Separator
Tarun Lawadia & Sameer Kalra,   Co-FoundersIndia is a fast-developing economy with growing incomes and a rising standard of living. Owning a car is no more a privilege of the rich. New cars, with improved features, are being introduced at regular intervals but purchase/lease processes are still cumbersome, and possessing a pre-owned car requires skill and knowledge. Car rentals and subscription schemes of OEMs are not very popular because of the inherent drawbacks. To simplify the process and assist every aspirant in possessing a car, PumPumPum pioneered the customer centric concept of leasing and subscribing used cars in India.

Established in 2018, and headquartered in Gurugram, PumPumPum is a used car leasing company with a difference. Tarun Lawadia and Sameer Kalra are the co-founders and key personnel of the company.

The car leasing business was lowkey, and largely restricted to new cars, and only large corporates till PumPumPum came on the scene. It was mostly restricted to B2B business with the number of leases being sparse. PumPumPum extended their used car offering to B2B and to B2C clientele, while providing a much needed face-lift to the unorganized, used car segment, making it more structured and trustworthy. Car lovers exhibited a keen interest in pumpumpum’s used-car lease system.
