Toyota Kirloskar Sundaram Mobility Pvt Ltd (TKSM) has inaugurated its first multi-brand pre-owned car retail outlet under the ‘UTrust’ brand in Whitefield, Bengaluru, marking its formal entry into India’s organized used car market.
The move represents a strategic step toward building a comprehensive mobility ecosystem that spans the entire vehicle lifecycle—from sales and service to refurbishment and resale. TKSM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota Kirloskar Sundaram Automotive Solutions Pvt Ltd (TKSAS) and aims to scale this multi-brand model across key markets in India.
Operating under the UTrust brand, the new outlet will offer certified pre-owned vehicles across multiple brands, backed by rigorous inspections, refurbishment using genuine parts, warranty packages, roadside assistance, and transparent documentation including RC transfer.
The company stated that its integrated outlet model will ensure consistency in quality and customer experience by combining sourcing, refurbishment, retail, and service operations under one platform.
TKSM has also appointed Rajesh Menon as President to lead the company’s strategic growth and nationwide expansion. With over 35 years of industry experience, Menon is expected to play a key role in strengthening the brand’s presence in the pre-owned car segment.
Commenting on the launch, Geetanjali Kirloskar said the initiative aims to bring greater transparency, structure, and customer confidence to the pre-owned car market while building on existing platforms such as TServ Select.
Srivats Ram highlighted that the venture is designed as a scalable and integrated mobility platform that enhances value through efficient sourcing, refurbishment, and service integration, supporting long-term sustainable growth.
Meanwhile, Tadashi Asazuma emphasized that the initiative reflects the growing formalization of India’s pre-owned vehicle market, driven by structured processes, certification standards, and service assurance.
With the launch of its first UTrust outlet, TKSM aims to redefine the pre-owned car buying experience by combining trust, transparency, and convenience, while laying the foundation for a future-ready and customer-centric mobility ecosystem in India.
