CarTrade.com was launched in October 2006 by Akshay Shankar and Nick Silderhuis. The website was founded to provide more transparency to the Indian car and bike market, so that vehicle buyers and sellers are able to close better and more informed deals, in a more efficient way.

CarTrade.com caters to buyers and sellers of new cars, used cars, new bikes and used bikes. It is a comprehensive vehicle platform, offering finance, insurance and other such services too.

From inception, the growth of the website has been strong in all dimensions. As of today, CarTrade.com has several thousands of dealers signed up who are using the portal's services to sell their cars and bikes. The website gets several lacs of visitors monthly looking to buy a car or bike. On a monthly basis, CarTrade.com makes thousands of vehicle deals happen.

CarTrade.com is one of the leading auto portals of India today, and we are growing aggressively to strengthen that position.

In 2009, CarTrade.com was acquired by MotorExchange.in, a solution for business buyers and sellers of vehicles.
