What's the deal? Ahmedabad-based autotech startup SpinotoDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has raised $149,000 in pre-seed funding to strengthen its technology and scale operations. The platform connects vehicle owners with automobile service providers, from routine servicing and repairs to workshop bookings.

Where the money goes: The capital will fund technology development, product enhancement, and stronger operational systems. "We are moving from learning the market to building for scale," said founder Krunal Rana.

Why now? The startup has built its presence from Ahmedabad and plans to firm up its operating model before expanding into other major Indian cities.
