Quikr is an online marketplace and classified advertising platform used to buy, sell, or rent items in India. It was founded in 2008 by Pranay Chulet, an IIT and IIM graduate, as a local version of Craigslist. Quikr allows buyers and sellers to meet online and transact offline. It has grown significantly since launch and as of 2015 had over 1.5 million transactions per month valued at $5 billion, with 1200 employees across 900 cities in India. Pranay Chulet's leadership and localization of the platform to different cities helped make Quikr a leader in the Indian classifieds space.
