In November 2021, used car marketplace Spinny announced a $283 million fundraise in a Series E round co-led by Abu Dhabi based ADQ and returning investor, Tiger Global and Avenir Growth. Other investors in the round include Feroze Dewan’s, Arena Holdings and Think Investments.
The round takes the total capital raised by Spinny to $530 million, valuing the company at nearly $1.8 billion.
Spinny was founded in 2015 by Niraj Singh, Mohit Gupta, and Ramanshu Mahaur, and had acquired customer-to-customer used car marketplace Truebil in August 2020.
“We set afoot to build Spinny with a customer-first approach – solving for lack of trust in car buying and selling experience, with a highly personalised and detail-oriented approach. Leveraging technology, our focus is to further strengthen our quality and experience control capabilities,” Niraj said.
