Online classifieds company Quikr has acquired Stepni, a platform that connects vehicle owners with service providers nearest to them, in an attempt to strengthen its offerings under QuikrCars.
Founded by Vinay Singh and Nikhil Nair in October 2015, Stepni has helped thousands of consumers with their vehicle servicing needs in Bengaluru through a partner network of over 125 service centres across the city.
Stepni’s founders and team will join QuikrCars. The overall platform integration will help QuikrCars consumers shortlist service providers that can ensure the best service for their vehicle within 5 km of their location.
Since last year, Quikr has made several acquisitions. QuikrHomes has acquired Realty Exchange (IRX), Realtycompass and CommonFloor and made a strategic investment in A N Virtual Tech.
QuikrServices has acquired beauty services companies Salosa and Zapluk. QuikrJobs has also acquired Hiree to expand into white collar jobs.
