Auto Parts Startup Garaaz Raises Rs 4.55 Cr from GVFL to Expand Nationwide

Garaaz, an automobile spare parts aggregator based in Jaipur, has raised ₹4.55 crore in a seed round led by GVFL. Founded in 2019 by Shaleen Agarwal (CEO & Founder), along with Sahil Rally (CTO) and Varun Agarwal (COO), Garaaz operates as a SaaS-based solution connecting workshops to distributors of automobile spare parts and enabling streamlined sourcing and supply chain management.
The company plans to use the funds to scale operations in other states, strengthen local distribution, partnerships, and on-ground teams, invest in technological innovation (R&D), and hire key talent across technology, sales, marketing, and operations. Garaaz also plans to set up scalable customer support infrastructure and bring the unorganised workshops under their umbrella.

The current capital raise will also enable Garaaz’s goal of becoming India’s leading digital ecosystem and most comprehensive online hub for automotive spare parts, seamlessly connecting stakeholders across platforms on a trusted and transparent platform.

The key areas of expansion and funding plans include: technology development to enhance product and platform features; building robust backend systems and data infrastructure; investing in AI/ML for automation and decision intelligence to deliver a superior customer experience; streamlining procurement and logistics for better unit economics; investing in tools and systems to ensure last-mile delivery efficiency; and ensuring data security, legal compliance, and scalable backend architecture to build trust and deliver quality products to customers. Garaaz is bringing much-needed structure, efficiency, and clarity to a traditionally unorganized and unregulated market.

Mihir Joshi, Managing Director, GVFL, said, “India has come a long way in terms of online markets. Today, we can buy EV motorcycles on E-commerce platforms. However, the spare parts ecosystem for the auto industry is highly fragmented, with thousands of small distributors, middlemen, and local suppliers leading to inefficiencies and a lack of standardization, making it highly unreliable.

"Garaaz is addressing the issue by connecting key stakeholders—brands, distributors/retailers, and workshops—while fostering trust and transparency in a traditionally unorganized and complex market.”

Founded with the aim to bring together multi-brand garages that can seamlessly discover, compare, and purchase from a catalog of over 8 million parts spanning 25 leading car brands, Garaaz has doubled its sales in FY 24–25 compared to FY 23–24 and has grown 3X in the last two years.


The platform offers features such as parts discovery, inventory lookup, orders & schemes, account management, orders & CBO, sales & schemes, branch management, and workshop management to distributors, OEMs, resellers, as well as manufacturers.

Shaleen Agarwal, CEO & Founder, Garaaz, said, “At Garaaz, we’re not just delivering spare parts — we’re powering the heart of India’s workshop economy. Every order, every delivery, every connection is backed by a tech backbone that scales trust, transparency, and efficiency across the aftermarket. Our mission is simple: make spare parts accessible, intelligent, and instant — with technology so seamless, it feels invisible.”

India’s automotive aftermarket sector is projected to grow from $10 billion in 2023 to $14 billion by 2028, presenting significant opportunities for companies like Garaaz to scale operations. This expansive market allows Garaaz to digitize and organize the fragmented workshop ecosystem, enabling seamless access to genuine parts and fostering efficiency across the value chain. - TWL Bureau
