Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Sanjeev Agrawal, Co-Founder & CEO of Tyremarket.com is one of those who swam across the tide to convert his dream into reality. Born and brought up in a family involved in the tyre business, Sanjeev says, “My earliest memory of the tyre business goes back when I was seven years old, enjoying jumping into stacks of tyres along with my brothers trying to find that one tyre, the customer was looking for”. After gaining vast experience in the IT industry specifically ecommerce and inventory management applications in the U.S for more than two decades, he returned to India to fulfil his dream of automating the Tyre ecosystem.
Sanjeev knew that the Indian tyre industry is unorganised, lacks automation and needs a sea change to reach global standards. He was sure, if convenience is offered in the right shape, it would be a welcome change by manufacturers, sellers and customers who are the key stakeholders of the tyre industry. This led to the conception of Tyremarket.com, a platform that provides convenience by helping customers choose the right tyres at the right price. Tyremarket.com was launched in 2016. In a short time span, the portal has received over 500,000 visitors, more than a million page views, and 10,000+ tyre inquiries and sold over 5000 tyres.
