CarTrade Tech Limited today announced its Multi-Agent AI Ecosystem, set to be rolled out across platforms over the coming months, a transformative technology initiative designed to enhance customer experience across its platforms while accelerating margin expansion.
This announcement follows the Company’s strongest quarterly performance to date, with record quarterly revenue of Rs. 228 crore and a best-in-class 37% EBITDA margin in Q3 FY26. Building on this operating momentum, the Company is providing an update on the core strategic levers driving CarTrade Tech’s next phase of margin expansion and market dominance.
Each of CarWale, BikeWale, and OLX India individually attracts over 150 million annual users, with approximately 95% of traffic generated organically a strong indicator of brand trust and platform stickiness. Importantly, user traffic continues to grow consistently on a monthly basis, reflecting sustained consumer engagement and expanding network effects. This scale advantage is further reinforced by over a decade of proprietary data across the ecosystem.
While our Consumer, Remarketing, and OLX remain fundamentally strong, our strategic focus is on compounding this advantage through accelerated technological innovation. Over the coming months, we will launch a series of specialized AI agents designed to deliver a more differentiated and intelligent experience across all our platforms. By activating our data strengths through these AI capabilities, we aim to enhance transaction efficiency, improve customer outcomes, and deepen engagement across customer segments.

A complete end-to-end agent that stitches together the entire experience. This is expected to drive higher conversion rates and faster transaction closures.
