      Two months after car service and repair firm, GoMechanic publicly admitted to financial misreporting, the troubled startup has found a buyer in a consortium led by Lifelong Group.

      According to a report by Yourstory, Delhi-based Lifelong India Pvt Ltd is acquiring GoMechanic as the majority shareholder under its Servizzy entity.

      Lifelong Group, incorporated in 1985, is a renowned manufacturer of automotive components, medical devices, and a player in the ecommerce space.

      The development comes barely two months after the startup’s co-founder Amit Bhasin admitted to errors in the company’s financial reporting. The company also said it will lay off 70% of its workforce and conduct a third-party audit of its business.

      Founded in 2016, the Sequoia India-backed startup has serviced and repaired more than two million cars in the country through its service centers, and says its services cost 40% less than the offerings of automakers.
