Automoto Launches Inspekt AI to Build India’s Buyer-First Trust Layer in the USD 36bn Used-Car Market

Bengaluru, India — 02 December 2025 : Automoto, the Bengaluru -based mobility startup focused on
customer-first innovation, today announced the launch of Inspekt AI,
an AI-powered, buyer-centric vehicle inspection platform designed to bring
transparency, trust, and intelligence to India’s rapidly growing used-car
ecosystem.

India’s used-car market, valued at over USD 36
billion 
and projected to exceed USD 70–100 billion in
the coming years, now outsells new cars and is expanding at well over double-digit
CAGR
. Yet, despite this momentum, buyers continue to face significant trust
gaps ranging from incomplete vehicle history to unclear mechanical condition
and inconsistent inspection standards.

While large players like Spinny and Cars24 have
streamlined seller operations, the buyer’s side of the transaction
remains underserved
. Inspekt AI was built specifically to solve this.

InspektAI: A New Standard for Buyer Protection

Inspekt AI combines AI-assisted diagnostics with
expert inspections to provide buyers with unbiased, platform-agnostic
vehicle assessments
, regardless of where they are purchasing marketplaces,
dealers, or individual sellers.

Key capabilities include:

 

  • AI-augmented
    damage and anomaly detection

  • Deep
    mechanical & structural health reports

  • Easy-to-understand
    risk summaries and purchase recommendations

  • Completely
    independent, non-inventory model ensuring zero conflict of interest

“From day one, Automoto was built to eliminate
customer compromise,” said Sreeraj PV, Founder & CEO of Automoto. “With
Inspekt AI, we’re bringing a neutral, AI-backed trust layer to the buyer
something the market has needed for years. Our goal is simple: empower buyers
with clarity, confidence, and control.”

Launch & Roadmap

Inspekt AI is now live for bookings in
Bengaluru
, with plans to expand to major metros in the coming quarters.
Automoto is also exploring partnerships with banks, NBFCs, insurers,
and mobility platforms 
to integrate Inspekt AI as an underwriting and
risk-assessment layer.
