Two-wheeler for a bachelor and 4-wheeler for a family is not a convenience but a necessity. However, only about 8% of Indian households (approximately 1 in 12) own cars.

The company strategically positions itself to tap into the significant $6 billion Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM) for pre-owned car leasing in the country. PumPumPum’s commitment to nationwide coverage aligns with its goal of providing innovative and convenient pre-owned car leasing solutions to a wide spectrum of customers, establishing itself as a key player in the Indian automotive market, according to the statement.
