The Indian automobile aftermarket is massive, messy, and notoriously fragmented. But one startup says it has the solution — and investors are betting on it. AutoDukan, an AI-driven automobile aftermarket platform, has raised $1 million in pre-Series A funding to fix everything from spare part procurement to insurance claim workflows.
The round was led by Choice Group and select HNIs, with continued support from MetroMax Group’s Indian arm and investor Ankit Sajnani.
This fresh capital will power AutoDukan’s expansion into key automotive regions, boost its AI technology, and deepen its partnerships with insurers, fleet operators, and OEM suppliers.
India’s automobile aftermarket — worth billions — is a goldmine but riddled with inefficiencies. Spare parts are tough to source, insurance claims are slow and complicated, and multi-brand workshops often lack seamless supply chains.
AutoDukan says it’s changing that.
The startup isn’t just digitizing the industry; it’s building what co-founder and CEO Gunjan Ruparelia calls an “intelligent backbone for the automotive repair and insurance ecosystem.”
Here’s what that looks like:
India has over 300 million vehicles on the road, and the aftermarket for parts and repairs is expected to grow rapidly as cars get older. Yet most of the sector still runs on manual processes.
If AutoDukan can streamline this with AI, it could become the go-to platform for everything from spare parts to claims — essentially becoming the backbone of India’s car repair economy.
With its fresh funding, AutoDukan will:
The company’s bet is clear: the future of India’s automobile aftermarket won’t just be digital — it will be intelligent.
