I admire the company and its leadership for its dynamic work culture, founding values, and strong footprint in the market. I am stoked to be part of the team to contribute to its next milestones to disrupt the car leasing market”
Post pandemic, people are opting for personal transportation over public transportation and this led to the rise in interest in used cars. PumPumPum buys used cars and then leases them forward. The company is planning to reach over 15 cities in the span of the next three years and is already recording a huge demand from metros as well as non-metro markets.
