“The merger of Revv aligns with CarDekho Group’s overarching strategy of placing technology at the heart of its operations, aiming to create a complete automobile ecosystem for a seamless customer experience,” the company said in a statement.
The CarDekho Group, known for brands like CarDekho, BikeDekho, Gaadi.com, Zigwheels, PowerDrift, InsuranceDekho, and Rupyy, will now integrate Revv’s shared mobility services into its portfolio.
