The three videos feature an animated lion which explains to viewers how OBV works, what its value proposition is, and why users should choose OBV to get an unbiased, independent and data-driven price for pre-owned vehicles. With the videos, already having received a great viewer reception online, the TVC campaign will allow Droom to reach out to even more consumers and educate them on the benefits of OBV.

Buying or selling a pre-owned vehicle can be a big hassle, especially when it comes to the pricing. But what if consumers could get a fair price of a vehicle within 10 seconds, right at their fingertips? This unique proposition offered by Orange Book Value (OBV) , Droom's proprietary algorithmic pricing engine, is what the recently-launched TVC campaign highlights. With three quirky animated videos, the latest TVCs from Droom underline why OBV is the perfect tool that empowers consumers and helps them in ascertaining the fair market price of any used vehicle within seconds. The importance of OBV as a benchmark price when buying or selling used vehicles is driven home with the brand's sharp tagline, 'Resale ka MRP'. This ease of usage and trust factor has driven great user traction, and has seen nearly 90 million pricing queries generated through OBV's web and mobile platforms till date.

Speaking on the launch, Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder & CEO, Droom, said, "With no definitive pricing standards for pre-owned vehicles, buying and selling a used automobile in India was quite a big hassle earlier, however, with OBV's data science-driven approach, we have created pricing benchmark for used vehicle across various categories and tens of thousands of make/models. These ads highlight how OBV empowers consumers when making used vehicle transactions. By generating the fair market price of any used vehicle within 10 seconds, OBV ensures that no one can make a fool, or 'bakra', out of consumers, and helps in ending the debate on 'used gaadi' rates!"

OBV makes valuation of used cars so simple, quick and objective that a deal can be reached within seconds. So, nobody can make a 'bakra' out of you. That's the simple idea behind this campaign."

Using OBV to determine the value of a vehicle is very simple. All users have to do is select their purpose (buying/selling), select vehicle category, and parameters (make, model, year, condition, trim, and km driven etc) in order to get an independent, unbiased and data-driven report on the fair value of any vehicle.

Droom takes animated route, urges vehicle sellers and buyers not to become 'bakras'.

Droom, a portal for buying and selling two-wheelers, cars, planes, and hoverboards, has rolled out a service to valuate these goods. The service is called 'Orange Book Value' (OBV) and a campaign conceptualised by Contract Advertising has been rolled out for the same.

Three videos feature an animated lion which explains to viewers how OBV works.

One film shows the lion explaining the uses of OBV. It claims that while selling or buying any vehicle, the best can also be made a bakra (fooled). The lion goes on to say that to avoid being fooled, download the OBV ad and get the right value of each vehicle in 10 seconds. It ends with the message: 'Resale ka MRP'.

Another film explains why OBV should be used. The lion points to a conveyor belt, on which lions are lined up to get a goat's head placed on theirs. It says that everyone in the country who buys and sells used vehicles, is getting fooled. Stating that it won't happen anymore, the lion informs that OBV is independent, unbiased and objective, using real-time data to get real prices for each car.

The film to explain how OBV works shows the goat saying that everyone fooled it earlier. But now, since it has the OBV app, it can get the value of each vehicle easily. The goat goes on to show how the app works to get the right value.

Sandeep Aggarwal, founder and CEO, Droom, said, "With no definitive pricing standards for pre-owned vehicles, buying and selling a used automobile in India was quite a big hassle earlier. This is what OBV, with its data science-driven approach, addresses. These ads highlight how OBV empowers consumers when making used vehicle transactions. By generating the fair market price of any used vehicle within 10 seconds, OBV ensures that no one can make a fool, or 'bakra', out of consumers, and helps in ending the debate on 'used gaadi' rates!"

Droom-Powered Orange Book Value Looks to Set Gold Standard in Used Vehicle Market

article logo

Today Droom Technology Pvt Ltd launched Orange Book Value (OBV), another service in its array of services offered on the online used automobile marketplace. The Droom team calls OBV "India's first and only algorithmic benchmark pricing engine to measure the fair market price for any used automobile". OBV will available as a website as well as a mobile app (for android and iOS only). Sandeep Aggarwal, founder and CEO of Droom said on the occasion it was about increasing accuracy, minimising error and guesswork in setting a fair market based price for used vehicles across India. "Take for example a girl who moves to Delhi for her studies. She wants to buy a scooty. She has no way of knowing what the right price for a scooty would be. OBV's algorithm will help decide with more accuracy what the market price is, and what others are paying for a scooty in the area she wants to buy it". The Droom team of engineers, data scientists, product managers and marketing managers led by Sandeep and co-founder Rishab Malik has used empirical evidence gathered from the OBV platform built in to the Droom website in a bid to make the search engine as accurate as possible. The US patent pending algorithm OBV uses has been developed using data gathered across 13 months, 30,000 customer transaction, 61,000 auto dealers and 650 crore worth of transactions. The algorithm is vendor agnostic and uses real time data to provide search results. Sandeep's vision for OBV to be the go-to automobile bible for all answers when buying a used vehicle is evident. OBV has even been made available as a widget automobile bloggers and any enthusiast can embed in their own websites. "It gives such bloggers and content creators the opportunity to monetize their platforms by embedding OBV in their blogs etc". Then there are more plans to promote OBV across the banking community, and even publish a guidebook called the OBV to be used by underwriters. OBV already has the endorsement of Indian vehicle monoliths like RenewBuy and Carnation. Carnation founder Mr. Jagdish Khattar speaking on the occasion said OBV will "help the buyer, seller, and automobile industry". Sandeep has further plans to add more offerings to enhance the Droom customer experience. "We plan to add more historical information on the vehicles searched for. For example like name of previous owner, price it was bought for etc." Sandeep, who is also a founder of ShopClues now the fifth unicorn in the Indian startup ecosystem certainly has the Midas touch. Despite the unfortunate run in with the FBI, Aggarwal has the instinct for what will make a fortune. The used automobile industry is larger than the market for new vehicles in India. Somendra, part of OBV team says the ratio is 1.2:1 and potentially could be a billion dollar industry. Cofounder of Droom, Rishab said that the current used vehicle market in India is about 125 billion dollars a year while the potential to grow within India and beyond (beginning with the South Asian region) in the next 3 or so years is tremendous. Sandeep added that the launch of OBV will stand to create 18000 more transfers by next March while Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) could increase to 3,000 Cr.

Droom Pushes 'Orange Book Value' in Its Diwali Spot

Anyone who has ever sold a vehicle, or bought a pre-owned one, knows the hassles related to the most important aspect of the deal - the pricing. This gap is what makes Droom's Orange Book Value, an algorithmic pricing engine, such a disruptive phenomenon in the automotive resale space.

In order to firmly establish OBV's game-changing stance as an industry benchmark in the realm of automobile buying and selling, Droom has rolled out its mega marketing campaign titled 'Resale Ka MRP'. The brand has dedicated a huge budget of Rs 25 Cr for this program.

The idea behind the logo is that the price of used vehicle should be same for seller and buyer, reducing the negotiations between them and OBV provides that required pricing standard. The two dots in the middle of O in OBV signifies eyes and the two upper and lower halves of O signify the smiles of buyer and seller respectively. The brand has associated with orange color since start and has maintained the same in the new logo for the energy and warmth it signifies. It has added blue color which signifies trust, peace, intelligence and loyalty to provide appeal to both sellers and buyers. The fonts and typeface has been chosen to be viewer friendly as well emit authority of being the used product pricing standard.

Speaking on the announcement, Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder & CEO, Droom, said, "With the demand of pre-owned vehicles in the country outstripping that of new vehicles, there was a pressing need for an objective pricing mechanism. Through its data science-based approach, Orange Book Value gives a fair market price of a used vehicle under 10 seconds. With the 'Resale Ka MRP' campaign, we wish to underline how this algorithmic engine does away with all the discrepancies that have plagued this segment so far with non - standard pricing. We are confident of the game-changing potential of OBV and have therefore decided to support it with a dedicated media blitz that will enable more and more consumers and auto dealers to leverage the 21st century tech and data science pricing tool."

Team Contract, the ad agency behind the concept of the OBV TVC, added, "The Diwali season is a time when every brand is trying to enter consumer's mind space with gifting and home improvement ideas. But Diwali is also a time when friends get together and conversations take every direction. We decided to use an interaction between friends to showcase how opinions can often differ when it comes to agreeing on the value of a used car. Valuation of a used car is such a subjective and open discussion that there is hardly ever an easy agreement on it. This film beautifully captures one such conversation at a Diwali get together, and strongly underlines how a concept such as OBV can make this debate obsolete!"

The initiative includes a Diwali video, which revolves around a Diwali-time discussion between friends about the value of a pre-owned car, as well as two animated 'how-to' videos about OBV. The film be supported with digital, radio & outdoor media.

Don't be a 'bakra' says Droom's new TVC campaign for Orange Book Value!

Three animated videos continue Droom's sustained media blitz to establish OBV as the de-facto industry standard for used vehicle pricing

New Delhi, November 11, 2016: Buying or selling a pre-owned vehicle can be a big hassle, especially when it comes to the pricing. But what if consumers could get a fair price of a vehicle within 10 seconds, right at their fingertips? This unique proposition offered by Orange Book Value (OBV), Droom's proprietary algorithmic pricing engine, is what the recently-launched TVC campaign highlights. With three quirky animated videos, the latest TVCs from Droom underline why OBV is the perfect tool that empowers consumers and helps them in ascertaining the fair market price of any used vehicle within seconds. The importance of OBV as a benchmark price when buying or selling used vehicles is driven home with the brand's sharp tagline, 'Resale ka MRP'. This ease of usage and trust factor has driven great user traction, and has seen nearly 90 million pricing queries generated through OBV's web and mobile platforms till date.

Speaking on the launch, Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder & CEO, Droom, said, "With no definitive pricing standards for pre-owned vehicles, buying and selling a used automobile in India was quite a big hassle earlier, however, with OBV's data science-driven approach, we have created pricing benchmark for used vehicle across various categories and tens of thousands of make/models. These ads highlight how OBV empowers consumers when making used vehicle transactions. By generating the fair market price of any used vehicle within 10 seconds, OBV ensures that no one can make a fool, or 'bakra', out of consumers, and helps in ending the debate on 'used gaadi' rates!"

The three videos feature an animated lion which explains to viewers how OBV works, what its value proposition is, and why users should choose OBV to get an unbiased, independent and data-driven price for pre-owned vehicles. With the videos, already having received a great viewer reception online, the TVC campaign will allow Droom to reach out to even more consumers and educate them on the benefits of OBV. The company is spending INR 25 crores on the marketing to reach users.

Team Contract Advertising said, "Buying or selling a used car is usually accompanied by a feeling of inadequacy as neither party is sure that they have got the best deal. It's easy for the lesser informed party to get short-changed - or as the saying goes, made a 'bakra'. OBV makes valuation of used cars so simple, quick and objective that a deal can be reached within seconds. So, nobody can make a 'bakra' out of you. That's the simple idea behind this campaign."

Using OBV to determine the value of a vehicle is very simple. All users have to do is select their purpose (buying/selling), select vehicle category, and parameters (make, model, year, condition, trim, and km driven etc) in order to get an independent, unbiased and data-driven report on the fair value of any vehicle.
