Girnar Software is focused IT company working on offshore products and outsourced software development

The foundation stone of CarDekho.com was laid back in March 2008, by two IIT graduates, as an initiative towards providing quality information in a quality environment on one of the biggest assets that a consumer owns in his lifetime.

CarDekho.com, a flagship product of Girnar Software Pvt. Ltd came into existence when two brothers from the small town of Jaipur decided to go out-of-the way and innovate in the online automobile space. Beginning with technology services to numerous clients, supported with the most expert team with humble backgrounds.

Girnar Software is focused IT company working on offshore products and outsourced software development. The group company was valued at Rs. 250 crores when it picked up its first ever round of funding from Sequoia Capital in 2013. The company concluded its Series B funding in Jan 2015, picking up Rs. 300+ crores with two Hong Kong based investors besides existing investor Sequoia.

This is the largest ever funding of a company in the auto portals sector in India, and GirnarSoft is now valued at Rs. 1800+ crores now. In Jan 2015, in a first-of-its kind partnership in the Indian Auto space,CarDekho.com announced an investment in the company by Mr. Ratan Tata, Chairman emeritus of the Tata Sons conglomerate.

As part of this investment, Mr. Tata has agreedto advise the company as and when required. Another feather in the cap was achieved when the company announced an investment in the company by HDFC Bank, the first time ever that a top bank partnered with an auto portal at this level.
