About Us
Founded in 2008 by Pranay Chulet and Jiby Thomas, Quikr, headquartered in Bangalore, India, sought to transform the classifieds market with a user-friendly online platform. The company strategically acquired Commonfloor, Grabhouse, and Stayilla to broaden its services and market penetration. Quikr's core mission centered on streamlining local commerce, aiming to deliver significant value to both buyers and sellers throughout India. Despite its initial success and expansion efforts, Quikr encountered substantial competition and various challenges within the dynamic online classifieds landscape, ultimately leading to its closure. The platform's initial innovative approach and subsequent growth through acquisitions mark a significant chapter in the evolution of online classifieds in India. Quikr's attempt to simplify local transactions and connect buyers and sellers demonstrated the potential and the difficulties inherent in the rapidly changing digital marketplace. While the company is no longer operational, its impact on the Indian e-commerce ecosystem and its innovative approach to classified listings remain noteworthy. The acquisitions, in particular, highlight Quikr's ambition to become a comprehensive solution for various consumer needs, from real estate to rentals. The challenges faced also offer valuable lessons for other businesses navigating the complexities of the Indian online market.
