Automoto Inspekt AI: New buyer-first inspection platform in used-car market launched

While Spinny and Cars24 have streamlined seller operations, the buyer’s side of the transaction remains underserved. Inspekt AI was built specifically to solve this.

A Bengaluru-based mobility startup -- Automoto -- which primarily targets customer-first innovation, launched Inspekt AI, an AI-powered, buyer-centric vehicle inspection platform designed to bring transparency, trust, and intelligence to India’s rapidly growing used-car ecosystem.

India’s used-car market, valued at over $36 billion and projected to exceed $70–100 billion in the coming years, now outsells new cars and is expanding at well over double-digit CAGR.

Yet, despite this momentum, buyers continue to face significant trust gaps ranging from incomplete vehicle history to unclear mechanical condition and inconsistent inspection standards.

While large players like Spinny and Cars24 have streamlined seller operations, the buyer’s side of the transaction remains underserved. Inspekt AI was built specifically to solve this.

Salient features

A new standard for buyer protection Inspekt AI combines AI-assisted diagnostics with expert inspections to provide buyers with unbiased, platform-agnostic vehicle assessments, regardless of where they are purchasing marketplaces, dealers, or individual sellers.

Key capabilities include:

• AI-augmented damage and anomaly detection

• Deep mechanical & structural health reports

• Easy-to-understand risk summaries and purchase recommendations

• Completely independent, non-inventory model ensuring zero conflict of interest

“From day one, Automoto was built to eliminate customer compromise,” said Sreeraj PV, Founder & CEO of Automoto.

“With Inspekt AI, we’re bringing a neutral, AI-backed trust layer to the buyer something the market has needed for years. Our goal is simple -- empower buyers with clarity, confidence, and control.”

Inspekt AI is now live for bookings in Bengaluru, with plans to expand to major metros in the coming quarters.

Automoto is also exploring partnerships with banks, NBFCs, insurers, and mobility platforms to integrate Inspekt AI as part of an underwriting and risk-assessment layer.
