Every Part Has A Car

If you're someone who prefers to look for their own car parts, you'll know that sourcing genuine parts on the cheap isn't as straightforward as it should be. You'd often be spending a lot of your time scouring through unverified classifieds and making amounts of phonecalls to various suppliers and stockists, just to get a quote on a specific part. 

SpareXHub, an e-commerce platform focused on genuine auto spare parts, is aiming to solve this problem by connecting franchise dealers and automotive stockists with independent workshops and individual car owners on a single website - making it more convenient for consumers and businesses alike. In this episode, Ariff speaks to Founders Brahamananda and Devindran Ramanathan about their new startup business, their partners' response to selling car parts digitally, and how the Movement Control Order has affected the car industry on ground level.
