GaadiMandi
Automotive Dealer & Vehicle Inventory Management Platform
GaadiMandi
India's Next-Gen Dealership & Automotive Network
A full-stack automotive marketplace and dealership operating system that gives independent dealers their own branded digital showroom, live inventory, financial telemetry, and direct buyer communication.
The Problem
Independent dealerships often depend on third-party listing portals instead of having a professional website of their own.
Dealers need to understand active capital, vehicle aging, refurbishment costs, holding-cost bleed, and actual profit.
Used-vehicle buyers need inspection information, verified documents, transparent pricing, and easy direct communication with dealers.
One Platform. Two Experiences.
GaadiMandi connects a dealer's public digital showroom with a private dealership operating system — keeping inventory, leads, finances, and customer-facing listings connected in real time.
Every Dealer Gets Their Own Website
Instead of sending customers screenshots or scattered marketplace listings, a dealer can share one personalized GaadiMandi URL containing their live inventory.
Customers see available vehicles, pricing, inspection scores, verification status, and WhatsApp contact — all from the dealer's own branded showroom.
What I Built
Personalized dealership URLs with branded layouts, inventory, contact information and live customization.
Inline editing of typography, colors, banners, logos, assurances and showroom content.
Real-time inventory capital, profit, leads, aging and holding-cost telemetry.
Vehicle pricing, acquisition cost, specifications, documents, images and availability management.
Sale settlement, expense tracking, ROI calculation and immutable financial snapshots.
Search, autocomplete, multi-parameter filtering, wishlists, vehicle discovery and direct inquiry workflows.
Designed Around Real Dealer Workflows
Dealer manages inventory and publishes it instantly to their personal showroom.
Dealer sends one showroom link to customers inquiring on WhatsApp.
Customers inspect vehicles, request test drives, and contact the dealer directly.
The Interesting Part
Owners can enter Edit Website mode directly on their live showroom and change content, themes, banners, logos and trust sections without navigating a traditional admin CMS.
Built With
Django powers the modular backend, ORM, authentication, financial logic and AJAX endpoints, while HTMX and vanilla JavaScript provide fast partial updates and live showroom interactions without unnecessary page reloads.
Engineering Highlights
HTMX-powered inventory filtering and asynchronous updates without full page reloads.
Automated acquisition cost, expenses, holding-cost bleed, profit and ROI calculations.
Distinct buyer and dealership workflows with strict permission and session boundary controls.
PostgreSQL support, Cloudinary media pipeline, WhiteNoise static delivery, Gunicorn deployment and custom error handling.
Visual Direction

Outcome
GaadiMandi turns a traditional dealership into a digitally owned business — giving dealers a professional storefront, live inventory management, financial visibility, and direct customer communication in one connected platform.
