• Cars24 creates long-term careers for ex-BluSmart drivers by hiring them as certified car Inspectors.
• Drivers undergo rigorous training with AI-powered tools and customer interaction modules, combining experience with technology.
• High-performing Inspectors can advance to roles in operations, training, or corporate positions through Cars24’s Mission Elevate program.

When BluSmart shut down operations earlier this year, thousands of professional drivers were suddenly left without jobs. Many feared that years of experience on India’s roads might go to waste. Cars24, India’s leading autotech platform, has stepped in with a solution, turning this disruption into opportunity by creating long-term careers for these drivers.

Through a structured program of training and certification, Cars24 has onboarded dozens of former BluSmart drivers as car Inspectors. More than half of the newly inducted car Inspectors at Cars24 come from BluSmart, bringing with them extensive experience navigating India’s busiest city roads. Today, they are using that same expertise to evaluate cars for millions of Cars24 customers.

Each car inspector goes through a rigorous certification process designed by Cars24’s in-house experts. The training includes hands-on use of AI-powered inspection tools, modules on customer interaction, and detailed exposure to the company’s proprietary vehicle assessment systems. This combination of human experience and technology ensures that every car undergoes more than 140 checks, meeting Cars24’s gold standard of inspections.

For many former drivers, this transition is more than a job change it is a career upgrade. Drivers who once earned per ride are now part of India’s largest autotech ecosystem, enjoying stable employment, growth opportunities, and a clear career path.

Cars24 also offers further advancement through its Mission Elevate program. High-performing car Inspectors have the chance to move beyond frontline roles into functions such as training, operations, or even corporate positions like marketing, based purely on merit.

By creating this career pathway, Cars24 ensures that talent is not wasted. Professionals who once powered city mobility can now build broader, long-term careers in India’s growing autotech sector.

“Cars24 has always believed that when industries shift, people should not be left behind. The closure of BluSmart created uncertainty for many skilled professionals. We saw an opportunity to channel their experience into something bigger building careers as certified car inspectors. This is not just about creating jobs, but about creating dignity, growth, and long-term stability”, said Gajendra Jangid, Co-Founder of Cars24.

The initiative also reflects Cars24’s larger vision of better drives and better lives. Beyond transforming how Indians buy, sell, and own cars, Cars24 is investing in the workforce that supports this change. With India’s mobility sector constantly evolving, the company is showing that with proper training, talent can be redeployed into new and growing opportunities.

Car Inspectors play a key role in the company’s customer experience, ensuring that every vehicle entering the Cars24 ecosystem is thoroughly inspected, verified, and trusted.

Cars24 plans to expand this initiative further in the coming months. With growing demand for reliable car inspections, the company sees significant potential to absorb skilled talent not just from ex-drivers, but also from others seeking careers in the fast-growing autotech ecosystem.
