Spinny on the Growing Share of Tier 2 and Tier 3 Buyers in the Used Car Market

Published

on

Spinny sheds light on how digital innovations and evolving consumer preferences are propelling the growth of the used car market in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.

MUMBAI, India, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The used car market in India is witnessing significant growth, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, driven by digital innovations and evolving consumer preferences. Spinny, a prominent player in this sector, highlights how these developments are reshaping the landscape of used car sales.

In cities like Lucknow, Kochi, Indore, Pune, and Nagpur, the used car market has transformed from a largely unorganised segment into a structured, technology-led domain. This shift has been facilitated by tech-powered platforms that offer transparency, reliability, and accessibility, revolutionising the way consumers purchase used cars. The integration of technology has streamlined transactions, enhancing consumer confidence and making car ownership more accessible to a broader demographic.

Increasing Demand for SUVs and Hatchbacks

A significant trend observed is the rising preference for SUVs among used car buyers. SUVs, known for their versatility and ability to handle diverse terrains, are becoming the top choice for nearly 40% of used car buyers in non-metropolitan cities. This preference indicates a general trend towards the utility and comfort that SUVs provide.

Additionally, hatchbacks such as the Renault Kwid, Hyundai Grand i10, and Tata Tiago are among the best-selling models in the used car segment. These models cater to the growing consumer demand for affordable and efficient vehicles, reflecting a shift towards more compact and economical options alongside the continued dominance of SUVs.

Luxury Cars Gaining Popularity

The luxury car segment is also experiencing noticeable growth in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. Factors such as enhanced economic stability, rising disposable incomes, and the aspirational value associated with brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi contribute to this trend. Consumers in these regions are increasingly drawn to luxury pre-owned cars, not only for their prestige but also due to the robust assurances and comprehensive quality guarantees offered by tech-enabled service providers. This growing interest is particularly strong for second hand cars in Indore, Pune, and Nagpur.

Digital Transformation and Market Dynamics

The digital transformation in the used car market has simplified the buying and selling process, instilling a sense of security and trust that was previously challenging to establish. Tech-powered platforms provide structured and reliable services, which are crucial for consumers in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. This digital integration has played a pivotal role in driving the growth of the used car market, making it more accessible and appealing to a wider audience.

In particular, the interest in second hand cars in Lucknow and similar cities is growing due to these digital advancements, further contributing to the overall market expansion.

With these dynamics at play, the used car market in India is poised for continued expansion. The integration of digital tools streamlines transactions and builds consumer trust, setting the stage for further growth and innovation in the sector.

About Spinny

Founded in 2015, Spinny is a full-stack used car retailing platform that aims to bring about transparency and convenience in buying and selling pre-owned cars. As a testimony of Spinny’s commitment to transparency and quality, every vehicle on their platform comes with a 200-point inspection checklist, 5-day money-back guarantee, and 1-year after-sales warranty. Spinny has about 36 car hubs operating across 22 cities in India. Last year, Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar partnered with Spinny as a strategic investor and a lead brand ambassador. Sports icon, PV Sindhu, a believer & customer of Spinny, is also a part of a series of marketing initiatives focused on realising the aspirations of a billion car dreams.

Polish Creator Łatwogang Named Impact Creator of the Year as Tiltify Unveils the Creator Impact Class of 2026

From livestreams and gaming to road trips and stadium events, inaugural honorees celebrate the creativity and community shaping a new culture of giving

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tiltify, the platform behind more than $500 million in creator-driven charitable fundraising worldwide, today named the Creator Impact Class of 2026, the inaugural class of its annual Creator Impact Honors. Co-founder and CEO Michael Wasserman announced the winners during a livestream on twitch.tv/tiltify.

Polish internet creator Łatwogang received the program’s top honor, Impact Creator of the Year, along with the Grassroots Mobilization Award and the Storytelling for Impact honor. In April 2026, Łatwogang hosted a nine-day charity livestream on YouTube as part of “Diss na raka” (Diss Cancer), an initiative involving Cancer Fighters, rapper Bedoes 2115 and other creators and supporters. Bedoes recorded the song “Ciągle tutaj jestem (diss na raka)” with Maja Mecan, an 11-year-old receiving cancer treatment. Donations, auctions, charity events and partner and creator initiatives brought the campaign’s total to more than $76 million.

The honors also recognize creators whose smaller audiences have come together to make an outsized difference. Atheenabean, a Twitch creator whose community fundraises as the Bean Squad, won the Small-But-Mighty Fundraiser award for raising $27,865 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Project HOPE. Of the 531 donations across her two campaigns, 478 were under $100. Creator couple Taz Zammit and Alessia Allfree received the First Light award for their 2025 annual 24-hour fundraiser, which raised $11,404 for Altru, an all-volunteer charity the pair had volunteered with the year before.

“This class covers just about every way a creator can raise money for a cause, from a nine-day livestream in Poland and a bike ride across Japan to a football match at Wembley and a Minecraft server where donors bought their names onto signs,” said Michael Wasserman, co-founder and CEO of Tiltify. “These honorees give people creative, meaningful ways to help. They make generosity part of their communities’ lives, and that’s what we built the Honors to celebrate. We’re grateful to every creator, moderator and community member whose work made this year’s class.”

Other honorees include the ZEvent team, whose September 2025 marathon in Montpellier brought together nearly 350 French-speaking streamers and raised more than $18 million for healthcare workers, patients and cancer research. The Sidemen’s Charity Match drew a reported 2.26 million peak concurrent viewers and 90,000 live fans in attendance at Wembley Stadium, and raised more than $8.2 million for Bright Side and M7 Education. Ryan Trahan and Haley Pham’s 50 States in 50 Days series raised $11,662,411 for St. Jude, and any single donation of $50,000 or more triggered a spin of the “Wheel of Doom,” which added a new constraint to the trip. Hermitcraft’s Minecraft charity weekend for Gamers Outreach, where donors could buy their names onto signs in the game, received two honors. Yogscast’s Jingle Jam 2025 also received two, including the fan-voted Community Choice Award, and John and Hank Green received both the Livestream Impact Award and the Legacy of Giving honor.

An independent eight-member jury that included creator MatPat selected the winners after reviewing nominations and impact data supplied by Tiltify. Tiltify administered the program and had no vote. Nominations were open to creators on any platform, whether or not they had fundraised through Tiltify.

Six Data Integration Solutions Named Champions in Infotech’s 2026 Emotional Footprint Report

Published

on

By

Drawing on verified end-user reviews from SoftwareReviews, Infotech’s peer-review platform, the 2026 Data Integration Emotional Footprint Report recognizes six champions for customer experience and vendor relationships. The findings help organizations assess user sentiment alongside technical capabilities when evaluating data integration solutions.

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 28, 2026 /CNW/ — Organizations use data integration solutions to connect disparate systems, improve data quality, and make timely, informed decisions. Infotech’s 2026 Data Integration Emotional Footprint Report identifies six champions that stand out for delivering strong user satisfaction, trust, and overall customer experience. The recognition is based on verified feedback collected through the global research and advisory firm’s SoftwareReviews platform.

Modern data integration solutions connect organizational data by bringing together information from applications, databases, and cloud environments. These platforms provide capabilities such as data extraction, transformation, synchronization, quality management, and monitoring of data flows. With centralized oversight and automated workflows, they help IT and data teams maintain consistent, reliable information, support governance requirements, and deliver timely data for analytics and business operations.

Infotech’s Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment by aggregating responses across 25 proactive questions, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product. The result is the Net Emotional Footprint (NEF), a composite score that reflects the overall emotional tone of user feedback.

The 2026 Data Integration Emotional Footprint Champions are as follows:

AWS Glue, +94 NEF, rated highly for being altruistic.Microsoft SQL Server, +89 NEF, rated highly for its reliability.Zapier, +90 NEF, rated highly for enabling productivity.Boomi, +86 NEF, rated highly for its trustworthiness.Azure Data Factory, +85 NEF, rated highly for friendly negotiations.Flowgear, +91 NEF, rated highly for its transparency.

Analyst Insight:

“Choosing a data integration platform means choosing a vendor your team may depend on for years. When an integration fails, the impact can extend to every process relying on that data,” says Abbas Jaffery, principal advisory director at Infotech. “Vendors can build trust by helping their clients adapt their integrations as business needs change and by being clear about what their products can support. For buyers, hearing from existing users helps them understand what they can expect from that relationship after implementation.”

User assessments of software categories on SoftwareReviews provide an accurate and detailed view of the constantly changing market. Infotech’s reports are informed by data from users and IT professionals who have direct experience with the software throughout the procurement, implementation, and maintenance processes.
