Autoverse Mobility Launches Parts Procurement Platform; Appoints Rama Shankar Pandey as Co-founder
Autoverse Mobility, a technology-driven distribution platform transforming the Indian automotive aftermarket, has announced two major milestones. The company has appointed industry veteran Rama Shankar Pandey as its Co-founder and officially launched the Autoverse Parts Procurement Platform. This integrated digital ecosystem is designed to empower thousands of independent workshops across India by streamlining the sourcing of genuine automotive parts.
A Strategic Leadership Addition
Rama Shankar Pandey brings over two decades of leadership experience across the automotive, transportation, and manufacturing sectors. His distinguished career includes a decade-long tenure as Managing Director of Hella India Lighting and pivotal roles at Bosch and Tata Green Batteries. He has also served as the Chairman of the Aftermarket Committee at the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA).
At Autoverse, Rama will focus on strengthening manufacturer relationships, expanding distribution infrastructure, and accelerating the company’s tech-driven aftermarket strategy.
“Autoverse is building something truly transformative; a transparent, tech-enabled supply chain that addresses one of the biggest challenges workshops face today: sourcing genuine parts reliably and quickly,” said Rama Shankar Pandey.
The Autoverse Parts Procurement Platform
The newly launched platform aims to solve major growth blockers for multi-brand workshops by connecting them directly to manufacturers and existing distributors. It is designed to eliminate sourcing inefficiencies and reduce downtime through several key features:
- Smart Parts Discovery: A comprehensive catalog with over 6 million car-part mappings ensures precise fitment checks for every repair job.
- Real-Time Availability & Pricing: Workshops get instant visibility into stock levels, pricing, and alternative part options across the network.
- Integrated Ordering & Tracking: The platform offers one-click ordering and live tracking from supplier to garage for complete transparency.
- Fast Delivery: Supported by a network of warehouses, Autoverse utilizes a hybrid milk-run and express logistics model to deliver high-demand parts within 45 minutes.
Transforming the Aftermarket Ecosystem
As vehicles move out of warranty, owners often struggle to find reliable service options. The independent multi-brand garage ecosystem remains fragmented, often varying in quality. Autoverse aims to change this by building a seamless, high-credibility supply chain that connects OEMs and OES manufacturers directly to garages.
Mihir Mohan, Founder and CEO of Autoverse Mobility, stated, “With our new platform, we are strengthening our promise of timely access to genuine, high-quality parts – enabling garages to deliver safer and more dependable service to car owners.”
