Our Team

Our team is the heart of Cariot Auto. We believe that the greater the mission, the greater the team. Our mission is to become India’s biggest online marketplace for used cars. Making this possible is a lot more than just selling cars or even achieving a million customers all across India. It takes an exceptional team of people like the ones we’ve got at Cariot Auto. We take pride in being a part of Cariot Auto and building one of the coolest teams around. Each one of us fills that role because they believe in our mission and want to create a legacy for themselves and their family every bit as big as ours.
