Gurugram, August 28th, 2025: When BluSmart closed operations earlier this year, thousands of professional drivers suddenly found themselves without jobs. For many, years of experience on the road risked being lost to uncertainty. CARS24, India’s leading autotech platform, has stepped in with a bold solution, transforming disruption into opportunity by creating long-term, future-ready 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 years of experience in navigating India’s toughest city roads. Today, they are leveraging that same expertise to evaluate cars for millions of CARS24 customers.
Every Car Inspector undergoes a rigorous certification process designed by CARS24’s in-house experts. This includes hands-on training with AI-powered inspection tools, modules on customer interaction and deep exposure to the company’s proprietary vehicle assessment systems. The result is a workforce that blends human experience with
technological precision, capable of delivering the 140+ checks that define CARS24’s gold standard of vehicle inspections.
This transition is more than a job switch, it represents a career upgrade. Drivers who once earned per ride are now part of India’s largest autotech ecosystem, with stable employment, growth opportunities and a clear career trajectory.
At CARS24, these new roles are only the beginning. Car Inspectors who demonstrate high performance and ambition will also have the opportunity to grow beyond frontline roles under its Mission Elevate program moving into functions like training, operations or even corporate positions such as marketing on the basis of merit.
By creating this pathway, CARS24 ensures that talent is not confined to where it starts. Skilled professionals who once powered city mobility can now aspire to build broader, long-term careers in India’s fast-growing autotech industry.
“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, CARS24 The initiative also reflects CARS24’s larger vision of Better drives, better lives. Beyond transforming how Indians buy, sell and own cars, CARS24 is investing in the workforce that powers this transformation. With India’s mobility sector facing constant disruption the company is proving that with the right training, talent can always be redeployed into new and growing areas.
By reimagining driving experience as a foundation for future jobs, CARS24 is also creating a new employment pathway within autotech. The role of Car Inspectors is becoming central to the company’s customer experience, ensuring that every car that enters the CARS24 ecosystem is thoroughly inspected, verified and trusted. CARS24 plans to scale this initiative further in the coming months. With continued demand for reliable car inspections across its rapidly expanding network, the company sees significant potential to absorb skilled talent from across the mobility industry, not only ex-drivers but also others seeking to build careers in the growing autotech ecosystem.
