About Droom

**Droom — company profile** Droom is an Indian online marketplace for buying and selling new and used automobiles, founded in 2014 by Sandeep Aggarwal and headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana. Aggarwal previously founded ShopClues, India's first online managed marketplace, and is described as the only Indian tech entrepreneur to have founded two unicorns back-to-back within a decade. Rather than operating as a pure classifieds site, Droom built a full-stack digital ecosystem of technology products around used-vehicle transactions. Its core proprietary assets include Orange Book Value (OBV), an algorithmic used-vehicle pricing engine described as India's first and only algorithmic pricing engine for vehicles, which returns a benchmark fair price instantly; ECO, a technology, AI and IoT-driven vehicle inspection product; History, described as India's largest repository of used-vehicle historical records; Droom Fintech, covering loans and insurance; and Velocity, its last-mile fulfilment and delivery service. This stack lets the platform cover pricing, inspection, vehicle history, financing and doorstep delivery rather than only listings. Droom works with a large dealer network — reported at over 21,800 used-car dealers, and elsewhere at over 350,000 dealers across its wider ecosystem — spanning roughly 1,100 cities in India and Southeast Asia. As of 2021 the company reported an annualised GMV run-rate of $1.7 billion and net revenue of $54 million, with stated projections at the time of reaching $2 billion GMV and over $65 million net revenue. Droom has raised approximately $344 million in total funding, with investors including Lightbox, Beenext, Beenos, Digital Garage, Toyota Tsusho Corporation, Joe Hirao, Integrated Assets Management, 57 Stars and Seven Train Ventures. In July 2021 it raised roughly $200 million in a pre-IPO round at a $1.2 billion valuation, entering the unicorn club. **Industry:** Automobile Marketplace / E-commerce **Headquarters:** Gurugram, Haryana, India **Official website:** https://droom.in/ **Why work here as a fresher** Droom is the kind of company where early-career talent is given real scope rather than busywork. Interns and freshers are placed on live problems, paired with experienced mentors, and reviewed on the same quality bar as everyone else. That combination — real ownership plus real feedback — is what turns a first role into a genuine career head start. **Culture** Expect a fast-paced, outcome-oriented environment with flat communication, short feedback loops and a strong bias for action. Teams are small enough that your contribution is visible and large enough that you learn from people who have already solved the problem you are facing. Learning, curiosity and honest debate are valued over hierarchy. **Growth & hiring** Droom hires internships across engineering, data, product, design, marketing, finance and operations, and a meaningful share of its early-career hires convert to full-time offers. All openings are published on the company's official careers page, and applications for this role are submitted directly to Droom there — no middlemen, no aggregators.
