Pranay Kumar, Co-Founder & COO at Vahaan Bazar Private Limited, is at the forefront of reshaping India’s used commercial vehicle and construction equipment marketplace. As a founding leader of one of the country’s fastest-growing digital-first platforms, Pranay is driven by a clear mission: to make buying and selling used vehicles simpler, faster and more transparent for owners, dealers, and fleet operators nationwide. Under his leadership, Vahaan Bazar has launched its integrated app, offering a seamless marketplace for used commercial vehicles and construction equipment, with end-to-end services including auctions, buying and selling, insurance, finance and value-added solutions. By combining technology with strong on-ground support, the platform addresses fragmented markets, builds trust and streamlines processes, helping modernize a traditionally unorganized ecosystem.
With over a decade of experience across the automobile, logistics, and mobility sectors, Pranay brings a strong blend of operational excellence, sales and marketing leadership and SaaS-enabled growth expertise. He thrives in environments where ideas are turned into scalable businesses, guiding strategy, market expansion, team building, and revenue growth. His core areas of expertise include startup scaling, B2B and B2C sales strategy, digital transformation of traditional industries and operational process optimization, all of which have played a key role in Vahaan Bazar’s rapid expansion.
Before co-founding Vahaan Bazar in May 2023, Pranay built a strong foundation across leading organizations in mobility and automotive services. At LocoNav, he served as International Sales Manager and State Head, leading international business development initiatives and regional growth.
His earlier tenure at Ashok Leyland, spanning multiple roles including Area Manager – Service Mandi, Territory Customer Service Manager and Warranty Executive, saw him manage dealer networks, after-sales operations, and pan-India warranty claims, giving him deep insight into OEM operations and customer lifecycle management. He also held the role of Area Sales Manager at TVS TWG Warranty Solutions, leading extended warranty sales and claims management across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Beyond roles and titles, Pranay is recognized as a hands-on, execution-focused leader who values agility, accountability and collaboration. Passionate about mobility solutions, digital marketplaces, and emerging technologies, he remains open to conversations with investors, founders and industry leaders who share a vision of building inclusive, tech-driven ecosystems that create long-term value.
As Vahaan Bazar continues to scale across India, Pranay Kumar’s operational depth, market understanding, and founder’s mindset position him as a key driver in shaping the future of India’s used commercial vehicle and construction equipment marketplace.
