CARS24 acquires Team-BHP

CARS24 has acquired Team-BHP, a major automotive community platform in India. The move aims to improve digital infrastructure and enhance automotive decision-making for users. 

Team-BHP will continue to operate under its founding team with its current policies, including no sponsored content and community-based moderation, the company said in a press release.

Founded in 2004, Team-BHP provides user-driven reviews, ownership reports, and vehicle insights. CARS24 will focus on integrating technology, product upgrades, and AI tools into Team-BHP without altering its core operations.

Vikram Chopra, CEO of CARS24, stated that the partnership will support better data use and expand platform capabilities. Rush Parekh, founder of Team-BHP, emphasized the platform's continued independence while leveraging new resources for growth.

The companies will work together to enhance features for users involved in vehicle buying, selling, and ownership. 

Cars24, which is backed Alpha Wave, SoftBank, Tencent, and DST Global, claims to have sold 200,000 cars in fiscal year ending in March 2024 or FY24. During the period, its gross revenue grew to Rs 6,917 crore from Rs 5,530 crore in the previous fiscal year.
