CredR is planning to expand to over 100 Showrooms by 2023.

Sasidhar Nandigam, Chief Strategy Officer- CredR said, "There is a 400 per cent surge in demand for used two-wheelers as this pandemic has reinforced the need for a personal vehicle. In FY20, there were 1.3 used two-wheeler transactions for every new two-wheeler transaction. We see this number going well above 1.7 times in the current year as people prefer personal mobility at a lower cost. Our Gold Standard used two-wheelers are aimed at providing economical, value-driven personal mobility solutions to people in the most transparent and hassle free manner."

All models undergo a thorough evaluation process with checks on over 120 quality checkpoints where ownership, challan history, odometer reading, accidental history, age of the two-wheeler along with general condition of the two-wheeler is taken care of. As far as investors are concerned, the company is backed by marquee blue-chip funds such as Stride Ventures, Eight Road Ventures (Fidelity's proprietary investment arm), Omidyar Network India, AngelList, K Ganesh (GrowthStory) and presently in the process of raising another round.
