Because less manpower, less other costs and you do make some good profit!!!😢😮😢😮😢😮😢😮.
OLA has shut it down too.. the problem is competition in procurement. High price on procurement lead to loss.. otherwise, this business model is very traditional. Many local dealers are able to do this with good profits.
The interest payment on the loan. That's the main problem for profitability. Besides if cardekho upscaled their offline business the profits would have been substantial, initial costs seem like a burden when profit margins are slim, but capturing the market is a lot more important. Not to mention the brand image it would create with showrooms. Like Maruti has done with Nexa showrooms. The investors should sue cardekho for not fulfilling the promises made during fund raising.
Actually reselling cars new or old is not great business because inventory cost is very high and margins are very low..until you have car service in the back which will bring steady cash flow with good margins
All startups in India are disrupting brick and mortar businesses and by the time they are done small businesses are vanishing in metro cities and people will be left with little to no choice but to biy products only from few giants and the rest small traders and retailers will be left with no choice but to do jobs in some company
The whole startup funding thing is a big scam. They just raise money from vc. Take huge salaries. And wait till the company goes bankrupt. So they can start a new venture.
Thats a good news for buyers. Now what happens is the used car dealers have hyped the price so much that no used car gives good value at all. True value etc are prime examples. Used car prices are really high. New car seems more attractive.
Even they tried to expand without profit, first they have to check whether, staff are paid well, underpaying them and investing in expansion, indirectly affect business
they got places in malls that is where they made mistake you dont get that much profit no matter howmuch you pump prices. thoes in the buisness are on illigal land so no investment in land just park the car.
They can follow the decathlon strategy, open a space somewhere far from the city, keep cars for showcase and use those cars for marketing, with offline presence gone touch and fees aspect will be gone and they might have to shut their business fully.
The shutdown was very shocking and uncalled for as well... While spending hefty amount on setting up new offices and hire new people...the management should have evaluated first than ending up laying off thousands.... I know this so very well because I myself is an ex employee of Cardekho and was layed off 😢... It's pathetic and disappointing.
Exactly, if they don't sell the car within less time, then the cost of the car would increase automatically and lead to loss. So I think, it is better to do it online and only to those customers who are ready to buy a car within a month
They could have started so e subscription model for the agents or mechanics who regularly visit or bring clients, and later discounted during billing. Some strategy like this. This seems negligible but trust me this model is earning crores!!
They charge freaking money to show seller details, show car inspection report. And that too for individual details and individual cars. Of course, nobody would be paying just to see.
Real reason is being the middleman, the company tried to scam both seller(by giving low purchase price) and the purchasure(by quoting ridiculous high price)
Car prices are increasing significantly every year now and with that unemployment in this country also . Rbi itself inform that peoples saving has decreased in this country never like this in 30 or 50 years . So if people dont have money it affects multiple buisnessses and this is one of them.
No company does a business model the way you suggested... For a 50k margin he wouldn't even get into thes business. They buy the car for 2-3 lakhs and sell it for 7-9 Lakhs depends on model year etc... I tried selling my car(swift - 2012) for which I received a quote for 2 lakhs, I check Car dekho for similar model, it was on sale for 4-5 Lakhs that too it had more kms on the odometer than mine.
Actually people are not interested in selling their cars to them, coz they are not paying the right amount। Many local garage pay their customer a great deal as their margin is quite low from both buyer and seller! In short if you can cut the middleman (like car dekho) both the buyer and seller will gain!
Simple theory that I formed after some observations, unless you make/manufacture something , making a sustainable business is not going to happen. Just providing some service over internet ( food delivery , grocery delivery) by throwing convenience to customer as bait is not going to take you far. That is primarily the reason why many "unicorns" are making huge looses in reality even though they have been around for quite a lot of time.
Its good that these offline car dealers are now forced to shut down. They have inflated the prices of the second hand car market all these years and have exploited the customers to make huge profits. Now that bubble is about to burst, soon 2nd hand car prices are going to crash. So, it's good from a consumer's perspective that the market will now shift from a seller's to a buyer's market soon.
Never see them paying 5 lakh for a good used car. Neither do they agree to sell it back for just 5.5L. I think it is a demand issue, or rather pricing issues as well.

Simple theory that I formed after some observations, unless you make/manufacture something , making a sustainable business is not going to happen. Just providing some service over internet ( food delivery , grocery delivery) by throwing convenience to customer as bait is not going to take you far. That is primarily the reason why many "unicorns" are making huge looses in reality even though they have been around for quite a lot of time.
There prices are to high for any used car
every start up in india is without any cutting edge
Solution. Start Slow & continue
value addition on incremental
basis
It's not so simple like how he told. He could bought car for 4kk instead of 5kk but still would prefer to say 5kk
Its good that these offline car dealers are now forced to shut down. They have inflated the prices of the second hand car market all these years and have exploited the customers to make huge profits. Now that bubble is about to burst, soon 2nd hand car prices are going to crash. So, it's good from a consumer's perspective that the market will now shift from a seller's to a buyer's market soon.
Yet another Great valid entrepreneur....built technology and manufacturing bro not scam start-ups
why is the video 2hr long!?
They should also shut CollegeDekho. EduTech in India is worse.
Never see them paying 5 lakh for a good used car.
Neither do they agree to sell it back for just 5.5L.
I think it is a demand issue, or rather pricing issues as well.
