The problem

Procurement is the slowest part of every repair job

A multi-brand workshop can't just stock one brand. It needs Maruti, Hyundai, Tata, Mahindra, Toyota and Kia parts on the same day — from a supply chain that was never built to answer that fast.

Multiple Calls
To multiple OEM suppliers & distributors
Per single repair, a mechanic works the phone across multiple specialised OEM suppliers, distributors, wholesalers and traders before finding the part.
15%
Fitment mismatches
The industry-average return-to-origin rate — parts ordered on guesswork, shipped, and sent right back.
0%
Isolated data silos
Live stock visibility for independent mechanics — every distributor's catalog sits in its own disconnected system.
100%
Capital constraints
Garages run entirely on cash or informal credit loops, with no structured working-capital support for slow months.
The opportunity

A fragmented $10–17B market, with 250,000+ workshops still sourcing by phone

India's on-road vehicle base is heading from roughly 333 million today to about 430 million by 2030. Every one of those vehicles eventually needs a spare part — and most of that demand runs through a supply chain with almost no digital layer.

Industry estimates

Six brands cover the market

Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata, Mahindra, Toyota and Kia alone account for the overwhelming majority of passenger vehicles on Indian roads. That's a tractable brand set for Proupi to integrate deeply first — full fitment data, full catalog coverage — rather than trying to boil the ocean across every OEM on day one.

Independent workshops already do the work

Once a car is out of warranty, most owners never go back to a dealer workshop — they go to the local multi-brand garage down the road, because it's faster, cheaper and closer. That garage is Proupi's core customer: high repair volume, six-brand parts demand, and no digital sourcing tool built for how it actually operates.

Four tailwinds

India's auto component sector is entering a supercycle

Four converging trends are pulling component demand ahead of the broader auto market — and pushing every supplier in the chain toward AI-native distribution.

Electrification

EV bills-of-material run roughly 1.4x higher than ICE — new demand pools in batteries, e-motors and power electronics.

Smartification

Electrical and electronic content in passenger vehicles could triple over the next decade as ADAS and connected features scale.

Policy & PLI

A $3.2B production-linked incentive outlay is localising high-value component manufacturing and lifting export competitiveness.

Premiumisation

Mid-market and premium SUV share rises from roughly 50% to 65% by FY2030, pulling demand toward higher-margin parts.

McKinsey names "pervasive AI integration across the value chain" as one of six capabilities suppliers need to win this cycle — procurement is exactly where Proupi starts. 92% of component companies remain promoter-driven, and 38% of promoters are over 55, a generational handoff that favours digital-first distribution partners.

The platform

Proupi — the unified platform interface for spares procurement

One AI-powered backbone in place of five disconnected phone calls: order, connect, supply and grow, built for the way multi-brand workshops actually work.

ORDER
For retailers

Search once, order in seconds

Natural-language part search with AI fitment-matching against VIN and model data, so the wrong part never leaves the shelf.

CONNECT
For workshops

One line into every supplier

A single interface routes each order to the distributor, wholesaler or trader actually holding live stock — no more cold calls.

SUPPLY
For distributors

Real-time catalog and stock

Distributors plug their inventory into a shared stock graph, turning idle catalog into discoverable, sellable demand.

GROW
For every network

Working capital, built in

Embedded credit and payment terms replace informal cash loops, so growth isn't capped by a garage's cash on hand.

Why AI, specifically

Every problem on the last slide maps to one AI capability

Proupi isn't a marketplace bolted onto a chat app — the fitment engine, demand-routing and pricing logic are the product. Each core problem gets solved by a specific, purpose-built model rather than a generic search bar.

  • Fitment-matching model — cross-references VIN, variant and OEM part number to cut return-to-origin rates.
  • Live inventory graph — unifies stock across distributors, wholesalers and traders into one searchable index.
  • Demand-routing engine — sends every order to the nearest, cheapest, in-stock source automatically.
  • Credit-scoring layer — uses order history to underwrite working-capital lines for workshops.
The model

Built on convenience and time saved — not fees extracted

Every party in this supply chain is short on the same thing: time. Proupi's model is built around giving that back — to workshops, distributors and retailers alike — and letting the network's own convenience do the rest.

Workshops

Minutes, not hours

What used to take five calls and forty-five minutes now takes one search — part found, fitment verified, order placed, before the chai gets cold.

Distributors

Idle stock becomes working stock

Catalog that used to wait for a phone call to be discovered now surfaces itself to every workshop searching for it, the moment it's needed.

Retailers & OEM networks

One inbox, not five phone lines

Every order arrives structured, verified and ready to fulfil — no more chasing part numbers over a crackling call.

The network

It gets faster the more it's used

Every order teaches the matching engine something new. The 10th workshop on Proupi sources faster than the 1st — and the 1,000th faster still.

How this convenience compounds into a business is the part we'd rather show you than write on a page.

We're building the AI layer that makes all of this possible — live fitment-matching, real-time stock graphs, and a lot more still in the workshop. Ask us and we'll walk you through exactly how it works.

For investors

Raising our seed round to build India's AI procurement backbone

Proupi is pre-launch — building the AI layer that finally connects India's fragmented spares supply chain: fitment-matching, live inventory and embedded credit, inside a market moving toward $16B+ by 2030.

Where the round goes

  • AI fitment & matching engine — from prototype to production-grade accuracy across all 6 priority OEM brands.
  • Distributor & wholesaler integrations — building the live inventory graph, city by city.
  • Workshop go-to-market — onboarding the pre-registered network across priority metros.
  • Embedded credit partnerships — underwriting infrastructure for workshop working-capital lines.
Stage: Pre-seed / Seed

Building where the market is moving — a $4.01B serviceable slice of an aftermarket headed past $16B by 2030.

We're speaking with a small group of investors who understand fragmented B2B distribution and India's aftermarket. If that's you, we'd like to talk.
