Commenting on the step, Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder and CEO Droom said, “We are super excited about the acquisition of Xeraphin. At Droom we have spent the last five and a half years building not only the most advanced transactional platform and tools online for the automobile industry but also the entire 21st-century digital ecosystem with pricing, certification, financial services. Two years back it was clear that we could leverage our strength in massive data we had created, pricing engine, used vehicle certification, vehicle historical records, and auto dealer’s transactional history to build the most advanced marketplace for lending for used vehicles. Xeraphin Finvest’s acquisition will further bolster our capabilities in offering loans at a larger scale, ensuring maximum convenience and minimum hassles for our primary stakeholders, thereby building the narrative of success for Droom further.”
