Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has joined pre-owned car retailing platform as a strategic investor and lead brand endorser, the company said in a release on Tuesday.
Spinny, however, did not disclose the amount of investment by Tendulkar in the company.
Spinny recently became a Unicorn with the closing of a $283 million Series E round of funding, which took the total capital raised by the platform to more than $530 million, giving it a valuation of $1.8 billion.
Spinny has partnered with Indian sporting legend Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin is a strategic investor in the company, as well as lead brand endorser, the company said in a release.
