TrusTerra, an AI-backed marketplace for used electric vehicles (EVs), has raised Rs 9 crore in a pre-seed funding round co-led by Finvolve and India Accelerator, with co-investment from GrowthCap Ventures and participation from strategic angels including Shishir Maheswari, Samrath Jit Singh, Ayush Lohia, Kapil Nirmal and other investors.
The proceeds will be deployed to scale TruEV Score, expand its web and mobile marketplace across India’s top EV adoption cities and into Tier-2 markets, strengthen partnerships with OEMs, NBFCs, banks, and dealers, and invest in senior technology, operations, and business development hires, TrusTerra said in a press release.
Launched this year by Tanvir Singh, Saurabh Arora, Madhu Reddy, and Chanakya Agarwal, TrusTerra is an AI-driven marketplace for pre-owned electric vehicles, offering solutions such as TruEV Score™, TerraCash™, and TerraBid™ to bring transparency, trust, and liquidity to India’s fast-growing EV market. The platform aims to build the resale backbone of India’s EV revolution.
“With our TruEV Score™ and instant-sell marketplace, TrusTerra is unlocking trust and liquidity in India’s pre-owned EV market,” said Tanvir Singh, co-founder & CEO, TrusTerra.
Since inception, TrusTerra claims to have onboarded over 150 dealers, evaluated more than 2,000 used EVs for resale, and facilitated transactions worth over Rs 3 crore. Its TruEV Score™ is already being piloted with OEMs, NBFCs, and fleet operators, generating strong interest from lenders and manufacturers.
The Delhi-based startup aims to certify 20,000 used EVs across over 20 cities, expanding its presence through its web and mobile marketplace that enables customers, dealers, and financiers to trade used EVs with verified battery scores and instant financing.
