"Founded by Tapas P Gupta and Arijit A Chakraborty, the SparesHub team currently comprises 27 employees. It solves the problem of the unavailability of, and over-expensive, automobile parts which result in a significant loss of time, money, and efforts for car owners in India," said the IAN in a press statement.  

Since its inception, SparesHub has been working to disintermediate and digitize the automobile parts industry in India. To this end, it is introducing modern supply chain and logistics methodologies in the industry, and caters to B2B customers. 

"SparesHub works with India’s leading car companies and part manufacturers to make OEM and OES parts available to its customers (multi-brand service centres, service aggregators, fleet owners and insurance companies). Existing investor Holomua Group Inc, also participated in the investment round," it said.

Tapas Gupta – CEO of SparesHub, said that the company aims to create a whole new level of customer delight by leveraging technology. 

"SparesHub is challenging the traditional methodologies and bringing in global best practices in the automobile parts supply chain and logistics domain," he said.
