Spinny, the India startup redefining the used car market, has secured fresh Series F funding led by Accel Leaders Fund and WestBridge Capital, reinforcing its momentum as a full-stack platform in the automotive resale sector. This latest funding round reflects investor confidence in Spinny’s innovation-driven strategy as it continues shaping the future of India’s used car ecosystem.

Accel Leaders Fund led Spinny’s $131 million Series F round, and WestBridge Capital recently injected an additional $30.6 million. This expansion raises the total funding round to approximately $170 million. WestBridge Capital invested through Setu AIF Trust, MMPL Trust, and Konark Trust, collectively acquiring a 2.74 percent stake in Spinny.

With this deal, Spinny, the fast-scaling Indian startup, has now raised $676 million to date. The company, which became a unicorn in 2021, continues to command attention within the used car sector, where competition remains intense and capital efficiency is critical.

Spinny Strengthens Core with Smart Acquisitions and NBFC Entry

This year, Spinny advanced its ecosystem by acquiring Haymarket SAC’s leading automotive media properties in India, including Autocar India and What Car India. Furthermore, it launched its fully owned NBFC subsidiary to streamline auto financing.

These strategic moves enable Spinny to offer integrated services in the used car space, from inspection to financing, ensuring full control over quality and user experience.

For FY24, Spinny’s operating revenue rose 14 percent to INR 3,725 crore, up from INR 3,260 crore in FY23. Despite market tightening, the company reduced its losses by 28 percent to INR 590 crore by consolidating its offerings, cutting marketing costs, and laying off 300 employees. This fiscal performance reinforces its potential as a resilient Indian startup, even amid economic headwinds.

Used Car Market in India Gears Up for Accelerated Growth

India’s used car segment, now valued at $34 billion, is projected to reach $73 billion by FY28, with vehicle sales expected to double from 5.1 million to 10.9 million.

The company’s focus on full-stack operations, backed by investor faith from players like Accel Partners and WestBridge Capital, ensures it remains at the forefront of the Indian startup scene.

With robust backing from WestBridge Capital and Accel Leaders Fund, Spinny exemplifies what a forward-looking India startup can achieve in the used car market. As the company strengthens its presence through strategic acquisitions, streamlined services, and sharper financial discipline, Spinny looks primed to accelerate further in the rapidly evolving auto resale industry.
