Garaaz, a digital aggregator for automotive spare parts, has raised ₹4.55 crore in a seed funding round led by venture capital firm GVFL. The investment will support the company’s efforts to expand into new regions, build local distribution channels, strengthen ground operations, enhance its tech platform, and recruit talent across departments such as engineering, sales, marketing, and operations.
The company also plans to scale its customer support systems and integrate small, independent auto workshops into a more organized digital network. A significant portion of the funding will go toward platform development, automation tools, backend infrastructure, and artificial intelligence applications designed to optimize procurement, logistics, and customer service.
Garaaz’s long-term goal is to become a leading digital ecosystem for automotive spare parts in India, connecting manufacturers, distributors, resellers, and workshops through a transparent, technology-driven platform. The company aims to bring structure and standardization to a sector often marked by inefficiency and fragmentation.
Mihir Joshi, Managing Director of GVFL, commented on the investment, stating, “While online platforms in India have made significant strides, the auto parts sector remains deeply fragmented. Garaaz is solving a critical problem by bridging the gap between manufacturers, distributors, and workshops, all while increasing transparency and reliability.”
Founded in 2019 by Shaleen Agarwal, Garaaz provides a SaaS-based solution that allows multi-brand auto repair shops to discover, compare, and order from a catalog of over 8 million parts across 25 car brands. Over the past two years, the company has tripled its growth and doubled its sales year-on-year in FY 2024–25. Features offered include real-time inventory search, order tracking, account management, and integrated workshop tools for both suppliers and service providers.
“Our focus isn’t just on delivering spare parts,” said Shaleen Agarwal, CEO and Founder of Garaaz. “We’re building a tech-driven foundation that powers India’s vast workshop network—ensuring access to reliable parts through intelligent, seamless technology that simplifies the entire value chain.” India’s auto aftermarket is estimated to grow from $10 billion in 2023 to $14 billion by 2028, offering substantial opportunities for digital platforms like Garaaz to streamline procurement and enhance efficiency in an otherwise unorganized segment.
Headquartered in Jaipur, Garaaz is a B2B platform connecting automotive spare parts distributors with workshops across India. Founded by Shaleen Agarwal (CEO), Sahil Rally (CTO), and Varun Agarwal (COO), the company operates as a software-as-a-service provider, offering sourcing, supply chain tools, and digital support to facilitate the buying and selling of genuine car parts.
