Gurugram, Haryana-based used car marketplace Spinny has reportedly acquired Truebil, another used-car marketplace from Mumbai, Maharashtra. The amount of the acquisition has not been disclosed yet.
Based on various media reports, Kalaari-backed Trubil was financially struggling and has been into discussions with various major players in the pre-owned car marketplace domain for its acquisition.
Commenting on the development, Neeraj Singh, co-founder of Spinny in a statement with Forbes India, said,
“Truebil is a natural fit for us. We will let it keep its identity,”
Spinny in a statement to Entrackr said,
“Given Spinny is still in its early days, we will let the Truebil platform keep operating as an independent brand for now. We will reassess merging within the Spinny brand umbrella after some time,”
