Droom claims to grow approx 1500x in 16 months

Online automobile marketplace Droom Founder-CEO Sandeep Aggarwal in a conference in New Delhi claimed the company has grown around 1472x between January 2015 and April 2016.

"Unlike most e-commerce companies, we're in a high gross margin business. Almost 100% of the money we make goes into our margins. While most e-commerce companies spend around 17-20% of their GMV on marketing, ours is around 5%", Aggarwal said.

Droom claims to have a burn rate of 5.5% of the GMV and gross margin of 98.4%. The company's annualised GMV stands at $160 mn.

India's automobile market is currently the fifth largest in the world, and pegged at $125 bn. Its expected to grow up to $250 bn by 2020.
