Vingo raises $1.2 million seed round led by IndiaQuotient; C2C marketplace for pre-owned goods to boost trust infrastructure

Vingo, an India-based consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplace for buying and selling pre-owned products, has raised ₹10 crore (approximately $1.2 million) in a seed funding round led by IndiaQuotient, with Inuka Capital and angel investor Rishabh Goel, Founder of .¹²³

Founded in March 2026 by Parth Sarthi of BITS Pilani, along with IIT Delhi students Saransh Goyal and Krish Vashistha, Vingo operates a marketplace for buying and selling pre-owned products across categories including smartphones, cameras, gaming consoles, musical instruments, fashion, and sports equipment.

The platform combines identity verification, community-led discovery, escrow-backed payments, and bidding to facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers.

“Consumer-to-consumer commerce is increasingly becoming a way for people to own products they may not otherwise buy new, while helping someone else realise value from products they no longer use. We are building Vingo around that behaviour by making it easier for people to discover, trust and transact directly with one another.”

“We believe consumer-to-consumer commerce in India needs a fresh approach built from the ground up. The Vingo team has a thoughtful approach to the category, and we are excited to partner with them as they build.”
