Bengaluru, September 9, 2025 — DriveX Mobility, a leading player in India’s pre-owned two-wheeler segment, has officially launched DriveX Direct, a consumer-to-consumer (C2C) platform aimed at transforming the way individuals buy and sell used two-wheelers. The initiative marks a strategic expansion for the company, which has traditionally operated through company-owned and franchise outlets.
DriveX Direct is designed to address long-standing challenges in the C2C space, including lack of trust, pricing ambiguity, and cumbersome documentation. The platform offers verified listings, transparent pricing with no platform fees, secure negotiation tools, and access to financing through trusted partners. It also provides document facilitation, warranty options, and value-added services to streamline the transaction process.
The platform went live across more than 20 cities in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, with plans to expand to other major urban centers by the end of the year. Early pilot results in Bengaluru have been promising, with most buyers securing vehicles within five days and sellers completing transactions within ten days of listing.
Saran Samiappan, Head of DriveX Direct, stated, “This launch marks a pivotal step in redefining how consumers experience the pre-owned two-wheeler market. By combining AI-driven tools, trusted verification, and end-to-end assistance, we are empowering users with choice, transparency, and a seamless journey from listing to ownership.”
DriveX Direct is powered by proprietary technology, including an AI-based pricing engine and fraud detection tools that flag issues such as RC mismatches and duplicate listings. The platform is especially tailored to first-time buyers and sellers, offering an assisted user experience and multilingual customer support. A mobile app is also under development for future rollout.
Narain Karthikeyan, Director of DriveX, emphasized the platform’s mission to democratize access to quality mobility. “DriveX Direct is about giving everyday people more control and confidence when buying or selling their two-wheelers. It’s a space where people can deal directly with each other, but with the peace of mind that DriveX is there to assist them at the right moment.”
As part of its launch offer, DriveX Direct is providing free listings and promotional visibility for the first 60 days. Early users will also benefit from priority access to services such as retail finance, RC transfers, and insurance assistance.
Over the next 6 to 12 months, DriveX aims to build a trusted community of over 20,000 active listings and scale its value-added services, including refurbishment, post-purchase servicing, and warranty coverage.
