Offering several popular bike makes and models such as Bajaj Pulsar, Honda Active, Hero Passion, Hero Splendor, and Yamaha FZ, Droom’s Bike Mela was a big hit with 78 bikes sold within seven hours.
“We have conducted two Bike Melas this month to an extremely positive response. With nearly 45 percent of our aggregate business coming from bikes and the two-wheeler segment, we are looking to continue with this initiative to attract more buyers and sellers to our selection-based, pricing-led platform”, said Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder & CEO of Droom. “With the latest Bike Mela, we have built upon the trust factor our disruptive mobile-first model offers within the Indian online automobile market and increased our service outlay,” he further added.
