The launch of a new e-commerce marketplace is a positive development for the company, indicating strategic expansion and a focus on digital growth.
Popular Vehicles and Services Limited (PVSL) announced the commencement of full-scale commercial operations of its e-commerce marketplace for automotive spare parts, Yanik (www.yanik.in). The platform operates under Zparex Digisolutions Private Limited, a step-down subsidiary of PVSL's wholly-owned subsidiary, Popular Mega Motors (India) Private Limited. This initiative aligns with PVSL's strategy to enhance its digital and retail parts ecosystem, complementing its existing physical spare parts distribution network with a scalable digital channel.
Yanik is primarily designed as a B2B marketplace, connecting automotive parts suppliers with customers such as spare parts dealers and independent garages. The platform currently offers access to over 13,000 verified automotive parts across major categories including engine components, brake systems, suspension, transmission, gearboxes, electrical parts, and body and interior components. This digital interface aims to provide customers with a convenient way to source products for vehicle maintenance, repair, and performance needs.
Mr. Naveen Philip, Managing Director of Popular Vehicles, stated, "The commencement of full-scale operations at Yanik marks an important milestone in our strategy of building a comprehensive aftermarket ecosystem. Popular Vehicles has developed a sizeable physical spare parts distribution network over the years, and Yanik enables us to extend these capabilities digitally and make spare parts more accessible to a wider customer base. We believe the combination of our OEM relationships, distribution capabilities and digital platform can create a scalable and recurring revenue opportunity over the long term."
