Key Points
- Speedioo raises ₹10 crore seed funding led by Atomic Capital in first institutional round
- Company achieved ₹30 crore GMV with over 4,000 vehicles sold while staying profitable
- India's used two-wheeler market estimated at $28 billion with over 95 per cent unorganised
Speedioo, a Pune-based used two-wheeler platform, has raised ₹10 crore in seed funding led by Atomic Capital, marking the company’s first institutional investment round. The capital will be deployed to build an artificial intelligence-driven technology stack, expand distribution across key demand centres and scale the company’s dealer and retail network.
The company, which operates a platform for buying and selling pre-owned motorcycles and scooters, has crossed ₹30 crore in gross merchandise value — the total value of goods sold through the platform — and sold over 4,000 vehicles in the past 12 months.
Speedioo claims to have achieved more than five times growth in topline revenue during this period while remaining profitable at the EBITDA level, a measure of operating profitability before accounting for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation.
Founded by Sagar Potphode and Ajit Deshmukh, both former senior executives at CredR and Rentomojo, Speedioo plans to expand its presence to three or four additional cities and grow its retail footprint through a franchise model. The company currently works with over 200 dealer partners across Bengaluru, Mumbai and Pune.
AI-enabled platform for procurement and pricing
The startup intends to integrate its entire value chain through an AI-enabled platform that will handle core processes including vehicle procurement, price discovery, condition assessment and final selling price determination. As part of its expansion strategy, Speedioo also plans to strengthen its senior leadership team.
“At Speedioo, we are building much more than a used two-wheeler company. We are building a trusted and sustainable consumer brand for the next billion Indians aspiring to own personal mobility,” said Sagar Potphode, co-founder and CEO, Speedioo. “For a large part of India, a two-wheeler is not just a vehicle. It is access to livelihood, independence and opportunity.”
Potphode added that while tier 1 markets remain important, the company sees greater long-term opportunity in tier 2, 3 and 4 India, where accessibility and affordability are more critical considerations for buyers.
India’s used two-wheeler market is estimated at approximately $28 billion, roughly 1.5 times the volume of the new two-wheeler market. Despite this scale, the sector remains over 95 per cent unorganised, with no dominant consumer brand having emerged. Recent exits and consolidation among well-funded competitors have created an opening for capital-efficient operators to establish themselves in the category.
“We are excited about the megatrends shaping India’s used two-wheeler category,” said Apoorv Gautam, founder and managing partner, Atomic Capital. “Despite the scale of the opportunity, there is no clear winner today, no ‘Spinny for bikes’, and the rapid electrification of two-whelers opens up an entirely new whitespace for organised, tech-led players.”
Gautam noted that Speedioo’s bootstrapped and capital-efficient approach aligned with Atomic Capital’s investment philosophy of building sustainable businesses rather than pursuing growth through heavy capital deployment.
Speedioo expansion roadmap
Speedioo has set a target of crossing ₹100 crore in annual recurring revenue — the predictable revenue a company expects to generate each year — within the next 12 to 18 months. The company’s growth strategy rests on three pillars: supply diversification, demand expansion and channel development.
On the supply side, Speedioo plans to diversify its vehicle acquisition channels across interstate and intracity markets while pursuing partnerships with electric vehicle manufacturers for exchange programmes. The company sees significant opportunity in the emerging EV resale segment, where organised players remain scarce.

The startup has observed increasing demand for premium models among its customers, reflecting what the company describes as premiumisation trends within the second-hand vehicle category. Speedioo aims to grow its dealer network tenfold over the coming year while introducing financing and warranty products to complement its core vehicle sales business.
