India 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.

Car lovers exhibited a keen interest in pumpumpum’s used-car lease system.
