CredR clocks Sale of over 1400 Units in a Month

In a record breaking move, CredR - India’s leading online marketplace for listing and purchasing verified, pre-owned vehicles at the fairest value, sold over 1,400 bikes in one month.

In less than a year, CredR has witnessed an aggressive surge in the sales and popularity among the bikers’ community. The lead conversion of sales through the website increased from 31% to a whopping 45%, by just servicing in three cities – Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore.

Recently, CredR also extended its disruptive service of enabling a platform for buying and selling of used bikes to Delhi. The company further plans to expand their reach to more than six cities in this financial year.

Buoyed by the initial response it received from the bike enthusiasts, CredR had unveiled a one of its kind referral programme ‘Captain Campus’ for its young patrons. The pre-designed 6 weeks initiative kicked-off from Pune popularly known as the ‘Detroit of India’. The initiative was launched simultaneously in several colleges of Pune, where students were asked to enroll themselves as referees, to help connect potential buyers with CredR. This programme shared incentives with both the buyer and referrer on the closing of a deal, through CredR. Within a short span of two weeks, the activity garnered enrollment from over 450 students that led to an unprecedented spike in its overall sales.

Through the Captain Campus programme, referees get a chance to earn Rs 1500/- on each bike sold through CredR and a win cash prizes of up to Rs. 75000/- along with a grand Trip to Bangkok on the reference of 50th bike sold. CredR also promises to give away a bike worth Rs. 30,000/- free of cost on the reference of 30th bike sold through CredR.

With the growing popularity and outstanding response gained for ‘Captain Campus’ in Pune, CredR plans to take this activity further to its young patrons residing in other parts of the country too.

Talking about the success of this initiative, Mr. Sumit Chhazed, Co-Founder, CredR.com commented, “We are overwhelmed with the phenomenal response received from our patrons, across markets. Increasingly, we are looking at strengthening our approach towards listing verified and tested bikes for buyers. Our Captain Campus initiative, along with the exclusive services offered by CredR, has been as a catalyst in enhancing the overall experience of buyers and sellers of used bikes. This will help us build trust amongst our valued patrons, and thereby, increase our customer-base across markets in India.”

UD SLF pilot operations in Bengaluru

The first customer trials for UD city bus was flagged off today in Bengaluru. The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) will operate this bus on key routes over the next two months. 

The buses were flagged off at a ceremony by Shri. Ramalinga Reddy, Hon’ble Transport Minister, Government of Karnataka and Dr. Ekroop Caur, Managing Director, BMTC, along with senior members of the transport corporation. Akash Passey, Senior Vice President – Business Region International, Volvo Bus Corporation, and Suresh Chettiar, Vice President and Head – Commercial, Volvo Buses India were also present on this occasion.

The start of the first customer trials is a significant milestone in the introduction of UD Buses in India. In 2014, Volvo Group unveiled the UD Buses brand as part of its strategy to foray into the value segment in growth markets. India is now the first market where UD Buses is being introduced.

The UD SLF is a semi low-floor city bus that will create the benchmark in the value segment with features that impart the best performance with focus to excel on essentials such as fuel efficiency, reliability and optimized uptime.

Akash Passey said, “The start of the trials is a momentous occasion for UD Buses. The UD SLF city bus exemplifies the aspirations of passengers and drivers who clearly demand better commute experience. With several features that are first in the value segment, stakeholders will be able to realise better benefits. I am confident that UD Buses will further enhance the bus-based public transport system and motivate more cities to adopt this product.

“BMTC has always taken the lead in adopting the best solutions for urban mobility. They were the first to induct Volvo city bus in India – a trend that has now spread to about 30 locations in the country with 1500 buses plying. With the trials of the UD SLF, we are hopeful that another movement will happen in the due course wherein other locations will also adopt this mobility solution. 

We would like to thank BMTC and the Transport Department, Government of Karnataka for motivating us to develop new mobility solutions that will be offered under UD Buses. We will continue to work as partners with all stakeholders to bring the latest public transport solutions to India,” he added.

Bengaluru has been home for Volvo Group in India since 1998. With the support of the state government and various authorities, this city has become a shining example for bus-based public transport system in India.
