What kept us relevant in the automobile industry amidst the slowdown is the unique business model of new and used car ecosystem. Our newly launched venture InsuranceDekho is making strong headway thanks to the ecosystem, paving the way for another success story for us.  We continue to progress rapidly, which is evident in the impressive 92% revenue growth in the first half of the year and we look forward to a much stronger H2 as well.”
