Autoverse Mobility appoints Rama Shankar Pandey as co-founder, launches parts platform

MUMBAI: Autoverse Mobility has announced the appointment of automotive industry veteran Rama Shankar Pandey as its co-founder, alongside the launch of the autoverse parts procurement platform, an integrated digital ecosystem designed to help independent workshops source genuine parts quickly and reliably.

Pandey, former managing director of Hella India Lighting and a long-standing executive committee member at ACMA, joins the leadership team as the company strengthens its technology-led aftermarket strategy. His career spans more than two decades, with senior roles at Bosch, Tata Green Batteries and Hella’s India operations. He has also chaired ACMA’s aftermarket committee, where he played a key role in shaping policy and industry collaboration for the independent servicing ecosystem.

Autoverse’s newly introduced procurement platform aims to streamline the fragmented multibrand workshop network, where garages often face delays, unreliable sourcing, and inconsistent access to genuine parts. The fully integrated system connects workshops directly with OEMs, OES manufacturers, and authorised distributors, creating a transparent and efficient supply chain.

The platform includes more than 6 million car–part mappings for precise fitment checks, real-time stock visibility and pricing, integrated ordering and tracking, category-wise support for key components, and built-in garage management tools such as loyalty programmes, automated recommendations and performance insights.

Backed by Autoverse’s expanding network of own and partner warehouses, the company promises delivery of high-demand parts within 45 minutes, powered by a hybrid milk-run and express logistics model.

Speaking on his new role, Pandey said Autoverse is building “a transparent, tech-enabled supply chain” that addresses one of the biggest challenges faced by workshops: sourcing genuine parts quickly and reliably. “With the launch of our integrated partner app and web platform, we are creating a future-ready ecosystem that delivers authenticity, speed and operational efficiency,” he added.

Autoverse Mobility founder and CEO Mihir Mohan said Pandey’s leadership depth will be pivotal as the company scales nationwide. “With our new platform, we are strengthening our promise of timely access to genuine, high-quality parts, enabling garages to deliver safer and more dependable service to car owners,” he added.

Autoverse also hosted an event bringing together more than 75 multi brand workshops, where the platform and Pandey’s new role were formally introduced, signalling deeper collaboration within the automotive aftermarket.
